A CHALLENGE AND A PROMISE
Own the Podium 2010 is a challenge to our nation to step up and show the world its very best. It is an unprecedented commitment to Canadian winter sport that spans virtually every discipline and region. It is a promise to our athletes that they will have solid support from training ground to finish line.

Three powerful words known to all Canadians will be forever linked with Olympic and Paralympic athletic achievement, with the 2010 Winter Games and with Canada. With Glowing Hearts was announced as the motto for the 2010 Winter Games by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC).
With Glowing Hearts is connected and familiar to all Canadians through our anthem O Canada and it also embodies what it takes to be an Olympic or Paralympic athlete, said John Furlong, VANOC Chief Executive Officer. It embodies the emotions every athlete will feel — no matter where they are from or what flag they stand under — when they have the honour to represent their own country on the worlds grandest international stage in 2010.
With Glowing Hearts captures in a few simple, time-honoured words what it means to be Canadian, the deep pride we have in our country and who we are. Its our hope that Canadians will see themselves in these words. They reflect our personality, our values as a country and our rich history, continued Furlong.
Des plus brillants exploits was also revealed today as the French motto for the 2010 Winter Games. While the French and English mottos are different, they are drawn from the same inspiration. Des plus brillants exploits references the pinnacle of achievement and the extraordinary feats of human endeavour that will occur, both for the athletes and for everyone involved in staging the 2010 Winter Games, said Furlong.
What better metaphor for the incredible achievements of the worlds best athletes than the heart itself? Furlong continued. And perhaps most importantly, the mottos describe the pride that results from outstanding achievement, be it an athletes performance of a lifetime or the valuable contribution of a dedicated volunteer. Theres a champion in everybody and the mottos invite everyone to step up to their own podium and give their very best through the once-in-a-lifetime experience of the 2010 Winter Games.
I think With Glowing Hearts works no matter where you are coming from. Its about being proud and working hard, said Nathalie Lambert, a four-time Olympic medallist. Its about commitment, passion and dedication, and everybody has that when they make it to the Games. I think everyone will be inspired by that motto.
“Finding the perfect motto for the Olympic Games is one of the great challenges Organizing Committees face,” said Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). “It may be the last inspirational words an athlete reads on the field of play before their performance of a lifetime, or the first celebratory words they see when stepping onto the medal podium. It should both welcome visitors from around the world and motivate an army of volunteers. With Glowing Hearts is an inspired motto choice and we commend VANOC on selecting a motto that delivers on all of these counts and invites the world to share in these time-honoured words from Canada’s national anthem.”

The Host Country of every Olympic and Paralympic Games tells a unique story of culture and imagination through design and artistry. The Vancouver 2010 graphic identity seeks to unify and beautify the Games with a consistent look and feel throughout all its environments and communications. It will also allow VANOC to leave a mark in memories and in photos. Seen on the design of vancouver2010.com, brochures and publications, merchandise and uniforms, the graphic identity elements will eventually appear on buildings, street signs, banners and venues, dressing the city and venues in colour during Games time.
Canadas many cultures merge to offer fresh ideas and possibilities. The countrys multiculturalism inspires Vancouver 2010 to portray transformation and fusion as a major theme within the graphic identity. It also represents balance and connections between natural and urban environments, reflecting how Canadians live in and contribute to both surroundings.
Inspired by the dynamic energy of Vancouver, Whistler and Canada, Vancouver 2010 imagery creates a space where nature and culture transform and grow — like the power, speed and spirit of the athletes. Design representations of water and vegetation are incorporated frequently and serve as a symbol of natures nourishing and rejuvenating powers. Emotive, dynamic athlete imagery captures the heroism and beauty of sport.
The Vancouver 2010 imagery is progressive and youthful, conveying Canadas personality and adventurous spirit.
IMAGE AND ICONS
The Vancouver 2010 story will be told by many ambassadors, and in many languages, including the universal language of design.
Olympic and Paralympic Games designs have a long tradition of creativity and excellence. Each Games creates its own imagery and icons to present a unique story and personality to the world. From the emblems to the torch to the medals, Olympic and Paralympic design elements showcase the values and spirit of the Games and the Host Country.
The Vancouver 2010 imagery and icons reflect the many faces of Canadas Games — its warm, welcoming spirit and its celebration of cultural diversity.
