The NDP Logo
Designed to celebrate our 60-year milestone, the NDP 2025 logo is a bold expression of unity, motion, and national spirit. For the first time, 25 Singaporeans were invited to co-create.
Our Official Logo: A Symbol of Unity
The NDP 2025 logo captures the essence of who we are. Diverse, resilient, and always moving forward together.
It fuses “60” and “GO” into a single graphic mark, reflecting both our milestone and momentum. At its core, five shooting stars form an upward arrow, representing Singapore’s ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice, and equality.
A visual rallying cry for all of us, to keep going.

Reimagining the Logo, Together
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, 25 Singaporeans, from artists to athletes, educators to entrepreneurs reinterpreted the NDP logo through their own stories. Each variant reflects personal hopes, memories, and dreams for Singapore, turning a national symbol into a canvas of individual expression. Together, they form a portrait of who we are: many stories, one nation.

Aisha Shamsudin
- Mental Health Advocate
My logo is inspired by my journey as a mental health advocate and expresses my hopes for Singapore’s continued growth. The letter ‘G’ forms a pair of hands gently cradling a sprout, symbolising our nation’s progress and the importance of being grounded and humble. This imagery reflects my belief that even after 60 years, Singapore must keep learning and remain ready to support those in need just as the sprout depends on nurturing soil and caring hands. The letter ‘O’ is crafted in the style of smartwatch activity rings, offering a personal reflection of my life as a young Singaporean. Each ring embodies a key value, from outer ring to inner ring: “Love,” a reminder to show kindness to those who shape us; “Contribution,” representing my commitment to mental health advocacy and uplifting the Malay-Muslim community; and the third ring, “Present,” encouraging us to embrace the here and now despite life’s pace. My Singapore dream is for us to stay closely connected as a community that uplifts and empowers, while also nurturing each person’s unique identity.
Pamela Tan
- Senior Staff Nurse, KK Woman's and Children's Hospital
My logo design weaves together the journey of life, starting with the stages of pregnancy and the cycle of growth in the “6.” The two colours blend to form lilac, showcasing the union of maternal and paternal genes in life creation. The mother’s heart rhythms are emphasised after the positive pregnancy test, as her foetus develops a heartbeat and special connection to her. The rhythm, too, depicts the highs and lows of the pregnancy journey. The “0” encapsulates a multi-racial couple cradling their newborn, the sprouting plant from their nurturing love representing their growing child. A healthcare professional waters it and supports the family. The red roof highlights protection and care from hospital to home. My Singapore dream is for every mother to be empowered in providing the best environment for themselves and their children to thrive and flourish together.

- Lead Volunteer, ItsRainingRaincoats
My design features migrant workers set against the backdrop of iconic Singapore landmarks such as HDB flats, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay. These elements pay homage to the essential role that migrant workers have played in shaping our nation’s infrastructure and landscape. I depicted the workers holding a spoon and an umbrella; the spoon symbolises the meals I have personally delivered as part of food distribution efforts, while the umbrella represents the charity organisation where I volunteer. These details reflect my own journey in volunteerism and my commitment to community service. My Singapore dream is for our country to remain an inclusive and welcoming home, growing ever stronger in humility, love, and compassion for all who contribute to our shared future.
Sam Lo
- Art Director of NDP 2025
My logo captures my vision of a progressive Singapore – one that embraces diversity, champions inclusivity, and supports its most vulnerable. Featuring distinct yet interconnected elements, it symbolises the nation’s many communities, each unique but essential to the whole. The bold colours and overlapping forms reflect a society where everyone is seen, valued, and empowered. Together, these elements form a vibrant tapestry that celebrates unity in difference. My Singapore dream is for the nation to be reminded that real progress is rooted in compassion, mutual respect, and equal opportunity for all. It’s both a tribute to what Singapore is and a call to build an even more empathetic and inclusive future.
Angel Ng
- Chief Operating Officer Connect Centre Group
My design is inspired by Singapore’s shared humanity and the belief in second chances. Prominently featured are a padlock and key, symbolising the freedom to unlock one’s potential and the trust and opportunities that empower individuals to move beyond their past. I included the image of a call centre agent with a headset and laptop to highlight meaningful work, connection, and perseverance. Speech bubbles and communication icons convey the importance of empathy, dialogue, and authentic human connection in building a supportive community. A raised fist ✊ with a yellow ribbon stands for second chances, reintegration, and personal transformation. Finally, the sunburst silhouette filled with diverse faces reflects a vibrant, hopeful community united by the promise of new beginnings. My Singapore dream is for our nation to become truly inclusive where every individual, regardless of their history, is supported to overcome adversity and empowered to thrive.

