These agencies have been advised to exhibit the modernity and the diversity of Brazil through the official emblem. More than hundred and twenty five designs were submitted by the end of closing date. These designs have been reviewed by the FIFA and LOC to shortlist the designs. Inspiration of the winning design is expressed by three triumphant hands which are shown through an iconic photograph. Colors of hands in the emblem are welcoming the people from all over the world to explore the shores of Brazil.
