With the London 2012 Olympic Games as inspiration I thought of putting together a list with all the Olympic Games logos ever designed, and here they are! I wasn’t able to find some logos, so if you know where the missing logos are please let me know and I’ll update the list.
One interesting thing to learn about the five-ringed Olympic Symbol is that it was conceived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games and it represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world in one sport event.
