Traditionally the mascot of the Universiade is associated with an animal in the state language of the host country. The Kazakh translation of "falcon" - "sunkar" - is easily read and pronounced in other languages. Falcon gives positive perception and reflects the young, open-hearted and purposeful character of the mascot.

Flame
Flame is the main attribute of the Torch Relay, a portable device which keeps the flare burning continuously in the open air no matter the weather conditions.
