The traditional symbol of Korea, "tae-guek", was used as basis for designing the emblem of the 4th Asian Winter Games.

In addition to "tae-guek", the emblem also blends wave to represent the Sunrising Over the East Sea, snowflake to add a touch of winter and the sun to symbolize the Asian Games. The emblem is an expression of our hope that the 4th Asian Winter Games in Kangwon Province will promote harmony among Asian and contribute to "Ever Onward" progress in Asia.
