Bali
One of the 4 strength aspects Balinese architecture focuses on is a Guarding Wall, which acts as protection from people and evil spirits. Handara Gate is used to show the high guarding wall. There is a tail in the background because the Balinese tiger was the pride of Balinese wildlife but are now extinct and is remembered in dances and folk songs.

Dubai
The Burj Al Arab, a symbolic statement, is placed in the center of the badge with the Dubai Frame right behind it to show the viewer they are looking at it from New Dubai. I used a teal colour for the Burj Al Arab to contrast the golden yellow on the Dubai frame.

Singapore
Singapore’s nickname, Garden City, is represented with the Flower and Cloud Dome from Gardens by the Bay, a nature park. However, I added in the Merlion to keep the original meaning of Singapore, which was first named Singapura also known as Lion City.

Sydney
I wanted the Sydney Opera House to look simplified and unique while keeping the iconic sails so I stacked the sails on top of each other so that it’s still recognizable. The yellow circle in the background represents the sunny days there.

Tokyo
A popular tourist attraction, the Sensoji Temple, is illustrated to show how the art and architecture represents their culture. There is a fish just above the roof of the temple to make it appear like the structure is underwater since Tokyo is originally a fishing village.
