The 2011 signage for the Press Briefing Room of the New Executive Building is the latest update since 1986. The present modified design harmonizes the elements of past official signage, incorporating the famous Pasig River façade of the Palace with its arched windows and two towers, the name of the official residence and its location. The background color is the national blue, as used in the national flag and presidential seal. The font used is in keeping with the traditional typography used in official stationery since the Commonwealth era.
Virtually the entire historic structure of the Palace itself was rebuilt in 1978, drastically enlarging the Palace. This was first portrayed in the 1985 revision of the 20-peso bill, and in official signage during the Estrada administration. In 2003, the riverfront façade was further renovated to reproduce the wrought-iron grillwork of the premartial law-era presidential palace and this renovation is now reflected in the new signage.
