The organizers have officially picked komodo as the Games' mascot as the nation's effort to support the conservation of the species. Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a large lizard which can only be found in Indonesian islands of Komodo, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara Province. It is found on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
As the Games mascot, Inasoc will introduce them as a couple of male and female komodo, named Modo and Modi.
Toughness of a Komodo represents the toughness of Indonesia against various challenges. This toughness is represented by Indonesia’s various native animals such as Cendrawasih (Bird of Paradise), Cassowary, Anoa, Proboscis Monkey, Orang Utan, one horned Rhinoceros, Sumatran Tiger, and others with the right movement and costume. These animals later consecrated Komodo as the SEA Games 2011 mascot.
Previously, Garuda (SEA Games logo) was officially introduced on January 15 during a kick off event, 300 Days toward the SEA Games at Tanah Airku Theatre in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. Physically, the Garuda symbolizes the power and its flaps wings represent the grandeur or glory.
In the logo, the head was given the red streaks symbolizing courage, fighting spirit, the spirit of play which also reflects the nationalism. The green streaks shaped mountain symbolizing Indonesia Nature Mountains and streaks of blue wave symbolizing the ocean archipelago.
The concept, is about the mighty Garuda as a guidance and as a protective figure, flying high above the Earth Mother which is rich in natural resources of forest, mountain, and maritime. This spirit is to inspire athletes of SEA Games to be proud of their own country and compete in sportsmanship.
Eleven small orange circles that resembles the petals form of a large circle is a representation of the 11 participating countries.
