The shining sun is adopted from the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia and symbolizes the enthusiasm, charm and cohesion of Asian people. Two Chinese characters make up the rest of the emblem. Two yellow strokes form the Chinese character for “people,” thus reflecting the concept of humanity. Two blue horizontal strokes form the Chinese character “two,” signifying the Second Indoor Asian Games. Two green vertical strokes represent two healthily growing trees, embodying the commitment of Macao to environmental protection and to the healthy growth of an Asian sports culture.

Together, these six simple strokes produce the image of a house, symbolizing the “indoor” games. This bright, simple, yet elegant emblem represents the overall culture of Macao – characterized by its immense vigor, diversity and unified support of the 2007 2nd Asian Indoor Games soon to be held in our region.
