China has unveiled the emblem for the 2010 Asian Games to be held
in south China's Guangzhou shortly ahead of the Doha Asian Games
taking place next month in Qatar.
The emblem is mainly composed of a simplified goat, symbol of
Guangzhou, which is called the "city of goats."
According to Chinese traditions, goats are a blessing and bring
people luck. It is also associated with the Chinese word "leading
goat."
The emblem was designed by Zhang Qiang from east China's Jiangxi
province and selected from an original pool of about 3,000
designs.
The designer incorporated the goat with four tracks, with a sun
shining above it.
