About the APAA 2024 Logo
The APAA 2024 logo draws inspiration from the captivating Ibong Adarna, a mythical bird revered in Filipino folklore. This enchanting creature, renowned for its seven-colored, ornate tail feathers, embodies the spirit of APAA’s member countries. Each vibrant color represents a unique nation, united in shared pursuit of progress and collaboration.
Like the Ibong Adarna’s transformation with each melodious song, the logo symbolizes the potential for growth and positive change within the APAA community. The downward-facing wings, positioned mid-flight, further emphasize the collective power and momentum of the member countries soaring towards a brighter future.
The design itself is a beautiful tapestry. The intricate patterns on the Ibong Adarna’s body are reminiscent of wheat grains, representing prosperity and abundance. The wordmark is woven in the style of the traditional Saputangan Tapestry Weave by Yakan weavers, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines and the importance of collaboration in creating something truly special.
