The design retains the colors of the nation flag, but replaces last year’s painted texture with a square grid forming the Double Ten symbol, with blue tones on the left, red tones on the right and gradient colors throughout.
Below the logo in Chinese is “Happy Birthday, Republic of China” and the national flag like last year and in 2024, followed by the English slogan “Taiwan Together as One.”
The English slogan the previous two years was “A Beautiful Taiwan Today, A Better Taiwan Tomorrow.”
Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) has served as chairman of the National Day Preparatory Committee since 2024.
The National Day visuals used in 2024, last year and this year have all featured the blue, white and red colors of the national flag on a white background.
The committee also posted a notice that the raffle to attend this year’s celebrations at the Presidential Office in Taipei on Oct. 10 would be open from 10am on Thursday to midnight on Thursday next week.
Five hundred citizens aged 18 or older would be selected to attend, and would receive National Day souvenirs.
