亞運志愿者中已悄然出現“徽章熱”，并涌現出許多以收集、交換徽章為樂的“徽章控”。亞運志愿者“徽章熱”作為一種志愿文化現象，展現了亞運會志愿者熱情積極的服務面貌，同時也體現了志愿者激勵方式的生動有效。
據了解，亞運志愿者徽章的派發是以“亞運志愿時”積分為基礎的。亞運志愿者通過團隊考勤在“亞運志愿時”系統登記自己的服務時間，按照1小時1分積累志愿時積分，系統還根據志愿者不同的服務職責制定了相關的系數，換算出志愿者各自的志愿時積分。亞運志愿者累積一定的志愿時積分，便可以換取相應的亞運志愿者徽章。
除了亞組委志愿者部統一設計制作的亞運志愿者徽章外，各場館也紛紛發動高校師生設計制作各具特色的場館徽章，更是對志愿者徽章潮流起到了“推波助瀾”的作用。
Volunteer badges are growing increasingly hot among Asian Games volunteers. Wherever you meet them, you can see volunteer badges on the strings of their Asian Games Identity and Accreditation Card, their chest or even their sleeves.
The Asian Games volunteer badges are distributed on a basis of a point redemption scheme of volunteering service hours as volunteers can redeem one service hour for one point. Different service responsibilities have different coefficients. When the points reach 100, 200 and 300, volunteers are eligible for a bronze badge, silver badge and gold badge respectively. For higher points of 400, a medal of sun will be awarded.
"Asian Games volunteering service hours in combination with volunteers badges, serving as an evaluation, management and inspiration system, do encourage volunteers to a great extent. They love the badges very much," an official from the Volunteers Department of the Guangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee (GAGOC) said.
"The attendance machine is a cutting-edge gadget, which provides a sound basis for city volunteer management," Huang Haitian, Deputy Head of the Asian Games city volunteer service stations in Yuexiu Park told the reporter. Only core volunteers can start the attendance-checking machine and a slip with accurate service hours will be printed out. Since November 5, the system for Asian Games volunteering service hours have already been applied for city volunteers working in the 600 Asian Games city volunteer service stations.
An Asian Games volunteer can receive a colourful service medal for his/her two days' service and an Asian Para Games volunteer can get one for one day's service. Each volunteer can get 7 medals at most.
Asian Games volunteer Wei Zheyu, a student from Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University, told that she has collected 43 volunteer badges for her 17-day Games service.
Chen Bohong, an Asian Games volunteer, said: "The badges can trigger our interest and sense of honour in volunteering services. It is a proof of our hard work."
Apart from the volunteer badges designed by the GAGOC Volunteers Department, many venues also encourage teachers and students from universities to design badges for each venue of different styles, boosting popularity of volunteer badges.
