The official emblem was created by Vladimir Arsentyev. Above the Olympic rings we find parallel lines in the shape of a pyramid, and a five pointed2 star which serves as a reminder3 of the flag of the Kremlin.
repetition of the star shape connotes the spirit of competition between equally outstanding physical forms.
The Seoul emblem features a samtaeguk pattern. A samtaeguk is a traditional Korean pattern and visual image which represents Korea. This pattern is widely used as decoration on fans, gates of Korean-style homes, artefacts, and folk crafts. The Olympic emblem features patterns in two forms, centripetal8 and centrifugal; the centripetal motion represented the people of the world coming together in Korea, thus symbolising worldwide harmony, while the centrifugal motion represented a march onward9 in search of man's lasting10 happiness and prosperity.

The base of the torch mark logo, made of the five Rings and the number 100, resembles a classical Greek column and recognizes the centennial of the Games. The torch mark's flames gradually evolve into a perfect star symbolizing13 each athlete's pursuit of excellence. The gold colour in this logo represents gold medals. The green represents laurel branches worn by winners in ancient times, as well as Atlanta's reputation as the City of Trees.
colours of the harbour, beaches and red interior invoke14 the unique Australian landscape and its original inhabitants. The flash which transforms the silhouette15 of Sydney Opera House into a trail of smoke from an Olympic torch recalls the emblem of Sydney's Olympic candidature.
The 2004 Olympic Games emblem portrays16 an olive wreath, or kotinos, a branch from an olive tree intertwined in a circle.