- Co-founder, Givfunds Head of Strategic Projects, FAR.AI
My logo design features a flourishing coral reef, serving as a vibrant metaphor for Singapore’s role in the world. I illustrated the reef’s intricate shapes and diverse marine life to highlight how, despite occupying less than 1% of the ocean, coral reefs sustain 25% of marine life, protect coastlines, and are crucial for nutrient recycling. Every organism, large or small, contributes to the ecosystem’s health, whether it’s a manta ray relying on tiny cleaner fish or coral polyps supporting countless species. I chose these elements to reflect Singapore’s experience as a small island nation facing complex global challenges like climate change, geopolitical shifts, and rapid technological change. Just as reefs thrive through unity and cooperation, Singapore’s resilience and continued success depend on collective effort and inclusivity. My Singapore dream is for our country to keep playing a vital role in shared prosperity, remaining strong and united through adversity, and ensuring everyone has a part in building a resilient and compassionate society.
Jamsairi Bin Kamaruddin
- Director, Kuo Chuan Arts and Cultural
My logo design features a dragon dance integrated into the letter ‘G’ and a lion dance within the letter ‘O’. These elements pay homage to Singapore’s rich cultural heritage, representing traditions first introduced in the 1930s that have become enduring symbols of our nation’s journey. Although I am Malay by race, I chose the dragon and lion dances to reflect the ongoing progress of Singapore, as both have contributed to our vibrant arts and cultural landscape. The lion dance, especially, highlights the values of inclusivity and teamwork, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate a cherished tradition. My Singapore dream is for our country to continue building a stronger, more united society, where everyone moves forward together, regardless of age, race, or religion.
Aaron Scott Donovan
- Social Worker, Fei Yue Community Services
My logo design incorporates a vibrant tapestry of Singapore life, with people from all walks of life, iconic landmarks, and everyday scenes woven into the motif. I chose to illustrate a diverse array of individuals alongside familiar sights like HDB flats, playgrounds, and our city skyline to reflect the many unique journeys that make up our nation. These elements highlight that success is not a single path, but a mosaic of passions, circumstances, and aspirations. My Singapore dream is for our community to embrace diverse definitions of success, empowering everyone to pursue their own goals whether in academics, the arts, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or living with integrity. In this society, every unique light adds to the brilliance of our collective shine.
Jason Chen
- Head of Department, Dunman High School / OneService Community Partner
My logo showcases students taking an active role in improving our living environment through community service. The hearts represent the various community partners my students collaborate with, each reflecting a different facet of service. Together with the Municipal Services Office (MSO), our students actively engage the community and tackle issues such as public cleanliness. Through simple yet meaningful gestures — a kind word, a listening ear, or lending a helping hand — our students learn that every action, no matter how small, contributes to a cleaner, more gracious and cohesive Singapore. My Singapore dream is to nurture youths who are empowered to make a positive difference in society, driven by empathy to serve with heart and purpose.
Chng Rui Jie
- Youngest Winner for President’s Volunteerism and Philanthropy Award
My design is inspired by what I believe defines Singapore today. It features four key elements: the concept of a garden city represented by flowers at the top, our rich food culture depicted through hawker tables at the centre, public housing and the spirit of community working together for a better future illustrated within the Letter ‘O’. Each aspect reflects the vibrancy and diversity that make me proud to be a Singaporean. I chose these elements to highlight the everyday things that shape our nation’s unique identity. My Singapore dream is to inspire people to appreciate what Singapore has to offer and to reflect on the small details that contribute to the country we know and love.
Maria Koh
- O’Joy Para Counsellor
The design features illustrations of the people I have worked with and befriended throughout my volunteer journey, each figure representing a unique story of shared purpose, commitment, and the joy of giving back. I chose to highlight these individuals to show how every volunteer, regardless of background, contributes to meaningful change in the communities we serve. The diverse figures symbolise the spirit of camaraderie and the lasting impact that collective action can have. My Singapore dream is to inspire every Singaporean to step forward and volunteer their time, skills, and heart for the community. Even the smallest acts of service can make a significant difference, helping to build a more compassionate, resilient, and united Singapore where no one is left behind.
Yip Pin Xiu
- Paralympic Gold Medalist
My design draws inspiration from my journey as a competitive swimmer, using the imagery of water and waves to symbolise Singapore’s progress as a nation. Swimming has taught me the importance of inclusivity, perseverance, and the strength found in community, lessons that resonate deeply with Singapore’s evolving spirit. Over the years, I’ve witnessed our society take meaningful steps toward embracing diversity and ensuring everyone is valued, regardless of ability or background. My Singapore dream is for our nation to grow as a truly inclusive society, where every individual feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. By uniting in mutual support and understanding, I believe we can overcome any challenge and ensure everyone has a place in Singapore’s story.
