SINGAPORE 2011 • the 3rd ASEAN Schools Games
3rd ASEAN Schools Games
SINGAPORE 2011
: the Logo :
The logo comprises of an olympic torch with 10 tongues of flame arising from the mouth representing the 10 member countries of ASEAN.
The silhouette of the torch resembles the nose and eyes of a lion symbolising the historical name of Singapore - Singapura (Lion City).
The swash of grey serves to emphasise the facial features of the lion while also adding a sense of dynamism to the logo. The dynamism of the logo is also evident in the shift of illustrative style of the lion's mane from a stiffer, more physical nature to one more fluid and gentle. This represents the range of sports events in the games.
The stiffer section of the lion's mane is also reminiscent of the mane of the Singapore Merlion.
The official colours of the ASEAN logo of White, Blue, Red and Yellow are incorporated into the logo in the form of the torch and the lion's mane. The gradual shift of colours from red to yellow serves as a graphic element to the logo, adding more depth aesthetically to the symbol of the lion.
The bars at the lower portion of the torch design create the roman numeral for '3'; symbolising the 3rd time that the Games are being held.
: Mascot : Sean, the Lion
The Mascot for the 3rd ASEAN Schools Games is Sean – the Lion.
Sean is truly a representative of ASEAN as his name is an acronym of 'South East Asian Nations'. Sean is a spirited young lion, whose friendly smile embodies the message of ASEAN solidarity and inter-cultural engagement promoted by the Games, as well as the warm welcome of the host country – Singapore.
Sean is dressed distinctively in red and white, the national colours of Singapore; they are colours that resonate with the vigour and vitality of youth.
His fiery red mane captures the meeting of youth sport talents from ASEAN, their passion for sports and the pursuit of sporting excellence in these exciting Games.
Much like the bold animal he is designed after, Sean represents the aspiration of the games – to set its young participants on a bold and exciting journey to discover the spirit of sporting camaraderie and excellence.

2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games
(officially known as I Summer Youth Olympic Games)

Mascot: Lyo & Merly
(officially known as I Summer Youth Olympic Games)
August 14th - 26th, 2010
Mascot: Lyo & Merly
Lyo (pronounced as “Leo”), the “Lion of the Youth Olympics”, is a lion cub with a mane as fiery as his passion for life. Full of youthful energy, Lyo is always on the go, exploring and discovering new things and playing sports. His favourite sport is basketball and he dreams of someday representing Singapore in international basketball tournaments.
Growing up in Singapore, the City-in-a-Garden, Lyo is no stranger to people. He enjoys making friends from all over the world and learning about their different cultures. He is fun-loving and wants to inspire youths to keep fit and enjoy sports for life.
* Star Sign: Leo
* Dream: To win a gold medal in an international basketball championship.
* Personal Motto: “Never say never”
* Favourite Food: Chilli Crabs and Chicken Rice with lots of chilli
* Hobbies: Jamming on his guitar, exploring and discovering new things, and playing sports, especially basketball.
Symbolism
Legend tells us that a prince visited a lovely tropical island a long, long time ago. Upon landing, he spotted a beautiful lion, and so named the island Singapura, which means ‘Lion City’. Today, that island has grown into the city-state of Singapore, whose 5 million people have adopted the Lion as their national symbol.
Lyo’s mane resembles the Flame of Passion of the Spirit of Youth, the emblem of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. It also calls to mind the Singapore 2010 tagline ‘Blazing the Trail’. His paw is shaped like Singapore island.
Merly got her name from “mer” (as in mermaid, a maiden of the sea) and “l y” for liveliness and youthfulness.
She is a merlion cub who loves exploring the seas surrounding Singapore, and beyond.
Although merlions are omnivorous by nature, Merly sticks to a vegetarian diet out of a deep respect for all living creatures. Merly is friendly and a great listener – when she becomes your friend, she is your friend for life. Always ready to join a good cause, Merly is especially passionate about protecting our environment (sadly, many of her friends have become ill as their homes have been polluted) Merly believes that every one of us can help create a sustainable future and works hard to spread that message. Her dream is to become an environmental scientist one day, so that she can find more ways to help people live in harmony with Nature.
* Star Sign: Aquarius
* Dream: To become an environmental scientist.
* Personal Motto: “You can achieve anything if you pour your heart into it!”
* Favourite Food: Ice Kachang (a Singaporean dessert of shaved ice drenched in colourful syrup).
* Hobbies: Singing, swimming, and collecting seashells to return them to sea.
Symbolism
The merlion is a mythical sea creature that is part lion and part fish. It is inspired by Singaporean folklore and Singapore’s fishing village origins.
Merly’s paw is shaped like a heart.
