What Do the Olympic Rings Mean Along with the torch, few things represent the
pageantry and competition of the Olympics more universally than the five Olympic
rings. The multicolored pattern adorns both flags and official apparel. At that
time, Pierre de Coubertin, now known as "the father of the modern Olympic
games," doodled them at the top of a letter he wrote, coloring them in by hand.
When he first designed them, they were interlocking in one straight line, like a
chain, instead of the current formation of three on top, two on bottom. It took
seven more years for the rings to fly over the Olympic Games. Though de
Coubertin introduced them at the Olympic Congress in 1914, World War I forced
cancellation of the Games in 1916; the next games were christian

four years later in Antwerp, Belgium. The five
rings represent those five continents and, during a time of high tension among
many countries, were meant to promote peace and unity among the nations christian

of the world. The six colors used white for the
background, plus rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red were the only
colors found on the flags of the world. Any person or company wanting to use
them on a product or as part of a logo must get cheap christian

for example, the exact shades of yellow, green, blue, red and black to be used
are precisely specified.
