Paralympic Games - 2012 Paralympic Symbol (Three Agitos) at The Mound |
|
The Mound |
|
Paralympic Symbol After the Olympic Games in London came to an end in mid-August 2012, the Olympic Rings were removed from their position on the mound and replaced by the symbol (below) for the Paralympic Games - three agitos*, coloured red, blue and green. These colours and the white background that they usually appear against are the most common colours seen on flags around the world. * Agito ('I move' in Latin) = a symbol of movement in the shape of an asymmetrical crescent. |
