From GamesBids.com:

Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development, Youth and Sports Teo Ser Luck unveiled the tagline, logo, official website and video of Singapore’s bid for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games on Tuesday at the Singapore Sports School. He said, “the tagline “Blazing the Trail” is about Singapore blazing the trail in making investments to youth and sports. It also conveys the country’s can-do spirit, passion and determination to bid for the Games.

The official logo for the bid is the national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, to reflect the country’s quest for fresh ideas, progress and excellence in all aspects of life.

An official video that highlights the best of Singapore will also be presented to the International Olympic Committee which can be viewed on the official website www.singapore2010.sg and You Tube.

The video highlights the magic of the country, showcasing its beauty, vibrancy and diversity while capturing the energy and passion of its youth, according to Singapore 2010.

The core of Singapore’s bid is the celebration of the Olympic values - excellence, friendship and respect through the bid. Singapore 2010 said it hopes to inspire true sportsmanship among youths and promote understanding and harmony among communities and with other nations.

Teo Ser Luck said it was a challenge to actually put together an international event in such a short time, but said it is a challenge for all the other cities.

He said, “Singapore has a proven track record to turn around many international events – IOC Session, the IMF – so I believe it is a challenge, but it is also our advantage”.

Ng Ser Miang, Executive Board Member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said, “the Prime Minister has given a very strong endorsement for Singapore to bid. And I think the different government agencies and the whole sports fraternity are also behind the bid, so there is a lot of input that makes this a very strong bid”.
