Asian Marks

<div>
<p>Interpretation: An overall concept of unity of man and nature is embodied in the emblem. Three moving figures hold their hands together, symbolizing that Asian people are living in harmony like a family and enjoying the great pleasure brought by beach sports.<br /><br />Three S elements, sun, sand and sea, are emphasized and aim to show the tourist features and to reflect the unique culture and charm of the host city of the 3rd Asian Beach Games.<br /><br />By one magic line, three sport postures of playing beach volleyball, playing football and swimming are outlined, like flame and like seawater. It is a proper and vivid description of the features of beach games. The three postures are just a combination of strength, passion and beauty of sports, representing the athletes' spirit of struggling, energy of competing and beauty of playing.<br /><br />Together with the sport postures and bright sun, the yellow line beneath, which composes a vivid and spectacular scene of Asian Beach Games, reflects its unique charm of passion, sunshine and fashion.<br /><br />The theme image of the emblem is similar to the Chinese character, with its pinyin form “Hai”, not only represents Haiyang as host city of the 3rd Asian Beach Games, but reflects the features of the Beach Games here. The delicate one-line design gives people a unique visual beauty and fully displays its artistic beauty.</p>

<p>The torch for the 3rd Asian Beach Games takes as its prototype a phoenix dancing over the golden sand. Phoenix, a sign of good luck, is a flame carrier which symbolizes the spirit of Haiyang people, thus each torchbearer is like an angel of light dancing with the phoenix and passing the Haiyang spirit and joy throughout Asia.<br /><br />The torch contains 3 core colors: cherry red, beach yellow and sea blue. Cherry red represents sunshine and joy, beach yellow represents sports and passion and sea blue represents ocean and energy, which together embody the vision of the 3rd Asian Beach Games "Sand and Sun, Passion and Fashion".<br /><br />At the bottom of the torch is the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia. The torch mouth shapes like a phoenix to become reborn at the moment of fl aming, which symbolizes the selfrenewal and persistent spirit of athletes.</p>

<div>
<p>Interpretation: A concept of unity of man and nature, expressing a good wish for the harmony between human and human, human and nature, and meaning a long-lasting happiness. Asian Beach Games is a big party and always reminds all participants of the joy of being together with Haiyang and Asian Beach Games. It is a reform in form on the Games Slogan by using a meaningful phrase to attract wide attention, leaving people with a lasting aftertaste and worthy their careful study.</p>
