Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Israeli government has commissioned graphic artists to design posters for Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence Day).
The poster by Miriam Karoli, was selected from several posters prepared in the Bezalel Department of Graphics, as an expression of the conclusion of the first decade of the State of Israel and towards the second decade. The poster shows fireworks that were a symbol of Independence Day celebrations. The fireworks and their direction upwards, symbolize the joy and the desire to continue to increase it.

This poster doesn't include the classic elements and symbols of Israel, but rather a more colorful and somewhat abstract representation of Israel. In the corner there are figures (in shades of blue and white) of what looks like a family of Olim (immigrants), who have come to Israel by ship, still holding their luggage.
