Founded for over a dozen years, Gamania has continuously received support and help from the outside over the years which prompted it to think about establishing an integrated and organized institution to give back to the society and to fulfill its corporate social responsibility.

Before I get into the subject, I’d like to begin with a slogan from Nokia’s commercial, “Hunan Technology”. Through the design of emotion, a life-less product is given a friendly feeling, no longer a cold product or webpage. In fact, in the process of design, it does not always come from a brand new concept, on the contrary, we seek for something that is already rooted in people’s subconsciousness. I believe no one has ever taken a serious look at the footer on the webpage. Footer design is the most easily ignored or underestimated part of the webpage design.

For the longest time, the Olympic Games, held every four year, have been the heart of global attention.  All the best athletes gathered in one place, aiming to be faster, higher and stronger. It is a fight for the individual as well as the country. During the Olympics, the world seems to become ‘flat’, there is no time difference and no linguistic, cultural or ethnic barriers. All the audiences cheer for exceptional performances done by the athletes, regardless of winning.  Do you know that there are 76 countries in the world that have not won any single Olympic medal?

Sportsmanship of Olympics, the spirit of daring to challenge, fight and never give up and the pursuit of glory, are thoroughly embodied within each unit in Gamania.
