President-elect Halimah Yacob's supporters not only turned up this morning (Sept 13) but also produced some official merchandise.
Like this one:

Wait a minute.
If you also find her logo familiar, this might be why you are feeling a bit of a déjà vu.
Her logo is similar to Honour Singapore's logo:

And that's not all.
Even the colour of her logo triggered a response from one Kpop fan of Shinhwa, a famous Korean boyband with Orange as their fan club colour:

Well, to be fair, orange is not a patented colour. In the local context, orange also means racial and religious harmony.
Anyway, our president-elect was indeed swarmed by supporters.
