Reflecting the theme “Our Global City, Our Home”, this logo depicts a globe with the little red island of Singapore as its focal point. The use of multi-coloured brushstrokes demonstrates the nation's vibrancy and connotes Singapore's unity and harmony as a multi-racial and multi-religious society. The brushstrokes are also a nod to Singapore's roots and Asian values. The futuristic black font shows the nation's boldness and forward-looking outlook.
