A simple white background symbolizes peace.
The five colors from left to right are: blue, black and red on the top, yellow and green on the bottom.
The Olympic rings represent five continents. Yellow is Asia, black is Africa, blue is Europe, red is America, and green is Oceania. The five rings are interlocking, symbolizing the unity of the people on five continents and inspiring the Olympic spirit!
The Olympic rings, also known as the Olympic rings, are blue, yellow, black, green and red from left to right. This logo was designed by Coubertin at the first modern Olympic Games. The original design idea was to summarize the colors of the national flags of member countries, but later there were other explanations for these five colors. In the Olympic Review (No.40) published in 1979, the International Olympic Committee emphasized that the meaning of the five rings is "symbolizing the unity of the five continents, and athletes from all over the world will gather at the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit".
The five rings represent five continents, the Olympic rings are a whole, Asia is yellow, Africa is black, Europe is blue, America is red and Oceania is green. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, and the five colors represent people of different colors on five continents. The five rings together represent that people from five continents can get along well.
The Olympic symbol is determined by the Olympic Charter. It consists of five Olympic rings. It can be monochrome, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The rings are nested from left to right, with blue, black and red rings above and yellow and green rings below. The overall shape is a regular trapezoid with a small bottom. The Olympic symbol symbolizes that athletes from five continents and all over the world gather at the Olympic Games, which fully embodies the content of Olympism and the theme of "Olympic family" of "all countries-all nationalities".
The Olympic logo was originally designed according to Coubertin's proposal in 19 13. At first, the International Olympic Committee used blue, yellow, black, green and red as the colors of the five rings, because it could represent the colors of the national flags of IOC member countries at that time. 19 14 at the Olympic plenary meeting held in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the revival of the Olympic Games, Mr. Coubertin expounded his logo design thought: "The five rings-blue, yellow, green, red and black-symbolize the five continents in the world that recognize the Olympic movement and are ready to participate in the Olympic Games, and the sixth color is white-the background color of the national flag, which means that, therefore, From the 7th Antwerp Olympic Games 1920, the blue, yellow, black, green and red in the five rings have become the symbols of five continents, representing Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America respectively.
With the passage of time and the development of the Olympic movement itself, the interpretation of the Olympic symbol has also changed.
According to 199 1 the latest edition of the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings not only symbolizes the unity of the five continents, but also emphasizes that all participating athletes should meet each other in a fair and frank sportsmanship.
Speaking of the origin of the five rings, there has been such an interesting story. 1936 1 1 The torch relay was held for the first time in Berlin Olympic Games. The torch relay route starts from Olympia, leaves northern Greece, crosses Austria along the Danube, and finally enters Germany. In order to set off this symbolic activity, Carl? 6? 1 Tim and his colleagues almost completely arranged the ancient Greek ruins along the way according to the scenes of the ancient Olympic Games. A special ceremony will be held when the torch arrives at the ancient sports ground in Panacas Mountain, Delphi. At this time, Tim had a whim, and designed and carved the five rings of the modern Olympic Movement on the four sides of a rectangular stone about 3 feet high, and put them on the starting line of the ancient sports ground. After the ceremony, the torch continued northward, but this stone as a prop was left in the ancient sports ground.
Because few people know the true identity of this stone engraved with five rings (later called "dim stone"), it has been regarded as "the remains of the ancient Olympic Games with a history of 3,000 years" for a long time. It was not until the 1960s that Greek officials in Delphi pointed out this mistake. 1972 In May, this fake cultural relic was sent to another place in Delphi-the entrance of Rome Square.
In fact, the five-ring symbol of the modern Olympic movement comes from Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Coubertin thought that the Olympic movement should have its own logo, and this idea lingered in his mind for a long time. 19 13, he finally conceived and designed the five-ring logo and the Olympic flag printed with five rings on a white background, and planned to launch this logo on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the International Olympic Committee.
1965438+June 2004/kloc-0 ~ May 23rd, the International Olympic Committee held a congress at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee. At the commemorative meeting, Coubertin took out his five-ring logo and a flag printed with the five rings for everyone to show, and suggested that they should be used as symbols of the Olympic Movement. After listening to Coubertin's explanation of the five-ring symbol, the meeting decided to use the Olympic rings and the Olympic flag as the Olympic symbols.
The Olympic five-ring symbol is made up of five Olympic rings nested from left to right, which can be monochrome, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The original explanation was that the five colors represented the colors of national flags, and later the five rings with different colors were interpreted as symbols of the five continents.
The Olympic flag is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide with a white background, which symbolizes purity. Blue, yellow, black, green and red are interlocking. 19 14, the Olympic flag was raised for the first time at the Olympic Games held in Paris. 1920, the Olympic flag flew for the first time at the Summer Olympic Stadium in Antwerp. After this Olympic Games, the Belgian Olympic Committee presented the same national flag to the International Olympic Committee, which was hung during the Olympic Games and then customized. At the opening ceremonies of previous Olympic Games, the flag was handed over by the last host city and kept by the host city. During the competition, only substitutes were hung in the main stadium. 1952, Oslo presented the flag of the International Olympic Committee for the Winter Olympics, which was handed over, preserved and used in the same way as the Summer Olympics.
1June, 979, the International Olympic Committee officially announced the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings: according to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings is: symbolizing the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit at the Olympic Games.
