In graphics design, this logo is classified as combination mark in that it fuses an icon and some text (or wordmark) into a visual beacon. At first glance, it appears to be a cube suspended in mid-air but the two white, parallel lines running across it vertically as though overlaid give it a distinct Escher-esque aesthetic to the entire design – which is meant to stress the uniqueness of the SEC as a public sector institution in our country. | |
When seen from a distance, however, this logo is actually an elongated hexagon – the six sides of which represent the core values of the SEC, viz: integrity, professionalism, accountability, independence, initiative, and teamwork. Its shape imbues it with timeless integrity and allows it to exude elegant simplicity. | |
When seen up close, on the other hand, this logo features silhouettes of three rising buildings representing the corporations (left), the SEC (middle), and the investors (right) all of which are sitting atop a perfectly chiseled diamond serving as the bedrock of stability, reliability, and strength; and whose four sides correspond to the people that make up the agency working together towards the achievement of its mission and its vision, viz: the leadership, the management, the technical specialists, and the support staff; the image of these buildings connotes the national economic development goal to which the agency is mandated to contribute by way of its three critical roles, viz: corporate registrar, corporate regulator, and champion of investor protection. | |
That green is the color of choice for this logo is meant to convey associations with life, growth, prosperity, and the use of three varying shades thereof that blend well together is a way of paying homage to the Philippine flag whose three major colors converge on a common vertex. | |

• | Gold Bars – The two bars on both sides are shaped as gold bars denoting wealth and prosperity, which are important facets of the market it encompasses. |
