The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding member Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border Brown stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are conducted When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary
