Theme & Logo

Theme

The theme for NDP 2021 is “Together, Our Singapore Spirit”.

‘Together’ evokes our common Singapore identity and Singaporeans coming together as one united people.

‘Our Singapore Spirit’ calls on Singaporeans to draw new strength from our “can-do” spirit amidst challenging circumstances from COVID-19 and potential disruptions in the new decade. We look to reinvigorate the Singapore Spirit - encouraging Singaporeans to embrace a “dare-to-try” attitude, and reinvent to overturn our natural and geographical constraints.

Logo - Lion’s Courage

The lion head logo represents our nation’s strength of will and unity. The five bold strokes of the logo symbolise the ideals depicted in the five stars of our National Flag: Democracy, Peace, Progress, Justice and Equality. These form the core of our Singaporean identity. The number “56” is embedded in the logo design, to recognise our 56th year of independence.

The NDP 2021 Logo is inspired by the Lion Head Symbol, which was introduced in 1986 to express loyalty and commitment to the nation. We hope that the lion’s courage and strength will spur our nation on as we overcome COVID-19, progress into the new normal, and build our shared future together as one united people. This is what it means to come together and demonstrate our Singapore Spirit.

The NDP 2021 Logo was conceptualised by Nanyang Polytechnic student Tan Yun Xin, and further developed into the brand direction and identity by BLACK Design Pte Ltd.
