the symbols
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"
;)

I bet you if you ask ppl on the street what is our Merdeka theme this year they would still answer "Keranamu Malaysia"...becoz no one really bothered to know abt the theme..sad kan?
raser cam nak nyanyi lau sudirman la plak...:)
very interesting post..knowledgable indeed...
cosmic -
probably you are right
let alone, i think people nowadays
are more towards the celebration parties
not really into the spirit of merdeka itself
uglybutadoreable -
"mari kita seluruh warga negara
ramai-ramai menyambut hari merdeka, merdeka!"
- sudirman's
I still remember 'Berdisiplin Giat Maju' and 'Bersatu' songs! The songs must have stayed in my 'cache' and refused to be flushed out.
I also predict the same themes for 2008 and 2009. Hey, save a lot of $$$ to just reuse existing ideas, ok. The logo will probably change a bit lah.
