The public now has the opportunity to directly determine the official\nlogo for the 81st Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia. For the\nfirst time, the government has opened a space for public participation\nin selecting the visual identity for the independence celebration\nthrough a national polling mechanism.<\/p>\n
Voting is conducted online via the official website\nlogohutri.istanapresiden.go.id from 24 to 28 June 2026. Through this\nchannel, the public can choose one of five top logo designs that have\npassed a professional curation and selection process.<\/p>\n
Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya stated that the five\ndesigns put to a public vote were filtered from a national competition\nentered by 124 participants from various regions in Indonesia. From\nhundreds of submissions, a curatorial team selected five finalist\ndesigners to proceed to the public voting stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year marks a new milestone in determining the HUT RI logo. For\nthe first time, under the direction of the President, the public is\nactively involved in choosing the logo through a public polling\nmechanism from 24-28 June 2026,\u201d Teuku said during a press conference at\nthe Presidential Office on Wednesday (24\/6).<\/p>\n
According to Teuku, the HUT RI logo is not merely a graphic element\nused in various independence commemoration activities. The logo is a\nnational symbol present in the public sphere and represents the shared\nidentity of all Indonesian people.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the government considers public involvement crucial in\ndetermining the design that will be used nationally. Public\nparticipation is seen as a way to strengthen the sense of ownership over\nthe national symbol, while ensuring the chosen logo truly represents the\npeople\u2019s aspirations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis public involvement is important as a space for national\nparticipation that will build a sense of ownership, so that the selected\nlogo truly becomes a symbol of pride for all Indonesian people,\u201d Teuku\nsaid.<\/p>\n
During the selection process, the Ministry of Creative Economy\ncollaborated with the Indonesian Graphic Designers Association (ADGI) to\nensure the submitted designs met professional standards. The assessment\nconsidered not only visual aspects but also the strength of the\nnarrative and its relevance to the national spirit intended to be\nconveyed.<\/p>\n
Through this mechanism, the public is not just a user of the HUT RI\nlogo but also participates in determining the symbol that will colour\nthe 81st Indonesian independence commemoration. The government\nencourages the public to exercise their voting rights during the polling\nperiod to choose the logo deemed most representative of Indonesia\u2019s\nfuture spirit.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/public-voting-for-81st-indonesian-independence-day-logo-closes-in-four-days-1782298264", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
