The Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and Asia are the five rings that represents the continents of the world by the people.

Exatly ! Designed by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern olympic games.

Very genuine iconic logo beyond a century.

I love how the olympics never went for skeuomorphism, and always stuck to it's minimal and simple routes. Because of that, even designs of olympics of decades past don't feel dated at all

[@NIDELLANEUM]

How would a skeuomorphic logo even look like? Seems kind of unimaginable

[@TusharSundarka]

@@NIDELLANEUM look at any company logo during the 2000s. They go overboard with reflections, shadows, glow effects, textures, etc and feel super dated

Cool, until they let dudes elbow their way into women's sports. Then you've lost a lot of people.
