Yogyakarta province has carried out a city branding with the tagline “Jogja Never Ending Asia”, since 2004. However, that city branding did not fit the expectation and failed. The stakeholders should feel confused with it. After more than one decade, in 2015, the Government of Yogyakarta Province launched city re-branding with a new tagline "Jogja Istimewa".
