The
2008 Olympic Logo Of Beijing - Paralympics 2008 Logo
Being the host of the 2008 Olympic
Games has opened (and will open) many doors for the
people of China. It is a time of great focus on the
cultures and people of China. This said, the emblem
for the representation of the Olympic Games had to
be something that symbolizes the long traditional
culture of Beijing and China while being exciting
and welcoming as well. It is said that this emblem
of the Olympics will be one of the most powerful graphic
identities of all Olympic history when all is said
and done. It has action, colour, simplicity, and quick
recognition.
But, what is it? The emblem itself
is called, “Dancing Beijing” It is a red
Chinese seal that features a white outline of a lively
graceful dancing figure inside. This simple but very
effective look will represent many things for those
in China. It has various elements within it including
the traditional Chinese culture as well as Olympic
prestige and spirit. You can see the Beijing Olympics
Emblem here and below is more about its meaning.
The overall image is said to be a
conveyance of a message of hope to the world. It is
an invitation of sorts, to be a part of the history
of Beijing as well as being part of its future. It
is said to celebrate the very spirit of sport. The
figure has open arms and in those arms is said to
be the spirit of China opening its doors to the world
and all of humanity. In fact, the red seal that is
on the emblem will be the prominent color. It also
has a lightness and a feeling of joie de vivre. The
Olympics 2008 This will mark the first time in history
that red is the dominate color of the
Olympic emblem. In China, red is quite an important
color. It is a symbol of history and the current Chinese
culture and fits to the theme of the Beijing Olympics
- one world, one dream - tor the best ever Olympic
Game. London
2012 has adopted a very different logo for their
Olympic games.
The Paralympics Beijing 2008 has a
separate logo, equally appealing. It is colourful
and simple. It represents an athlete in action and
gives a underlying indication of the endurance and
effort of competing. Here you can see the Paralympic
Emblem 2008
