PEWOG Logo Description

Conceptualised by Dato' Dr. Ong Hean Tee, Chairman of PEWOG, the Penang Environment Working Group, Penang, Malaysia, on 13th May 2004, and drawn by Mr. Lee Chea Hin, the logo was approved by the Penang Environment Working Group on May 25th 2004.

The logo reflects the natural environment of Penang in particular and the World in general.

The white background in the top half represents clean air and the sky and a clean and bright future for Penang.

The three green palms of different sizes represent the living things of the world, their differences and similarities and the harmony and accommodation necessary to sustain life and the environment.

The yellow strip represents land and the richness of Mother Earth.

The blue waves represent water and the waterways and the importance of clean water in our living environment.

The white sky, the yellow land, the blue water and the green living things make up the natural environment of Penang and the World.

The yellow strip also represents the Penang Bridge, bridging the two parts of Penang's mainland Seberang Perai (palms) on one side and Penang Island (sea) on the other side.
