In early 1992, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan adopted a resolution on the establishment of a working group on the preparation of state symbols. In accordance with this document, a special creative commission was created. It received 1,200 applications with creative designs of sketches of the National Flag, 245 draft images and 67 descriptions of the future Emblem, as well as 750 variants of the Anthem.

On June 4, 1992, at the 7th session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the twelfth convocation, the proposed draft symbols of the country were discussed and approved.
