Logo: XIX Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010

Aakash — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:07:42 +0000

I just checked out new logo of Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 that looks much better (see on the left). I didn’t like the logo that was suggested earlier and I have pointed it out in my previous post that India need a better logo. This logo seems decent to me and I personally feel that it is worth being official logo for this Commonwealth games. Here is a nice writing (about logo and what it depicts) on this game’s official website.

“ The Logo for the XIX Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 is inspired by the Chakra, The National Symbol of Freedom, of Unity and Power. Spiraling Upwards, it depicts the Growth of India into a Proud, vibrant nation, her billion people coming together to fulfill their true destinies. India’s journey from tradition to modernity, her economic transformation into a super power … Reaching out to the world and leading the way, even as she enthusiastically embraces all the 71 CCGA nations and territories of the commonwealth to become one and host the best ever commonwealth Games in India. In Delhi. In 2010 “

Commonwealth Games 2010, India waiting for better Logo

Given above is the official logo of Commonwealth Games 2010.

New Delhi is waiting with pride to host the Commonwealth Games 2010. Right now, Delhities can see the changes in infrastructure to successfully host the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2010. The proposed dates for the Games are 3 – 14 October 2010 inclusive of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. It is only 2nd time when these games are being held in Asia and India is only third developing nation to host the event. Before India, Jamaica (1966) and Malaysia (1998) proudly hosted the games in Asia. This is the time when India could represent itself as a Sporting and cultural nation. Everything seems to be smooth till now.

But the above logo disappointed me a bit. It is very simple without any artistic work. I believe this could be more beautiful. A simple text, “Delhi 2010 Common Wealth Games”, has been written with the CGF (Commonwealth Games Federation) logo with the same old Appu (the lion) we saw in 1982 Asian Games. This seems that Indian Olympic association didn’t bear pain to design a good logo. This is quite embarrassing. One can easily guess there was no effort to design this logo. This really doesn’t represent a country like ours. A country like India which is known around the globe for its artistic and cultural products should really bring up some decent logo.
