Graphic designers reimagine 2019 SEA Games logo
MANILA, Philippines — Filipino netizens were quick to react as Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano presented the Philippines' logo for its hosting of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.
The Philippines' top diplomat presented the logo during the 37th Olympic Council of Asia General Assembly in Jakarta, Indonesia last Sunday.
"Our logo will be the 11 circles representing the 11 countries bound together in the shape of the Philippines to symbolize that wherever and whenever the games are played, we are one and we win as one," Cayetano said.
Netizens, however, were not pleased with the logo, as well as the mascot designs, and came up with their own proposals.
There are so many ways you can do a logo. Without going out of concept & color, here you go Philippines.

Did this in less than 15 minutes. The official one looks like we didn’t even try to put effort. Shame. pic.twitter.com/P8z66Gc89j
Philippine SEA Games organizer, this logo is better. The Games will be on the first week of December next year. This is about the Pampanga parol, a symbol of celebration. See, if this will be used, perhaps some attendees will buy and bring them to their home countries. Think! pic.twitter.com/anEDbk7gDn

So the SEA Games (South East Asian Games) 2019 Logo has been officially released and unfortunately it gets mixed reactions online. Therefore, this is what I came up with.#SEAGames2019 #Philippines2019 #SeaGames #Sipa #LaroNgLahi #LarongPinoyToTheWorld #TeamPhilippines pic.twitter.com/sYCkYlfPje

So here’s my take on the 30th SEA Games’ logo. I call it, “The Vinta’s Flame.” This logo draws inspiration from two things; a vinta, a traditional Filipino boat from Mindanao; and the SEA Games Flame/Cauldron which is lit the entire duration of the games. #SEAGames2019 pic.twitter.com/Dkr1YyeMbj

My version of SEA GAMES LOGO
— Kendrick Lamarr (@kvpingkian) August 21, 2018
Blazing Philippine Eagle
The eagle symbolizes strength & power. It has10 feathers representing the 10 countries participating in the event & the head symbolizes the host country. Blaze, symbolizes fire a start of something. #SEAGames2019 pic.twitter.com/gd9YWsL8IA
My own take of SEA GAMES LOGO
— K L I N E (@klpotente) August 21, 2018
Pearl of the Orient Sea inspired.
I used the sun rays of our Philippines flag to represent purity, sportsmanship, integrity plus dignity and calm of the south sea pearl or the Philippine Pearl. #SEAGames2019 pic.twitter.com/bii8JtRitV
Netizens have also been comparing previous SEA Games logo to the Philippines' proposed design for next year.
The last three SEA Games logos vs. the proposed one for next year.
