The U.S.-ASEAN Center logo draws inspiration from the iconic ASEAN handshake, symbolizing unity, centrality, and shared purpose among ASEAN member states. 

The interwoven design reflects the spirit of collaboration and the deepening Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between ASEAN and the United States. The color palette—blue, red, and gold—blends the traditional hues of both ASEAN and the United States, representing our enduring relationship based on shared principles and our ongoing work to advance a free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and prosperous.
