The 79th Indonesia’s Independence Day


A few days ago, Indonesia passed a proud day, namely the 79th Independence Day on Saturday (17/08/2024). Independence is a day where we as citizens celebrate the success of the struggle of the heroes who freed the country from colonialism. The celebrations held after independence are certainly varied, holding competitions, making various kinds of works, flying the red and white flag, etc. This will certainly establish social norms and build tolerance between fellow human beings.


The Indonesian government certainly also has its own way of celebrating Independence Day, one of which is by releasing a number logo long before the day. Every year the logo of Indonesia's independence age always changes with a unique design and various meanings. 

Themed "Nusantara Baru, Indonesia Maju” here is the meaning of the design of the 79th Indonesian Independence Day logo:


  1. Archipelago State

The number 79 is formed from several parts which are a single unit and related, depicting Indonesia as an archipelagic country.

  1. Green Economy

The branch and leaf shape of the number 9 represents the principle of national development based on a green economy, in synergy with nature and always paying attention to cultural roots and identity.