{Singaporean Paralympic swimmer, Yip Pin Xiu (born 10 January 1992) is a Singaporean backstroke swimmer. She is a six-time Paralympic gold medalist and four-time World Champion, with two world records in the 50 m backstroke S2 and the 100 m backstroke S2.}
David King Thorairajan
- Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker
My logo design features our national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, HDB flats, the famous durian, and a pigeon, all representing aspects of everyday life that are unique to Singapore’s character. These elements reflect what I love most about our nation. The use of vibrant colours, along with the pigeon and a person flying a kite, conveys a deeper message of hope and love—values I strongly believe should be at the heart of our society. My Singapore dream is for everyone to persevere through adversity and always hold on to hope, moving forward together with strength and unity.
Loh Kean Yew
- Badminton World Champion
My logo features a World Champion gold medal, symbolising the heights Singapore can achieve when we dare to dream big. I chose this imagery to reflect how, despite being a small country with limited human capital and resources, Singapore has never stopped pursuing her aspirations or discouraged her people from aiming high. The gold medal stands as a testament to the power of self-belief and the courage to pursue bold ambitions. My Singapore dream is for our nation to remain the brightest red dot on the world map, continually inspiring and empowering her people with the support they need to chase their dreams and turn them into reality, no matter the challenges ahead.
Suriani Soo
- Special Olympics Singapore Volunteer Coach
My logo features drawings of a vibrant sporting culture, showcasing athletes of diverse abilities and a variety of sports equipment. The illustrations of para-athletes in action, surrounded by yellow stars, symbolise Singapore’s commitment to inclusivity and excellence in sports. The collection of sports symbols and the Singapore flag represent unity, national pride, and the celebration of our nation’s sporting achievements. I chose these elements to reflect our belief that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves the chance to grow, compete, and be celebrated on the world stage. My Singapore dream is for our country to one day host the Paralympic and Special Olympics World Games, setting a global example of inclusion, hope, and the power of community.
Norliza Bte Miswan
- Trainee in MINDS
My logo showcases some of Singapore’s most iconic landmarks, such as Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion, and the Singapore Flyer. Each represents more than just buildings or attractions, they embody our history, achievements, and collective identity. Through these landmarks, I wanted to remind the world that even a small red dot like Singapore can stand tall on the global stage, telling a story of transformation from humble beginnings to a thriving, world-class nation. My Singapore dream is to see even more iconic landmarks rise in the years ahead, each reflecting our unique culture, innovation, and spirit. I hope these symbols will inspire future generations to take pride in our nation and continue building a legacy together.
Carrie Tan
- Social Entrepreneur & Transformation Coach, Lightbearers Collective
Singapore is often seen as a miracle nation that has grown rapidly, symbolised by the unicorn in my logo and surrounded by a kaleidoscope of flowers to represent the Chinese saying, “let a hundred flowers bloom.”* Through my design, I hope to convey hope, inspiration, uplift, and joy, reminding everyone that Singapore must remain an inclusive nation where people and talents of all kinds have the space to blossom. This diversity is the magic and growth that has made Singapore what it is today. My Singapore dream is for our nation to keep breaking boundaries and boldly painting our aspirations beyond convention, ensuring that diversity and innovation continue to drive our progress.

Mohamed Salih Shaik Dawood
- Deputy Rescue Rota Commander, Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team, SCDF
Through this logo, I hope to inspire confidence and assurance in all who see it. It serves as a reminder that trained professionals and essential resources stand ready to respond to emergencies across our nation. The use of red reflects the spirit of our emergency services — urgency, courage, and dedication. In contrast, blue conveys trust, stability, and calm — qualities that are vital in any emergency. Guided by the theme of Protection, Hope, and Unity, this logo seeks to foster a strong sense of shared responsibility and to empower every individual to step forward and make a difference, especially when lives are at stake. My Singapore dream is to nurture a nation of lifesavers — a resilient community where people are not only prepared, but also willing to support one another in times of need, including during everyday emergencies.
Jayden Sim
- OneService Community Volunteer
I designed this logo to inspire everyone to contribute to making Singapore greener and cleaner, even in small ways. When I was 9 years old, I started a project to recycle cloth pegs. I remember watching a video of a turtle getting hurt by a straw stuck in its nostril. It made me sad and that’s why I joined community clean-up projects like Stridy. I drew native animals, trees, and familiar places in Singapore because they illustrate how people and nature are interconnected. My Singapore dream is for us always to stay clean, green, and full of life! I believe that if all of us — kids and adults work together, we can protect the environment and make it better. Every little action counts, and together, we can keep our Singapore Home a beautiful place for everyone, including the flora and fauna that live here.

