The emblem was designed by Elena Rivera McGregor. The subject is an abstract human figure with open arms and consists of five rectangles. Below are the words "Vancouver 20 10" and the Olympic rings.

The design of the main statue is inspired by the giant stone carving of Inuit in northern Canada. These carved and stacked humanoid boulders are often used as road signs and monuments. The main image of this human figure is named Elanak, which means "friend" in Inuit.

Iranak's head is green, his arms are dark blue, his trunk is sky blue, and his legs are red and gold respectively. Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee said that green, dark blue and sky blue represent forests, mountains and islands in the coastal areas of Vancouver, red is the color of maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada, and gold represents the sunset scenery in Vancouver. These five colors are the same as those of the Olympic rings. Furong, CEO of Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee, said that the whole human figure embodies "friendship, enthusiasm, strength, vision and team spirit". 20071October 27th, 20 10 Vancouver mascots for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics were announced.

Mascot Mascot 2 There are three mascots for the Winter Olympics, designed by Vancouver Mimi Design Company. Miga's image comes from killer whales and lark bears, as well as the folklore of the North Pacific Indian Tsimshian. In the storyline, it likes surfing, so people who love me and my dog like skiing. Kwachi is a Bigfoot savage in North America and a legendary monster in the mountains of northwest North America. Because of its love of ice hockey, it embarked on a journey to Vancouver with Miga. The mascot of the Winter Paralympic Games is an elf named Sumi, who is set as the patron saint of animals, with the wings of Thunderbird and the feet of a black bear, and the hat image on his head comes from killer whales. In the storyline, it spreads its wings and takes Miga and Quatchi to Vancouver. There is also a hidden mascot-Vancouver woodchuck Mukmuk. It only appears on the mascot propaganda animation and mascot official website, and is the partner of the first three mascots. The organizing committee of Vancouver Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games held a mascot release ceremony in Suri, near Vancouver, on the 27th. More than 800 students from 8 local primary schools witnessed this exciting moment.

The organizing committee of Vancouver 20 10 Winter Olympics officially announced the winter Olympic torch and torchbearer costumes in Whistler, a Canadian ski resort, on June 2, thus kicking off the celebration of the one-year countdown to the Winter Olympics. On the morning of 12 local time, IOC President Rogge and Vancouver Winter Olympics Organizing Committee President Furong attended the opening ceremony of the torch relay in Whistler. More than 65,438+0,500 local government officials, celebrities and athletes' representatives attended the ceremony. The torch of Vancouver Winter Olympics is about 1 m long, with streamlined design and white color. After being filled with fuel, it weighs 1.6kg and can burn 12 minutes. Designed by the famous Bombardier company in Canada, the torch was inspired by the undulating terrain covered with snow in Canada and the skid marks left by skiers when they rushed down the snow slope. The torch is inlaid with the emblem of the Winter Olympics and has an opening in the shape of a red maple leaf. The maple leaf is a symbol of Canada, and this maple leaf-shaped opening also has a practical function-it is the exhaust port of the torch. The costume of the torchbearer consists of white jacket, trousers, endless velvet hat and gloves with red maple leaves. The design not only considers the needs of the winter environment, but also skillfully combines the design concept of the torch. The color is mainly white, and the left sleeve of the coat is matched with bright blue-green, which symbolizes the beautiful scenery from Vancouver to Whistler, from the sea to the blue sky. The jacket is embroidered with the torch relay logo on the chest and the five-ring logo on the back. Torchbearer costume is designed by Hudson Bay Company, Canada's oldest company.
