For August 17th celebration committees at the corporate (SOE/Private) or government agency level, producing committee uniforms is not just a matter of choosing cool fabric. The t-shirts you wear carry the visual identity of the state in the form of the official Republic of Indonesia Anniversary (HUT RI) logo.

In this year 2026, for the 81st independence celebration, the Ministry of State Secretariat has published a Visual Identity Guidelines Book detailing the procedures for using the state logo. Placing a state logo on apparel media cannot be done carelessly. Design application errors, no matter how small, can be considered disrespectful to state symbols and damage your institution's professional image.

To ensure your committee uniforms and fun walk event merchandise do not violate the rules, pay attention to the following technical guide for screen printing the 81st RI Anniversary logo!

Mandatory Color Palette Specifications

The 81st RI Anniversary logo is designed with a clean and strong color concept. When designing for print, ensure your graphic designer locks in these color codes (do not use a color picker randomly):

  • Solid Red (Primary):

    • CMYK: 0, 100, 100, 0

    • RGB: 255, 0, 0

    • HEX: #FF0000

  • White (Secondary):

    • CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 0

    • RGB: 255, 255, 255

    • HEX: #FFFFFF

  • Black (Specifically for Light Backgrounds/Optional):

    • CMYK: 0, 0, 0, 100

    • RGB: 35, 31, 32

    • HEX: #231F20

Placement Rule: If your t-shirt's base color is white or another light color, use the Red Logo. If the t-shirt's base color is dark (black, navy, maroon), use the White (Negative) Logo.

Clear Space and Proportional Sizing

State logos must not be "crowded" by other design ornaments (such as sponsor logos or event typography).

  • Clear Space: Provide a minimum empty space equal to the height of the letter "I" (in the text "Indonesia") around the main logo. This distance ensures the logo remains a commanding centerpiece.

  • Scaling Distortion: When adjusting the design size for printing, you must drag the image corners proportionally (hold Shift while dragging in design software). Stretching the logo only from one top/bottom/side will make the shape of the number "81" distorted.

Strict Don'ts on Screen Print Designs

Here are things that are strictly forbidden to do to the 81st RI Anniversary logo, especially when applied to clothing:

  1. Do Not Alter Text Proportions: Do not separate the number "81" from supporting text (like the theme text) or change the official layout arrangements provided by the ministry.

  2. Do Not Add Visual Effects: Do not ask the printing vendor to add Outline effects, Drop Shadows, neon/glow effects, or 3D embossed textures to the logo. The logo must be strictly 2D (flat).

  3. Do Not Use Opacity: The logo must be printed solid (100% opacity). It is forbidden to make it transparent (watermark) and overlay it on top of scenery images or busy patterns.

💡 Abendio Production Insight: Printing a state-scale logo requires absolute color accuracy. Do not use cheap Rubber screen printing methods because the colors tend to degrade (red becomes faded/dull). Use DTF (Direct Transfer Film) Printing technology where color calibration is computer-controlled, so the HEX code #FF0000 will be printed blood-red exactly like the official guidelines from the State Secretariat!
