What is the meaning of the Olympic rings logo?
August 31, 2008 
The five rings represent the continents of the Americas (North and South), Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The rings are interlaced to show the coming together or meeting of the continents at the Olympics.
The logo was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, in 1913. He said of the design:
"The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914, five intertwined rings in different colours - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition."
