Logo
The logo of the 2010 Malaysian Paralympiad is a word image that reads “Paralimpiad Malaysia” (Malaysian Paralympiad) with the 1994 to 2004 three "pa" Paralympic logo aside it. It represents the commitment of Malaysian Paralympic Council in its role of hosting the games every two years.
Mascot
The mascot of the 2010 Malaysian Paralympiad is a mousedeer named, "Jantan". The mousedeer is a native animal in Malaysia locally known as pelanduk or kancil which is shy, but very agile and quick thinking. It is a favourite character in local folktales commonly known as "Sang Kancil", noted for its intelligence, wit, cunning feints and quick reaction to escape from all kinds of danger, especially from its enemies. The adoption of mousedeer as the games mascot is to represent the courage of the Paralympic athletes in overcoming challenges and the odds. The name of the mascot, Jantan is a common nickname for local Malaccan Malay youths.[7]