The thumbprints symbolise identity, individuality, and legacy, and remind us that every citizen has a unique part to play in building our nation. I wanted my design to pay tribute to the countless hands, from the government to the community to each and every individual Singaporean, that shaped Singapore’s success. The heart brings out the values of unity, collaboration, and mutual support, showing how collective effort can uplift a society. My Singapore dream is for our nation to continue sharing perspectives openly, with trust and respect, even when we disagree. I believe meaningful dialogue thrives not on agreement but on understanding, ensuring that every voice is valued and every contribution counts will help us move forward together, stronger and more united.
Ang Peng Siong
- Singapore Swimming Legend*
Inspired by Singapore’s identity as an island nation, my logo features waves encircling the island, symbolising both serenity and the challenges we face. I chose this design to reflect how Singaporeans continually navigate the calm and storms of life, drawing strength from our shared resilience and determination. I also envision a future where every Singaporean is empowered, much like a swimmer, to face challenges head-on, supported by unity and pride. My aspiration is that sports become a core part of our national identity, instilling pride, unity, and a drive to excel. Though our island may be small, our ambitions are vast, and together, we move forward with the Lion City’s spirit in our hearts, always reaching for greater heights.
* Ang Peng Siong (Chinese: 洪秉祥; pinyin: Hóng Bǐngxiáng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Âng Píng-siông; born 27 October 1962 in Singapore) is a swimmer from Singapore, who once held World Number 1 ranking in the 50 m freestyle. Ang was ranked fifth in a list of Singapore's 50 Greatest Athletes of the Century by The Straits Times in 1999.
Sun Yimei
- Trainee in MINDS
My logo features the iconic Merlion at its centre, symbolising my connection to the nation, our heritage, and our identity. I chose the Merlion to honour both our past and present, reflecting my hope that Singapore will continue to thrive in every way – economically, socially, and culturally. I am passionate about sports and will be participating in the upcoming Special Olympics 2025. This also inspired me to include elements of sports to embody the spirit of resilience and teamwork. My Singapore dream is to keep striving for excellence and be part of a society that celebrates diversity. I envision a future where every individual, regardless of ability, is empowered to achieve their full potential in a prosperous and inclusive Singapore.
Francesca Phoebe Wah
- Founder of Bringing Love to Every Single Soul (BLESS)
At the heart of my logo is a bridge fused with a heartbeat rhythm flowing between the “6” and “0,” serving as a quiet yet powerful reminder that our pioneers’ sacrifices continue to pulse through Singapore today. The “6” honours these pioneers, whose efforts in education, housing, infrastructure and healthcare laid our foundation. The heartbeat beginning at the “6” symbolises how pioneers set aside their personal interests to move in sync with the nation’s needs. The bridge carries us from the past to the future, and at the other end, our future is envisioned as one built on unity, innovation, sustainability, digital advancement. My Singapore dream is that every citizen keeps this heartbeat alive by putting Singapore first and building a future together.
Tengku Mohamed Boestaman
- Duty Operations Manager, SBS Transit
My NDP logo design captures the vibrant journey of how Singapore's public transport has evolved through the decades. It showcases our buses and trains set against the familiar landmarks of our city, reflecting how far we've come together as a nation over the past 60 years.
I've also chosen to feature our public transport workers — the unsung heroes whose dedication keep Singapore moving every day, rain or shine. By portraying our frontliners of different genders and races, I wanted to celebrate the multi-racial and multicultural society we live in, and the unity at the heart of our Singapore spirit.
My dream for Singapore is for public transport to be more resilient, accessible, and sustainable, so that everyone can continue to travel confidently and be part of this connected and thriving community.
Neyati Umamaheswar
- Founder of Minds Untangled
Through my logo, I aim to show both how far Singapore has come and the promising possibilities ahead, especially in how Singaporeans care for one another. My design features a brain and many hands coming together in support, trust, and unity. The brain represents a future-focused Singapore that values both intellect and emotion, reminding us that mental health touches everyone and that we grow stronger by embracing all aspects of ourselves. The stars symbolise our national pride and the aspirations of our youth, who carry tomorrow’s dreams. The hands united as one reflect my hope for a more compassionate society where everyone uplifts each other. My Singapore dream is for our nation to thrive through continuous growth, guided by open minds and courageous hearts, united in our diversity.
