Emblem

The Emblem of the 2nd Asian Indoor Games gives an overall impression of the sun shining above the covered gymnasium. The Shining Sun the represents the ever-glimmering and warm spirit of the Asian people is the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia, and represents OCA's Vital role in Asia's sport development and cohesion. At the same time, it symbolises the passion, charm and unity of the people in Asia.

The design of the emblem is based on two Chinese characters: the powerful yellow strokes form the character "People", reflecting the vigour, vitality and unity of all people involved, whereas two sturdy blue strokes form the character "Two", representing the second edition of the Asian Indoor Games. The two green vertical strokes complete the design, representing sturdy growing plants, which symbolize both the environmental commitment of the host city, as well as the aspiration for the Asian Indoor Games to grow steadily into the future.

Mascot

Official mascot

The concept of "Mei Mei" derives from the wild migratory black-faced spoonbills which come and perch in Macao every year. "Mei Mei" soars high into the sky, symbolizing that Macao opens new paths with endless innovative spirit, and also represent the youthful, boundless and ground-breaking force of the Asian Indoor Games. As this migratory bird has been chosen to be the mascot, "Mei Mei" not only shows her energy of flying high, but also encourages Macao citizens to participate in the Macao 2007, 2nd Asian Indoor Games.
