The federal capital is to have an official mascot called MarGo, with the goal of enhancing the city's image and recognizing its cultural heritage. MarGo, a fusion of "Mar" from Margalla Hills and "Go" signifying growth and prosperity, embodies a cheetah symbolizing dynamism and progress in Islamabad.
Adorned with trendy sunglasses and a stylish muffler, MarGo represents sophistication and modern style, reflecting the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city.
This move follows a global trend seen in cities like New York with the Statue of Liberty and London with its iconic red double-decker buses, which have become symbols of their landscapes and cultures.
The civic agency has planned to strategically place MarGo in key locations throughout the city to establish it as a recognizable symbol of Islamabad.
From busy markets to peaceful parks and government buildings, MarGo will warmly welcome both tourists and locals. Besides its symbolic importance, MarGo is expected to boost tourism and encourage civic pride in Islamabad.
By uniting the diverse community of the capital under one symbol, MarGo aims to be a beloved icon representing the shared goals and accomplishments of the city.
MarGo possesses an irresistible charisma and universal appeal that is sure to captivate everyone who comes across it, solidifying its reputation as a timeless emblem of Islamabad's vibrant essence and cultural legacy.
