12 inspired suggestions for the 2019 SEA Games logo from netizens
The minimalist 2019 SEA Games logo has been taking a beating on social media, but the flip side of it is that Filipino artists are volunteering their services to re-do the logo.
They have been posting their suggestions on social media, and you know what? There's a tremendous amount of great art ready for picking — should the organizers choose to avail the offer.
Below are some of their designs:
1. Hooray, Baybayin!
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
3. How about one based on the Philippine Eagle?
My version of SEA GAMES LOGO

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
4. Or a minimalist eagle?

5. This one is inspired by the sipa:
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

6. Below is based on the tamaraw and the carabao:
Since someone asked me if I have my own take sa #SEAGames2019 logo, Ito yung ginawa ko. Inspired by their tagline "We win as one".

For the mascot, I used the Carabao and Tamaraw to represent strength and athleticism. And to raise awareness on both animals pic.twitter.com/rFW76fFBJu
7. Here's another inspired by the carabao:
Wasn't a fan of the official SEA Games 2019 logo and I saw the different logos made, and decided to join in.

Made mine differently by putting the beast of burden, the Philippine Water Buffalo/ Carabao, showing brute strength and hardwork. #SEAGames2019 pic.twitter.com/OL1tplkIUj
8. One that communicated soaring higher and better:
Here is my proposal logo for #SEAGames2019 because we must soar higher and better.#SEAGames#Philippines2019#Minimalist #Design pic.twitter.com/GVkYnD6XgS

9. According to the artist, this one is made out of sheer boredom:
It's now already used in an unofficial FB page of the 30th SEA Games with my permission. ???? I used Clark in the meantime to promote the new city in the entire ASEAN region and to the world. pic.twitter.com/XrOl27VNZq

10. How do you like this?
Philippines' 30th SEA Games logo looks very cheap. Wag kayo magalala, sa NOV 30 pa iaannounce ang totoong magiging itsura ng logo. For the mean time, may gnawa akong sarili kong version. Baka makatulong maging inspiration.#30THSEAGAMES #Philippines2019 #SEAGames2019 #DFA #Logo pic.twitter.com/s2KWw3t2sR

11. We adore this one, inspired by the vinta:
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

12. Beautiful take, based on the bahay kubo:
My Version of Sea Games Logo.
— Isiah Johnson Obera (@oberaij) August 21, 2018
Bahay Kubo w/ 3 Stars and a Sun
Bahay kubo symbolizes unity, respect and love and that depicts us as a Pilipino. The 3 legs(In equal running form) depicts competition, 11 circles/countries. #SEAGames2019 #SEAGames #BahayKubo #Philippines2019 pic.twitter.com/nDtc07doPF
The current logo is an abstraction of the map of the Philippine archipelago using 11 circles, meant to represent the participating nations.
The overlapping rings, Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano explained, show that "wherever and whenever the games are played, we are one and we win as one." — Aya Tantiangco/LA, GMA News
