The Olympic CircleYou might be referring to the Olympic symbol. It was made up of five Olympic rings, which could be in one color, blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The rings were interconnected from left to right. The top was blue, black, and red, and the bottom was yellow and green. The entire shape was a regular echelon with a small bottom.
The Olympic symbol symbolized the gathering of athletes from all over the world and the five continents at the Olympic Games, which fully embodied the content of Olympiad. The logo first appeared in 1913 and was hand-drawn by Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. In the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, the Olympic flag designed by Coubertin was first raised. In the second Winter Olympics in 1928, the Olympic five rings logo first appeared in the poster form of the emblem design. In 2010, with the approval of the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic five rings officially returned to the seamless design of the past. On September 28,2022, the International Olympic Committee announced a new visual identification system, which was completed in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
There were many rules in terms of design. For example, no illustrations, pictures, or videos could be placed on the Olympic rings. When the Olympic rings were in the same color as the background image, there must be sufficient contrast.(The minimum value is 50%, except when the Olympic rings are engraved on glass, or appear as watermarks on pictures or videos); The Olympic rings must not change the official color or color order in any way. They must maintain the form of three above and two below. They cannot be rotated or inverted, or rotated in flat or three-dimensional views. The width of the full-color and single-color versions must not be less than 8 mm/30 px. The background must ensure the greatest visibility. The Olympic rings could be in one of the six official colors in the "quiet area" and must ensure sufficient contrast. The background must not include elements such as lines or patterns that change the perception of the Olympic rings. In different Olympic Games, the five Olympic rings were displayed in a unique way. For example, in the Athens Olympic Games, the five Olympic rings burned fiercely when the fire seeds fell into the water; in the London Olympic Games, the five rings were slowly lifted into the air and gathered together; in the Rio Olympics, the seeds grew into towering trees to form the five rings of the forest; in the Sochi Olympic Games, the five rings turned into snowflakes; and in the Beijing Olympic Games, the starlight gathered into the five rings from the plane to the three-dimensional.

Olympic Spirit 2024In 2024, the Olympic spirit was still reflected in "faster, higher, stronger and more united". For example, in June 2024, Mengniu cooperated with the official Weibo of the International Olympic Committee to jointly launch the Olympic Spirit Video Exhibition. With the theme of "The Olympic Spirit not only belongs to the champion, but also to every strong person", it was composed of athletes, celebrities and ordinary people's sports moments, vividly explaining the story of pursuing the Olympic spirit. This activity widely collected online video works about the Olympics and captured the Olympic spirit in daily life with the lens. At the same time, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 - 2025 academic year, such as the opening ceremony of Shiqiao Primary School in Huiji District with the theme of "The Olympic spirit is always accompanied by the youth's vitality", it also actively promoted the Olympic spirit, encouraged people to learn from the Olympic champions, deeply planted the feelings of home and country, and started a new journey with full enthusiasm.
