ASEAN consists of ten ASEAN Member States (AMS), namely Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. ASEAN is a region of diverse cultures and backgrounds, but AMS share a common interest in promoting peace, stability and security in our region, for the benefit of our peoples.
The 2018 ASEAN Chairmanship logo embodies that spirit. Its modern, stylised design was formed by connecting respective AMS capitals. The links signify the collective resilience of an inter-connected ASEAN in pursuit of a common purpose.
The logo’s pink and lavender colours are a mix of red, blue, and white. Red symbolises strength and equality, blue represents trust and stability, while white is a symbol of peace. Combining these colours demonstrates ASEAN’s unity and innovativeness. In addition, lavender is commonly associated with dignity, passion and vitality, representing a dynamic, innovative and vibrant ASEAN Community.
