What are they saying about new emblem
Jacques Rogge, IOC president:
Within a few short years, the emblem we unveil here tonight will become one of the most visible and recognized marks in the world.
Your new emblem immediately conveys the awesome beauty and power of China that is embodied in your heritage and your people. It clearly said that Beijing would put its focus on the performer, on the athletes and artists and volunteers who join this great journey to the Games.
As this new emblem becomes known around the world and as it takes its place at the centre of your Games, we are confident that it will achieve the stature of one of the best and most meaningful symbols in Olympic history.
