Wing of Lights
“Soaring with passion, dreams,
and harmony on the wings of all five great oceans and six continents “
The Gwangju Universiade emblem “Wings of Light” is shaped like a “U”, the symbol of the Universiade, extended into outspread wings. It represents the passion of athletes flying beyond limits, the dynamic atmosphere of sport, and the harmony of nations, together with Gwangju’s soaring flight into the world. The five blue wings on the right refer to the five oceans and the six red on the left to the six continents. The overlapping light denotes the harmony and friendship among the world’s youth in the Universiade.
The soaring U-shaped wings emitting light symbolize Gwangju’s soaring flight as a global city and its wish for ideals and victory through the Universiade.
