NDP 99 Logo RationaleNDP 99 Logo Rationale
The key feature of the logo is a human figure twirling a ribbon with the crescent moon and 5 stars, symbolic of the national flag. It represents the central theme of NDP 99 -- "OUR PEOPLE". The figure is in forward exulting motion and in celebratory mood. The ribbon forms a heart-shape, and the number "99" marking the concluding NDP of the millennium.
The human figure symbolises the unity of "Our People" in a single Singapore identity -- as "One People, One Nation, One Singapore". The ribbon in motion forms a heart, symbolising the unity of Our People in the Singapore Heartbeat -- 3 million hearts pulsating as one. The heart also represents the Singapore "heartwave" that we are enriching as we move into the next millennium.
