Ministry of Community Development & Sports

The Ministry of Community Development and Sports (MCDS) mission is to achieve a cohesive and resilient society. Our aim is to bring about a nation that is tight-knit and united, characterised by harmony and equality, which pulls together not only in good times, but also in times of adversity. Three approaches targeted at the different levels of society - the individual, the family and the community - describe how they gear their efforts to achieve these ends.

MCDS New Logo Rationale

The MCDS logo is symbolic of the Ministry’s mission to build a cohesive and resilient society for Singapore.

Spontaneous and free-flowing, the three figures represent the individual, family and community working together in close partnership to build a more caring and cohesive society. The connecting graphics emphasises social cohesiveness, bonding between young and old, and our "many helping hands" approach as we work together to foster stronger ties within our families, within communities, and between communities.

Resilience, optimism and energy are reflected in the sporty, spring-like effect of the graphics. Orange is selected for its vibrance and positive outlook, while turquoise reflects modernity and progressiveness. The font used for MCDS is bold yet friendly, highlighting the critical role the Ministry plays in building a cohesive and resilient society.
