The three spotted seal siblings lived joyously in the gifted natural environment of Dumujin Village, Baekryeong Island of Incheon.
Although they had entertaining and happy lives due to the excellent natural environment, outstanding view and abundant food, the three siblings were always filled with curiosity about Incheon, with its extravagant night view, and the ships and planes that transited the port and airport.
One day, the three gods of Incheon, the "God of Light", the "God of Wind" and the "God of Joy", were seeking Protectors for the Incheon Asian Games. They found the warm hearts, loving minds, curiosity and passion of the three seal siblings on the rock at Dumujin Village, and asked them to become mascots of Incheon Asian Games.
The three siblings accepted, jumping for joy, and the three gods of Incheon passed on their abilities and powers to each seal, turning them into protective mascots that would spread the word about the Incheon Asian Games, and help it to achieve great success.
The eldest of the siblings was commanded to use its light-emitting ability to shine a bright and hopeful light around the globe to promote successful preparations for Incheon Asian Games. The second sibling was commanded to propagate new news of Incheon with its fast movement and its ability to stir up a mysterious wind. The youngest sibling was commanded to use its ability to add joy to spread the passion of the athletes participating in Incheon Asian Games, and the moments of ecstasy that are part of amateur sport.
With their new abilities, the three seal siblings began their adventure throughout Incheon and the world to propagate the Incheon Asian Games, and to introduce Incheon, the city of dreams and hopes, to the world.
The Games pictogram design is inspired by the Bangudae Petroglyphs in Daegok-ri, Ulsan--the 285th National Treasure of the Republic of Korea--which are rock
engravings depicting various images of "hopes and wishes" of prehistoric people.
For their realistic description of objects, petroglyphs are highly praised works of art, created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving and abrading.
Highlighting the characteristics of each sport while aiming for easy and fast understanding by the public, organizers of the Incheon Asian Games developed a creative and unique
pictogram system for the Games, using a petrogram method to realize the same effect as petroglyphs.
