However, not long after the reveal, the design, in particular its mascot, received many criticism, mainly by art communities and netizens. After a public outcry, the Ministry of Youth and Sports eventually abandoned the design, and ordered Creative Economy Board (Bekraf) to immediately revise them.

The new logo, dubbed as The Energy of Asia, depicts an aerial view of Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) stadium and is adorned with imagery of the stadium’s eight gates as well as the Asian Games’ sun logo in the center. The logo was inspired by GBK stadium, which is located in Senayan, Central Jakarta, and was Indonesia’s first sophisticated sports arena, built when the country hosted the Asian Games in 1962.

Bhin Bhin represents the Cendrawasih bird of paradise, wearing a vest with Asmat traditional motifs from the Papua, Eastern Indonesia Region, which symbolize strategy. Atung represents the Bawean Deer, wearing a batik parang sarong from Central Indonesian Region, which symbolizes speed and a "Never give up fighting" spirit. Kaka (originally dubbed Ika) represent single horned Javan rhinoceros, wearing a flower motif from Palembang's Songket scraf that represents Western Indonesia Region, which symbolize power. Together, the combined symbols of their names (Bhin Bhin — Atung — Kaka) spell out Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity), the national motto of Indonesia.
