Chinese handicraft pattern known as the "knot of one heart" or "Chinese
folk knot', using the typical colors of the five Olympic rings. The design
depicts a dynamic human figure in a stance that portrays someone doing

 北京29屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)的標(biāo)志也是北京奧申委的正式標(biāo)志，它是北京奧林匹克形象的核心部分，將成為奧運(yùn)史上最有活力的形象標(biāo)識(shí)之一。奧運(yùn)標(biāo)志“舞動(dòng)的北京”，具有豐富的文化內(nèi)涵，充分展示了2008北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)的主題。該標(biāo)志以獨(dú)特的、具有五千年歷史的中國(guó)印章篆刻和書(shū)法為手段，把中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)和現(xiàn)代奧林匹克精神結(jié)合起來(lái)。簡(jiǎn)潔的動(dòng)作線(xiàn)條勾勒出的動(dòng)態(tài)人物寓意一位跑步運(yùn)動(dòng)員沖向終點(diǎn)擁抱勝利的姿態(tài)，體現(xiàn)了奧林匹克“更快、更高、更強(qiáng)”的精神。構(gòu)成人物的筆畫(huà)與漢字“京”十分相象，用優(yōu)美的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)書(shū)法的獨(dú)特字體完成，它代表主辦城市——中國(guó)的首都北京。極具動(dòng)感的線(xiàn)條也可以詮釋為一名“舞者”，表現(xiàn)了13億中國(guó)人民辦好奧運(yùn)的心愿和歡迎世界各地來(lái)賓的一片熱忱。
The emblem of the XXIX Olympiad, which is also the
official emblem for BOCOG and a core element of Beijing's Olympic image
and look, is expected to become one of the most powerful graphic
identities in the history of the Olympic Games.The emblem of the 2008
Olympics, rich in culture and dubbed "Dancing Beijing", fully reflects the
theme of the Olympic Games to be held in 2008 in Beijing.The logo combines
Chinese traditional art with modern Olympic spirit by means of the unique
techniques of Chinese seal cutting and calligraphy, which have a history
of 5000 years.The simple gesture lines depict a stylized dynamic human
figure in a stance that suggests a racing athlete crossing the finish line
to embrace victory --- portraying the Olympic spirit of Citius, Altius,
Fortius (for Swifter, Higher, Stronger).The figure strokes resemble the
Chinese character "Jing" drawn in graceful Chinese calligraphy of a unique
style, which stands for the name of the host city --- the capital city of
China.The gesture lines can also be interpreted as a "dancing figure",
conveying the aspiration of the 1.3 billion Chinese people for the great
games and their enthusiasm for welcoming visitors from all over the
world. |
