About the NAA Visual Identity

At NUS, our co-curricular space holds the potential for NUS students to strive for their best self. The NAA visual identify's key element, the upward arrow, symbolises growth, progress, and reaching new heights. When grouped, the six arrows form a wheel—signifying drive, energy, and movement. They also represent the six competitive award categories, capturing the breadth of student life and the diverse ways students make an impact at NUS.

About the NAA25 theme, Step Up Stand Out

This year’s theme spotlights bold individuals and collectives who dare to stand out and step beyond their comfort zones. These are the changemakers and trailblazers—pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and shaping a campus that is vibrant, inclusive, and compassionate. Their spirit takes centre stage at the newly renovated Yusof Ishak House, the epicentre of student life. This energy carries through the event’s graphic treatment, where strong letterforms are interwoven with elegant botanical flourishes. Flowing vines mirror the building’s lush greenery and sustainability ethos, symbolising purposeful growth—reaching outward, stepping boldly beyond convention, and nurturing a campus culture grounded in courage, creativity, and connection.
