Huraian simbolik disebalik kresta mahkota singa betina & jantan meneraskan kepentingan setiap anggota, biarpun kaum Adam atau Hawa yang berbilang umur. Nama kumpulan Sang Singa Purba pula dicoret menjadi bentuk kerongsang. 4 sabit yang melambangkan Sastera, Seni Tari, Irama & Bidang Pentas digelang bersama menerapkan zat persembahan kami. Anak panah yang dicocok ke arah bawah melambangkan sifat rendah diri yang harus diterapkan dalam setiap Anak Seni Sang Singa Purba.

Rona-rona Sang Singa Purba tercetus melalui sejarah Sang Nila Utama yang menemui seekor haiwan seperti singa di pulau Temasek suatu masa dahulu. “Ia berdada asmaradanta, berbadan merah dan bermahkota hitam”. Sebagai kumpulan teater Melayu berasal dari Politeknik pertama Singapura, kami menjunjung semangat berani & misteri seumpama Sang Nila Utama dan Singa Purba di pulau Temasek. Kami, Sang Singa Purba.

The symbolic interpretation of the lion & the lioness’ heads represents the importance of every member of Sang Singa Purba regardless of age or gender. Our name, Sang Singa Purba is designed artistically through the initials SSP in the shape of a Malay brooch or “Kerongsang”. Its four intertwining curves signify Literature, Dance, Music and Theatre/Drama – the essence of our performances. Lastly the arrow that shoots down characterizes humility of humans bonded together with one aim in the performing Arts. This arrow finally forms “S.S.P”, the initials of Sang Singa Purba.

The colours of Sang Singa Purba were inspired by Sang Nila Utama’s description of the beast that was spotted on our island. “It has a black mane atop of its white chest and red body”. Being a Malay theatre group from the first polytechnic in Singapore, we aspire the very same spirit of both Sang Nila Utama and the Ancient Lion of Singapore, brave and mysterious. We are The Ancient Lions.
