Olympic Rings Logo | Symbol of Global Unity and the Olympic Movement #2207803 (License: Personal Use)

The Olympic rings consist of five interlocking circles-blue, yellow, black, green, and red-on a white background, designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1913. Each ring represents one of the five inhabited continents, and their interlocking form signifies global unity and the meeting of athletes worldwide. The colors were chosen because at least one appears in every national flag at the time of creation.
