The logo of the 2014 ASEAN University Games is an image of Palembang's landmark, the Ampera Bridge a vertical lift bridge that connects Seberang Ulu and Seberang Ilir, two regions of Palembang and Bidar, a boat of the South Sumatra Province. The Bidar boat represents Palembang, while the Ampera Bridge represents the connection between and the unity of the youths of ASEAN and the countries in Southeast Asia. The chain symbolises the close friendship between the countries and participants involved in the events, while the gold colour of the chain symbolises the achievement of the objectives of the participants.
