The emblem used in Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games is a dynamic Tai Chi pusher, which has become a five-color Chinese knot, full of tension and enthusiasm. This is an excellent emblem, which has won the love of the whole world. When the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee held the emblem design competition, some people proposed to use the emblem of the Olympic bid directly as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, but this idea was not realized in the end.

Jiang Xiaoyu, vice chairman of BOCOG, explained that different emblems have different tasks at different historical stages. First, according to international practice, there has never been an Olympic Games that directly used the emblem of the Olympic bid as the Olympic Games emblem, which is an unwritten practice; Secondly, it will bring great difficulties to the market development plan and intellectual property protection of the Olympic Organizing Committee, because the sponsors who host and bid for the Olympic Games are not exactly the same; Third, all cities want to show their charm and wisdom. Beijing has an excellent Olympic bid emblem, and it can also design an equally wonderful Olympic emblem, which is the requirement of hosting the Olympic Games and an opportunity to show China's civilization and wisdom, so it is necessary to design a better emblem.
