Beijing 2008 Olympic Emblem Unvieled Yes, I like it very much. I also think that it looks like a personal stamp that Chinese artists use to imprint (similar as signing by the artists from the West) on their paintings. As others have stated. It combines several things into one simple yet complex symbol. It's simple that a child can easily draw this, whether he/she knows Chinese character or not. It's complex (a running man which represents an athlete, red colour and stone represents Chinese culture, it also shaped as a personal stamp, and the Chinese character "Jing"=”city”, is "Beijing", or in ancient time, this "city" character has a "capital" sense, as “Jingdu” rather just any city) and because it's kind of having a mini-story built-in, which adults will find it interesting to explain to their children or tell them as a short story. Genius!!! Ottawa CANADA |
