Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, has taken a step towards solidifying its unique identity with the introduction of its official mascot – MARGO! This exciting new symbol is set to become a recognizable face of the city, promoting tourism and fostering a sense of pride among residents.
MARGO’s name is a clever combination, drawing inspiration from the majestic Margalla Hills that frame Islamabad and the concept of “Go,” signifying the city’s constant progress and prosperity.
Taking the form of a cheetah (or Asian leopard cat), MARGO embodies the city’s dynamism and swift development. But MARGO isn’t your average cheetah! This stylish mascot dons a pair of sunglasses and a muffler, reflecting the cosmopolitan spirit and modern outlook of Islamabad.
More Than Just a Mascot:
MARGO’s presence is intended to go beyond mere entertainment. The mascot will be displayed prominently at key locations throughout the city, including the Convention Centre, Pak China Centre, Daman-e-Koh entry points, parks, and business centers. This widespread visibility aims to make MARGO a symbol synonymous with Islamabad.
The hope is that MARGO will serve as a unifying force for Islamabad’s diverse population. By embodying the city’s collective aspirations and achievements, MARGO can foster a sense of civic pride among residents.

Tourism and Environmental Awareness:
Tourists visiting Islamabad can expect to see MARGO at various tourist spots. The mascot will be used not only to promote the city’s attractions but also to spread important messages about environmental responsibility, encouraging visitors to keep the city clean and protect its wildlife.
The arrival of MARGO marks a new chapter for Islamabad. This stylish cheetah mascot is poised to become a beloved icon, leaving a lasting impression on residents and visitors alike.
