Logo
The 1978 Commonwealth Games logo was derived from three elements:
|
|
The Canadian Maple leaf.
The arrows directing and converging to the central point symbolising worldwide attention and movement to Edmonton.
A series of V's indicating the many thousands of volunteers who made the Commonwealth Games possible.
|
Mascot
|
The 1978 Commonwealth Games mascot represented a replica of the Swan Hills Grizzly Bear native to Alberta and found only in the Swan Hills, a densely forested higher region of North Alberta.
It is one of North America's largest bears and at maturity can weigh more than 400kg. Its fur is a medium brown colour and is long and shaggy. The mascot was named "Keyano", a Cree Indian word which means unity and brotherhood and which appropriately describes the Friendly Games. |
