In the middle of the emblem there is a stylized representation
of the FIFA World Cup Trophy which symbolizes the unique image
of the FIFA World Cup as the key element of the emblem. It is
the first-ever emblem to include a stylized Trophy in the history
of the FIFA World Cup Trophy at the centre.
Appearance
The overall appearance of the emblem is one of a circle. This
was chosen for its highly symbolic nature: the circle has been
part of the Asian culture for many centuries and has also stood
for the universe, the sun, the world and balanced life. Thus
the theme of a circle and a sphere is used to constitute both
the outer shape and the FIFA World Cup Trophy at the centre.
Symbol
Colour
The symbol is brightly coloured to embody the vibrant colours of
the many different countries participating in the tournament. Moreover,
the symbol uses colours with a special meaning in Asia. Example)
Yellow (Middle of the emblem) the Symbol of "centre" in
Asia. White (Surrounding the Trophy) the Symbol of "purity"
in Asia.
Other considerations
The circle is left open at the top-left of the emblem to indicate
openness of the FIFA World Cup Trophy to anyone in the world. In other
words, each and every participant stands a chance of winning the
Trophy, the grand prize for reaching his ultimate goal of seizing
the championship.
