Hi friends!

Please welcome the new face of Words in Bahasa! With the new face, I feel like it's only fair that I throw out some facts about our brand new logo, here are my favorites:

The color purple represents creativity. Words in Bahasa hopes to increase creativity and innovation in helping others learn about Indonesia's native language: Bahasa Indonesia in various ways.

The text outline portrays Batik. Have you ever heard of Batik? It's one of Indonesia's national treasures. A hand-crafted cloth, made of wax and love, Batik is very well-known here in Indonesia, and all around the world. As you see in the picture below, crafters would draw various motives such as flowers, leaves, etc. with wax (malam) using a tool we call canting. Most of the time, the center of the drawings will be left hallowed. This then inspires the idea of our logo text.

3. The slogan: "satu, dua, tiga kata", literally means "one, two, three word" or in French "un, deux, trois mot". I can bet on my sweet potato chips, that one of our first-ever learning experiences in life (besides ABC's) is one, two, three (unless you're a prodigy who might've done algebra by 5 years old, kudos to that though!). I was inspired by this, then made the slogan, it defines our time as learners, slowly but surely studying about Bahasa Indonesia with Words in Bahasa.

Hi everyone!

As Words in Bahasa returns from the dead (literally), we decided to start fresh while reliving our old times here on Tumblr! We will return with a new face, new energy, and surely, new words in Bahasa Indonesia, just for you!

Thank you for staying in here, it's quiet for a while, but we'll make sure you'll get more notifications from us henceforth ;)
