While working on the presidential flag image, I came across https://designer.kz and it has vector files for the updated Kazakh emblem with the Latin script instead of Cyrillic . He does link to the updated specifications at https://cloud.mail.ru.

In March 2024, President Tokayev announced that the state emblem would soon be changed because of its complicated and "Soviet-like" design. The new emblem will be decided through a contest. www.azattyq.org

Description of the flag: the Standard of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a light blue rectangular field with the proportions 2:3. The middle of the field is charged with a golden circle in which is inscribed the image of a young tribe leader of the Saks era [first century B.C.]. His right hand is raised, he is sitting on a winged snow leopard. The hand of the man has a bracelet, the neck has a necklace, the head is wearing a pointed hat. The image of the man and of the leopard is in gold. Under the leopard are some mountains with snow. [These are probably gold].

On the bottom of the standard are written the words in Kazakh "Standard of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan" in gold.

The flag is has a gold fringe on three of its sides. The hoist has a peak in bronze of the "kochkar mouilliz" (?) type to which is attached a decorative tassel.The hoist is ornated with silver nails bearing the engraved names, surnames and patronimic names of the Presidents of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the official language and the dates of taking office and resigning.

[President Nazarbaev and his flag] photo of "Vesti", Russian TV-Channel

Yesterday (6.7.2008) I saw TV-report with interview of President of Kazakhstan N.Nazarbaev. Presidential standard was behind him (see the photo). I think there is no inscription.

To support my previous opinion about KZ standard without inscriptions: Several days ago I saw TV-report about president of KZ N.Nazarbaev. The presidential standard behind him, I think, was without any inscriptions (see photo from my TVset). The small flag on the car was without inscription too.
