Two years to the opening, the pictograms of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games are out. I liked them more of those of Athens 2004 and Sydney 2000, but not much more than the ones used in Atlanta 1996.

I love the Beijig ones too…they look similar to the chinese way of writing.
Mansur
Actually, Sidi Mansur, they are intentionally similar to the Chinese way of writing – the Chinese character for big, enormous, important (Cantonese pronunciation: Taai) is exactly that glyph, minus the bow and arrow, of course.
Three strokes, originally in cursive script, representing a human with legs apart, arms spread out. As one would have when telling someone else about the fish that got away: ‘the fish was THIIIIS big!’.
I LOVE BEIJINGS ONE TOO MEGAN THINKS IT ROCKS
