Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Mohamad Sabu said he was indifferent to the choice of logo for the Pakatan Harapan coalition.

He said that criticisms of the logos that have been proposed thus far was normal.

"To me, whatever brand is fine with me... When we came up with the Amanah logo, some said it was similar to (what was used by) a Indian television station. It's not a problem now.

"At the early stages, PKR faced the same problem," said Mohamad, in reference to PKR's new logo after the "merger" with Parti Rakyat Malaysia in 2003.

He added that the more public feedback on the choice of logos the coalition receives, the better.

Brickbats on the three proposed logos occured soon after they were uploaded on PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli's Facebook page.

Criticisms were centered on the unimaginative nature of the logos, particularly one with a thumbs-up symbol, with one prominent artist claiming that the issue was a "national emergency".

Following this, Harapan's leadership turned to the public for new logos. As of yesterday, 130 proposals were received.

Harapan said that large number of proposals was a good sign of support and interest in the development of the coalition.

The coalition is in a race against time to submit a logo as part of efforts to formalise the coalition through the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to enable them to contest under a single banner during the upcoming general election.
