Olympic Symbolism: Interlaced Rings and Beyond
History and Design of the Olympic Rings
The Olympic symbol, widely recognized as the Olympic rings, is a visual representation of the Olympic movement and the spirit of global unity. Designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1912, the interlaced rings symbolize the union of the five continents: Africa, Asia, America, Europe, and Oceania.
Variations on the Olympic Theme
While the Olympic rings remain the primary symbol of the games, several companies and organizations have successfully incorporated the Olympic name into their branding. For example, Olympic Paint features a paintbrush-shaped torch in its logo, and there have been various iterations of the Olympic mascot.
