The emblem of Nusantara (Indonesian: Lambang Ibu Kota Nusantara) is the official emblem of the planned capital city of Indonesia, Nusantara. The emblem is themed the "Tree of Life of the Archipelago" (Indonesian: Pohon Hayat Nusantara) which is inspired by the symbolism of trees from the west to the east of Indonesia—the source of life as well as abundant natural wealth. The tree of life motif can be found in various cultures of Indonesia such as gunungan in Javanese puppetry, kalpataru motifs in various temples such as Borobudur and Pawon, Batang Garing of the Dayak people of Kalimantan, La Galigo literature of the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, to the pattern on the shield of the Asmat people of Papua.[1][2][3]
Font
The emblem of Nusantara consists of the following elements:[1][2]
- Five roots symbolises the national ideology, Pancasila.
- Seven trunks symbolises the seven major island groups of Indonesia. The shape of the stream symbolises a maritime society that considers the sea and rivers as a link.
- A sphere with 17 blooming flowers symbolises eternal independence—17th of August being the date of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence.
The logotype "Nusantara" uses the "IKN Sutasoma" font inspired by Pallava script found on Yūpa inscription in Kutai, East Kalimantan, and is one of the oldest scripts in Southeast Asia.[1][2]
