The greatest thing is that  you have shared variety of your restaurant activities. I should say I'm a fan of your website, though I never posted any comments before.  I believe that the logos that Laos selected is just perfect itself for the SEA games.  The Elephant is the symbolic of national animal which indicates strength,peace,and friendliness. We all know that Lao is all that=] And I also believe you are definitely lucky that you will be able to join and share those fantastic  moments. I hope you wouldn't forget to share them with your fans too, just like you always do...=} Hi Vienne,

I guess that the "department" in charge of the logos thought long and hard over them. Yes, I agree that the Elephant is a strong, powerful and majestic symbol, but I also agree in making the logo "cute" and "memorable" to those who have never seen Laos or know about her history. A lot of football World Cups (think Mexico 1986) and city Expo logos (think Seville 1992) are colourful and cute, and at most times don´t really show any symbolic character, though their meaning, I am sure, is much more deeper. You only have to look at London´s 2012 Olympic  logo to see where my reply is heading. (what were they thinking!?). Laos can only show her heritage and customs by proving to the visitors what a wonderful and beautiful host she can be, and I am lucky that I will hopefully be there to see it with my own eyes..... :biggrin: Hi Patti and thanks for your comments.

It is very animated and cute, but I am not quite sure the national symbolic of Laos heritage and cultural root should be displayed as cute andcuddling. It should stand out more than cute  and cuddling like an elephant should be the symbolic of grace, honor, and mystic of the east like laos wattanatam passing from generation to generation from the bamboo root latches to the gate of "that luang's pathosai" annex to friendship bridges:) I like the laotain’s choice of the logo: champi and champa.
