The Flames are proud to share the logo for the inaugural South Asian Celebration game, presented by Scotiabank, which was designed by local artist Zoe Harveen Kaur Sihota.

1.   The peacock holds significance, both cultural and spiritual. It represents beauty, grace, and elegance across many of the nations and landscapes that define South Asian heritage.

2.   South Asian patterns, such as Mehndi designs, Paisley motifs, Ajrak prints, Ikat patterns, and Madhubani art, convey cultural significance and tell the stories of the people and the land that they’ve lived on since the beginning, through symbols like unity and storytelling.

3.   South Asian architecture is a representation of a multitude of cultural and historical influences, and it serves as a testament to the rich heritage of the region. The top right corner of the South Asian inspired flaming C represents the influence of architecture from the region.

Sihota incorporated traditional colours into the design:

Maroon – The colour of strength and resilience. It represents the endurance and fortitude of individuals and communities in how they overcome challenges.

Saffron - Represents bravery, courage, and sacrifice. It encapsulates the spirit of selflessness and determination.

Green - Forever linked to the industry of agriculture, symbolizes growth, prosperity, and the lush landscapes from which all life starts.

Red - The symbol of power, prosperity, and good luck. It also represents fire and is the soul of what it means to be a Calgary Flame.
