Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day celebration carries a significant theme centered around unity. The slogan “United in Sovereignty, Prosperous People, Advancing Indonesia” reflects a shared vision among the country’s leaders and citizens. Noudhy Valdryno, Deputy for Dissemination and Media Information at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), highlighted the importance of unity in upholding harmony and mutual cooperation in Indonesian society. President Prabowo Subianto’s dedication to the welfare of the people is evident through various programs aimed at improving public well-being, such as providing nutritious meals for children and expanding access to education through initiatives like the People’s School.
The aspiration of “Advancing Indonesia” involves enhancing global competitiveness, improving infrastructure, and striving for a developed nation status. The 80th Independence Day logo symbolizes this unity with three key elements representing Indonesia’s national journey. The logo’s core shape signifies the foundation of sovereignty, while the Manifestation Line embodies the collective journey toward a more equitable life. The integration of all elements into a complete form symbolizes a progressive and interconnected Indonesia.
In addition to visual design, the theme of unity resonates in the government’s commitment to transparency, policy clarity, and public trust. In an age of digital information, addressing challenges of misinformation and promoting critical thinking are essential. The 80th Independence Day celebrations aim for broad collaboration across all sectors of society to promote collective pride. The official logo, chosen from a pool of submissions, emphasizes the idea of joint ownership and shared celebration as driving forces toward a sovereign, prosperous, and progressive Indonesia.
Collaboration between the National Committee for the 80th Anniversary, the Ministry of State Secretariat, the Ministry of Creative Economy, and the Indonesian Graphic Designers Association resulted in the selection of a meaningful logo designed by Bram Patria Yoshugi. The involvement of President Prabowo in the design selection process underscores the significance of the logo in capturing the essence of Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day celebration.
