THE RCY NDP 2006 CONTINGENT INSIGNIA
The idea of having an indigenous design for the RCY NDP 2006 T-shirts instead of using the NDP 2006 logo came about to create a distinctive identity for our marching contingent. It is the norm for other organizations particularly the SAF Guard-of-Honour contingents, to make their own NDP T-shirts bearing their respective SAF formation insignia or designs.
The RCY NDP 2006 contingent insignia was approved for printing by Singapore Red Cross (SRC) Corporate Communications. The basic concept of the design is simple yet symbolic. The design was essentially taken from the embroidered insignia of the RCY Cadet SWO rank (left), a thick red stripe sandwiched by 2 thin navy blue stripes. Like the SWO rank itself, the design bears the testimony of Loyalty, Leadership, Discipline, Dedication, Pride, Passion, Professionalism, Perseverance, Resilience, Ethics, Courage, Camaraderie and Care for comrades. These are the core values that every member should aspire as we ascend to greater heights.

These are the core values that every member should aspire as we ascend to greater heights. The words “Singapore Red Cross NDP 2006 Marching Contingent” aims to inform others that the T-shirt bearer is representing the SRC in NDP 2006 as a parade participant. This helps to educate the public that Red Cross is not just about first aid. The patriotic tagline “For Honour, For Country” are the sincere reasons why our cadets and instructors dedicate their time and effort in NDP, guided by the ideals of the crescent and five stars of the State flag.
The national colours of red and white (as the strikethrough lines) are used to highlight “NDP 2006” which is the grand event while other components in the design are in navy blue. Navy blue is significant because it is a traditional Red Cross uniform colour and a status of boldness and steadfast calibre; the attributes of a credible and vibrant uniform group. Together the combination of red and navy blue on a white background enables the insignia to project a bold yet striking effect.
