The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one of 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 stability,yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are conducted . When ASEAN celebrated its 30 Anniversary in 1997 , the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten-representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all them.
