The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games logo was officially launched by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports.
Spirit of Youth – the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games logo – celebrates Singapore 2010 in an adventurous, open and fun way. It evokes the Singaporean sense of confidence and progress. A red flame represents the passion to learn and the power of positive thinking. A purple star symbolises excellence and the pride of representing one’s nation. A crescent reflects dynamic youth, full of promise. The active appearance of the “Singapore 2010” word mark comprises individual and unique characters that signify harmony among the diverse participants. The Spirit of Youth inspires all of us to express the Olympic spirit and celebrate the first-ever Youth Olympic Games.
The day-long event was packed with fun-filled activities ranging from the CAN!Run, a non-competitive 2010 metres run in the heart of the city to celebrate Singapore 2010; CAN! Play, a carnival featuring sports try-outs for wrestling, handball, modern pentathlon and a 3-on-3 basketball competition; as well as CAN! Party, a concert featuring youth talents and local artistes. Adding to the anticipation and excitement of the day was a launch mechanism,
measuring 7.6 metres by 2.5 metres and with a depth of two metres, specially devised to launch the logo. A combination of mechanism, featuring all the Youth Olympic Games sports, was triggered by mechanical means and saw 26 nimble and rapid transitions under one minute and 50 seconds. A timer then lit up and led the crowd to count down to the unveiling of the logo.
Yeap! I attended the SYOG Logo Lauch as videographer for NUS. Left PGP together with Sun Ye and Guo Qi and we reached SMU Campus Green at 3pm. Waited for the GOH arrival and the official logo launch. Haha..I manage to get a quite nice spot. Can see what was happening and record them. There were a lot of reporters there too. So have to really try and make my way to the front of the crowd to get a nice view for the video. Hehe..Guo Qi helped me to get to the front - helped me to hold the tripod so easier for me to squeeze to the front.
After the logo launch was the CAN! Run. So I was stationed at the starting point to take the video of flagging off. Haha..not bad I didn't missed it too but don't know if it will be clear coz have to avoid the people running.
Nothing much happened after that. Just visited some of the booths around. Then went over to National Museum of Singapore to look around. Went back to SMU to record the concert at night. Finish everything around 9pm. Packed up and had dinner.
