Olympic Rings Logo | Official Symbol of the Modern Olympic Games #2271893 (License: Personal Use)

The Olympic rings consist of five interlocking circles-blue, yellow, black, green, and red-set against a white or black background. Designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1913, the rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world at the Olympic Games. The colors were chosen because at least one of them appears in every national flag.
