Total Defence Logo
The five arrows in the logo symbolise the five aspects of Total Defence: Military, Civil, Economic, Social and Psychological Defence.
The arrows point in the same upward direction. This signifies mutual effort towards a common goal : safeguarding the progress and future of Singapore.
The logo's outline is significant for two reasons:
Firstly, the outline of a hand, representing action, unity and completeness.
Total Defence is incomplete if any of the five "fingers" is missing.
Secondly, the logo is in the shape of a house. This signifys Singapore as our homeland.
With Total Defence, the security of our homeland is therefore safeguarded.
The crescent, five stars and the colours of red and white, are elements from the National Flag. They represent nationhood. Total Defence brings Singaporeans together as one people and one nation.
Taken as a whole, the logo shows how all Singaporeans are doing what they can in Total Defence. So as to ensure peace and security for the future.
