100% Cinta Indonesia (Indonesian: "100% Love Indonesia") is a campaign launched in 2009 to promote Indonesian brands and products.

Indonesian brands, products, and services were encouraged to put the ”100% Cinta Indonesia” logo on their product packages and promotion materials.[3] The logo is free for Indonesian companies to use. Although it belongs to the government of Indonesia, it is considered public domain.
