The Olympic Rings are the one symbol that is now synonymous with the Olympic
Games. Designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, they symbolise the five
continents of Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. No one colour
represents any one continent. However, the colours are significant in that
every country who is part of the Olympic Family has one of these colours,
including the white background, in their national flag.
<p>The Olympic Rings are seen as the most potent of all global marketing
symbols. In a survey conducted by Sponsorship Research International,
in 1996, 78% of the world's population recognised the Olympic Rings and
their significance to the Olympic Movement. This percentage topped the
listing ahead of the symbols of Shell, McDonalds, Mercedes and the Red
Cross.<br>
