This emblem is a blend of meaning and beauty, representing more than just a design. At its core, the Bocce & Bowling Balls symbolize the very sports that will be showcased during the competition, bringing athletes from across the Asia Pacific together in a spirit of camaraderie and competition.

Surrounding these balls are the Peacock Feathers, chosen not just for their aesthetic appeal but for what they stand for: beauty, inclusion, grace, love, and compassion. These feathers symbolize the spreading of wings, much like how this event will spread its message of inclusivity and unity.

The Transformation from Balls to Feathers is particularly significant, depicting the graceful way a peacock unfurls its wings, symbolizing growth, progress, and the beautiful journey of our athletes.
