The 'Kantor Pos' is famous for its bright orange branding. This color was chosen to be highly visible and is now synonymous with the postal service. In many old Javanese cities, the 'Kantor Pos Besar' is located near the 'Alun-alun' (central square), reflecting its historical importance in city planning. There is a very famous children's song called 'Pak Pos' that every Indonesian child knows. It teaches them about the post office.
