The emblem of Zhengzhou Twin World Championships is themed of "The Center of Heaven and Earth," skillfully blending shapes and colors to vividly express the unique charm and boundless vitality of Zhengzhou. The primary design of the emblem is a character "中" (meaning "center"), which, through artistic manipulation, can also form the character "功" (meaning "achievement" or "skill"), highlighting Zhengzhou's reputation as a city of kung fu and branding it as "Kung Fu Zhengzhou." It showcases Zhengzhou's international status in the world while also evolving into the letter "Z," which is the first letter of Zhengzhou, symbolizing the thriving international city standing robustly in the heart of the Central Plains. Additionally, the character "中" resonates with Zhengzhou’s geographical location and historical culture. As one of Zhengzhou’s most prominent cultural symbols of Zhengzhou, it represents and embodies the image of Henan people and is a vivid manifestation of the Chinese spirit of righteousness, harmony and balance.

郑州双世锦赛会徽，以“天地之中”为主题，通过图形和颜色的巧妙融合，形象地表达了郑州的独特魅力和无限活力。标识的主要图形为一个“中”字，通过艺术化处理，亦可以组成功夫的“功”字，以功夫这张名片打响“功夫郑州”品牌，展现郑州之于世界的国际地位，还可演化为郑州首字母“Z”形，寓意着郑州这座欣欣向荣的国际之城，以蓬勃发展的姿态屹立于中原腹地。另外，“中”字也与郑州的地理位置和历史文化相呼应，“中”作为郑州最鲜明的文化标识之一，是河南人形象的代表和化身，也是中国人中正、中和精神追求的生动体现。

The emblem interprets "Zhengzhou Twin World Championships" through the use of the color "red, yellow, green, and blue." The red element highlights Zhengzhou's importance as a key birthplace of Chinese Kung Fu, rich in Kung Fu culture; the yellow one represents the color of the mother river -- the Yellow River, symbolizing the splendid Yellow River civilization; the green part reflects the green city of Zhengzhou, as well as representing the green and ecological theme of this competition; blue is the main color of the International Pentathlon Union, at the same time reflecting the openness and inclusiveness of Zhengzhou, symbolizing technology and wisdom. These bright and vibrant colors signify the prosperity, vitality, and hope of modern pentathlon. The overall design of the emblem is simple yet dynamic, interpreting the Olympic spirit of being “faster, higher, stronger, more united”.

会徽分别用“红色、黄色、绿色、蓝色”对“郑州双世锦赛”进行了诠释，红色元素则彰显了郑州作为中国功夫的重要发源地，拥有丰富的功夫文化；黄色为母亲河——黄河的代表色，寓意着辉煌灿烂的黄河文明；绿色部分体现了绿城郑州，同时也代表了本次大赛绿色、生态的主题；蓝色为国际五项联盟主色调，同时体现了郑州的开放包容，也寓意着科技和智慧。这些明亮且热烈的颜色寓意着现代五项运动的繁荣、活力和希望。标识的整体设计简洁而富有动感，诠释了“更快、更高、更强、更团结”的奥林匹克精神。
