Our brand materials

Our logo symbolises the journey of collective action toward democratic futures. The circular orange emblem is designed as a flowing path – “Jalan” in many Southeast Asian languages – reflecting our mission to create inclusive civic spaces where communities can walk together. The curved form suggests movement, continuity, and progress, while its openness represents dialogue, adaptability, and interconnectedness. The abstract path also echoes the idea of a hand extended in trust, reminding us that solidarity and collaboration are at the core of civic empowerment.

The colour palette combines orange and black to convey both dynamism and stability. Orange, with its vibrancy and warmth, symbolises energy, creativity, and optimism. Balanced by the black wordmark, which represents strength, clarity, and commitment, the palette anchors this vitality with stability and seriousness, underscoring our dedication to building resilient democratic futures.
