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.

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.
