The theme for 2022 APEC meetings is "Open. Connect. Balance."[4]

The APEC 2022 logo was selected from the 2021 National Youth Design Award competition, jointly organized by the Thai Foreign ministry and several Thai universities. Logo submissions were accepted from May 1 to June 30, 2021. 598 logos were submitted by people under 25 year old from many countries.[5]

The logo selected from the contest was made by Chawanon Wongtrakuljong, an architecture student from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. It features a Chalom, an ancient traditional bamboo basket used to carry products and goods in Thailand. Chaloms are made with bamboo strips, tied and interlaced together to serve as a strong structure. Thus, it is used to symbolize strength, resilience, and cooperation between the nations in the region.[1][5][6] Chalom also represents prosperous trading and commerce, since it is used to carry goods. Additionally, the logo also represents sustainability, because Chaloms are made from bamboo, an environmentally friendly material.

The 21 openings between the woven bamboo stands for the 21 APEC nations.[5] The 3 colors used in the logo represents the motto of the meeting:[6]

  Blue represents "Open"
  Pink represents "Connect"
  Green represents "Balance"
