Hanura Changes Logo to Lion Head, Here Is Its Meaning
The Hanura Party has replaced its party logo with an image of a lion’s face. Hanura Party Secretary-General Benny Rhamdani explained the meaning behind the new logo.
Based on an image seen by detikcom on Wednesday (26/8/2026), the Hanura Party has now changed its logo. A lion’s face is visible with Hanura’s distinctive orange colour scheme.
Benny Rhamdani then explained the new logo. He stressed that changing a party logo is a common occurrence.
“Changing a party logo is a normal thing that has also been done by political parties in Indonesia,” said Benny when contacted for confirmation.
He asserted that what the Hanura Party has done is not merely changing an image, colour, or visual identity. According to him, there is another meaning behind it.
“This is part of the Hanura Party’s transformation process to face changing times, changing voter characteristics, and the political challenges facing Indonesia going forward, without abandoning the fundamental values that have been the soul of the political party’s struggle from the outset, rooted in conscience,” he said.
He stressed that the Hanura Party does not want to become a political party that only comes alive ahead of elections. He assured that his party will continue to renew its way of working, its way of communicating, its way of being present among the public, and its way of translating its ideology so that it remains relevant to the times.
“Therefore, the logo change is an outward symbol of a larger change within the Hanura Party: organisational renewal, cadre strengthening, modernisation of the political system, data-based consolidation, and a reaffirmation of its alignment with the people and the regions,” he said.
He then explained the lion’s head symbol that is now the party’s main logo. According to him, the lion represents courage and leadership.
“The lion’s head identity is a symbol of courage, steadfastness, fighting spirit, leadership, the courage to take a stance, and protection of every aspiration of the people and the will of the regions,” he explained.
“For the Hanura Party, political courage is not merely the courage to hold power. Courage must be realised in taking sides: the courage to defend the people when their interests are marginalised, the courage to fight for the regions when development is overly centralised, the courage to correct those in power when they drift from the people’s interests, and the courage to keep Indonesia a just country for all regions and all its citizens,” he continued.
He said the current Hanura symbol carries a message of siding with the regions. He said Indonesia consists of diverse islands and cultures.
“We believe Indonesia will not be strong if its regions are weak. This republic was built not only from Jakarta, but from villages, sub-districts, regencies, cities, provinces, outermost islands, border areas, and the millions of people who live and work far from the centre of power. Strengthening the regions means strengthening the Republic of Indonesia,” he added.
Furthermore, Benny stressed that changing the logo does not mean abandoning Hanura’s history. However, he believes the logo change will make his party stronger.
“On the contrary, we are bringing the values we believe to be true into a political language that is stronger and more relevant for today’s generation. Conscience remains the soul of Hanura. What has changed is the energy, expression, way of moving, and the way we present that struggle to the people,” he continued.
He asserted that Hanura is entering a new phase with a more modern organisation, more disciplined cadres, closer to the people, bolder in voicing regional interests, and clearer in its political position.
“So if asked why Hanura changed its logo, the answer is simple: because we are renewing the face of the struggle, not replacing the soul of the struggle,” he said.
