Buku Pelancaran Rasmi


Biperoh Offical Launching Book Cover Design

The Official Launching book is designed as an 8 by 8 inches as a unique and historic publication. It symbolises our need to be different, manageable yet agile.

Black is a mature colour. It is also a result of mixing many colours - depicting a mix of many different characters and experiences within the Biperoh community. The black background provides a contrasting lines to the logo symbolises the need for Biperoh to stay focus and clear for our causes and objectives.

Longhouse painting as part of the background reminds us of our legacy of humble beginnings and solidarity. Red and yellow burst of colours thrusting upwards underline our direction to face future challenges. Red reflects our bravery, white reflects our sincerity and yellow reflects our loyalty to our leaders, community and nation as in our Slogan: One Biperoh, One Semangat and One Tujuan.

Flag design rationale

Sample one - Logo is placed slightly on the left designed to be visible when on a pole.
