(Won’t recognize a big difference between 2000 and 2008).as in 2008 design and as I have interest in the Chinese culture, once I saw the design if Beijing 2008, I was sure that there were some sort of mark as usual, actually I have asked my Chinese friend if the running player in the design has any meaning in Chinese language - Chinese words are drawings- , at first she said know, I asked her to have a good look again at it, and she said yes there is!
the running player in the Chinese Beijing 2008 this year has a synonym with the word (   文   ) which means civilization , or cutler ... adding the red color in the background , the answer is the RED NATION :P.I like the colors of the 2012 London design, it reminds me with old 8-bit DOS GAMES!, I hope it’s political free!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s interesting how this post shows how &#8216;kind of&#8217; skills and technique development and the culture of the host country can reflect on the design and colors, it also shows that 1936-1948 , no Olympic were held because of WWII, it seemed after that, colors and signs are used to symbolize cultures, nations and/or an Ideology; For Example in 1980 and 1984, Olympics were held in USSR and USA in sequence , if you look at the design, both had included a political mark on it, both had put stars with different colors, a notation for their ideology..</p><p>It’s also remarkable that how rapid development in Computer Graphic software’s helps in polishing the designs as the big difference in 1992 Barcelona, Spain and 2000 in Sydney Australia.
