Nicest Olympic Logo So far

Since 1924, Olympic games are on! Every time, a new logo is designed, do you think the newest are the best? let's decide...

As a reminder: the symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field. This was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1912 edition of Revue Olympique:

The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914...: five intertwined rings in different colors - blue, yellow, black, green, and red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.

These five rings represent the five continents of the world: America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
