2009년 9월 5일 부터 15일까지 대만 타이페이에서 열리는
전 세계 농아인들의 스포츠 축제 한마당인
21회 농아인 올림픽에 대해 이모저모를 소개해 드립니다.
The logo, designed in 2003 by graphic design artist Ralph Fernandez, is a positive
and powerful symbol of the international deaf sports community.
It ties together strong elements: Sign language, deaf and international cultures, unity and continuity.
The hand shapes, "ok", "good", and "great" that overlap each other in a circle,
represent the original sign for "deaflympics". Together, the hand shapes represent
the sign for "united".The center of the logo represents the iris of the eye, which defines
deaf people as visual people; they must use their eyes to communicate.
The logo incorporates the four colors of the national flags of the world.
The red, blue, yellow and green represent the four regional confederations
the Asia Pacific Deaf Sports Confederation, the European Deaf Sports Organization,
the Pan American Deaf Sports Organization and the Confederation of African Deaf Sports.
