The NAS logo signifies the dynamic role of archives in this information era. The wave-like feature in the logo illustrates:

1. the leading role of the National Archives as Government record keeper in the digital age and
2. the National Archives as repository of our nation's corporate memories.

The ‘scattered’ pixels/squares symbolise the active use of archives, contributing to greater understanding and appreciation of Singapore's history and heritage, thus fostering a resilient and connected nation.
