About the logo

The Philippine Space Week logo depicts "biyahe" or journey. It is inspired by the iconic signboards displayed on windshields of jeepneys and other public conveyance that indicate routes and destinations. Hand painted by local crafters, these iconographies are a staple in Filipino society and culture.

For commuters, the signboards serve as a guide. Lost in the busy streets of the Metro? Simply look for the route you're familiar with so you can continue your journey. Unfamiliar with provincial places as a tourist? Check out the signboard to see if the vehicle is heading to your destination and you're all set!

Like these signboards, satellites orbiting in space guide and enable us, whether it's for navigation, communication, or observing our planet.

This includes space-related visuals such as circles to represent various heavenly bodies, a satellite, stars, a rocket takeoff, and an orbit. Colors are drawn from the Philippine flag with the black background to denote the vastness of space.

The Philippine Space Week logo thus serves as a call for Filipinos everywhere to come together and get onboard the collective journey of building a space-capable and spacefaring nation that harnesses #YamangKalawakan, towards the common destination of a nation bridged, uplifted and empowered through the peaceful uses of outer space.
