Olympic symbol:

The Olympic Games has a series of unique and distinctive symbols, such as Olympic logo, motto, Olympic flag, anthem, emblem, medal and mascot. These signs have rich cultural connotations and vividly reflect the value orientation and cultural connotation of the Olympic ideal.

The Olympic five-ring symbol consists of five Olympic rings, with five colors: blue, black, red, yellow and green. The meaning of the five rings symbolizes the unity of the five continents and the gathering of athletes from all over the world in the Olympic Games with fair and frank competition and friendly spirit.

According to the Olympic Charter, the property rights of Olympic symbols, Olympic flag, Olympic motto and Olympic anthem belong to the exclusive rights of the International Olympic Committee. The IOC may take all appropriate measures to ensure that Olympic symbols, flags, aphorisms and songs are protected by law at home and abroad.

The top of the Olympic flag has three rings of blue, black and red, and the bottom has two rings of yellow and green.
