ASEAN will turn forty on 8 August 2007. Throughout the year, the ASEAN Member Countries will be organising events and activities to commemorate the 40th Anniversary.

"One ASEAN at the Heart of Dynamic Asia" is the official theme of the 40th Anniversary.

The selection of the logo was done through a region-wide competition. National-level contests to design a 40th Anniversary logo for ASEAN were organised by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the ten ASEAN Member Countries and the national winners went on to compete at a regional final that took place at the end of January 2007. The winning logo was submitted by Mr. Haji Othman bin Haji Salleh of Brunei Darussalam.
