This was probably the best set of Olympic pictograms. It represented culture and was universally understood.

[@pradeepkumarpradhan338]

3:07 what a statement

[@b14salvadicomarkarthore.20]

HAHAHAHHA

[@minilroy8774]

For me Beijing was the best Olympics in every aspect..!!! Simply love this.

[@abdullakc]

best olympic designs ever olympics 2008!

[@GW-tr8xn]

Anyone noticed that the sample gold medal was carved with the name of Liu Xiang (the gold medalist of 110m hurdling at the 2004 Olympics )? Breaking the world record in 2006, he is expected to win again in 2008 Olympics. Sadly, he suffered from a serious injury enforcing him to withdraw at the preliminary round...

[@heeroyuynewtype]

Yup. Liu Xiang was an icon during the days, likely second to Yao Ming.

[@agustingomez1590]

Wow! Beijing 2008 really killed it.

[@ninjagous]

My favourite Olympic design!

[@oscarchacalnerd4108]

Jade is important for mexican prehispánic culture and chinese culture, for both, that its amazing and very strange by the great distance that separates them!

[@natasya0618]

Waiting for Beijing 2022 concept.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

It would be great if they just reused what they already did in 2008 but with a winter theme and maybe the original FUWA mascots Biebei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini but in winter garb

[@ivanhoesanchez2606]

Yes

[@leap541]

It's very similar, the pictograms are like the '08 ones but with winter sports

[@MrDelvoye]

Im not fan of this logo

[@hcrdfju4954]

MrDelvoye this logo is the chinese character 京 (jing in beijing,bei=north,jing=capital),and “beijing 2008” is using chinese calligraphy instead of European calligraphy.

[@mikenealon4042]

i liked the beijing 2008 candidate city phase logo more...beijing 2000's too.
