The eye of the ancient god Horus has been
chosen as the Egypt 2010 bid logo. The Horus
eye was believed to have protective powers
and symbolizes wisdom, prosperity and unity.
The logo's red, white and black color scheme
represents the colors of the Egyptian flag,
reflecting Egypt's pride in bidding to host
the World Cup.
The Egypt 2010 bid slogan "Uniting People"
aims to capture the spirit of peace and
harmony among nations, which is mainly what
the World Cup stands for, while representing
Egypt's rich heritage and culture as one of
the world's unifying civilizations.
