over the 50 years
among the many Logo and Tema
for Hari Kebangsaan
some of them were really good and cool
some were inspiring and memorable
some were so-so, some were "nehhh.. whatever"
for me personally.. out of the many
Tema yang paling 'lousy' were the following;
Bersatu

Bersatu

Berjaya

why i said it was lousy?
well.. kebanyakan Tema Sambutan Merdeka
would always be longer that only one word
and these words should have gave more impact and ummmpphhh!
as when they were used together with other words
like the following;
Bersatu Berdisiplin

Setia Bersatu Berusaha Maju

Bersatu Menuju Wawasan

Bersatu Ke Alaf Baru

some other words that were 'recycled'
for the Merdeka themes are; Berdisplin, Budaya and Wawasan
Bersatu Berdisplin

Berdisplin Berharmoni

Berdisplin Giat Maju

Kebudayaan Sendi Perpaduan

Budaya Penentu Kecapaian

Wawasan 2020

Wawasan Asas Kemajuan

Bersatu Menuju Wawasan

Nilai Murni Jayakan Wawasan

Jatidiri Pengerak Wawasan

for the rest, it was so-so
neither bad nor good
some were longer, not simple nor catchy
but certainly made you 'think twice'
Ketahanan Rakyat

Bersama Ke Arah Kemajuan

Amanah Asas Kejayaan

Nasionalisme Teras Perpaduan

Bangsa Tegas Negara Teguh

Akhlak Mulia Masyarakat Jaya

Negara Kita Tanggungjawab Kita

the 'winner' for the worst Logo
i would have to give to this one;

the theme was sweet - Bersatu Maju
just the logo - the design was weird
and definitely different from all the rest
don't you think so?
anyway..
my favourite Tema and Logo
undisputedly, will have to be this one

otherwise, it would not be used again and again
for tahun 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006
the theme "Keranamu Malaysia"
really inspiring and says it all
and was wonderfully paired with the logo
that resembles 'a man lifting up against the weight'
nevertheless..
this year theme and logo

definitely something different
and about time to replace
that 7 years old logo
:)
"Malaysiaku Gemilang"
and i've predicted that for next year
probably it would be "Malaysiaku Cemerlang"
and then "Malaysiaku Terbilang"
;)
