Los Angeles 1932 Emblem 洛杉矶奥运五环登上会徽

Berlin 1936 Emblem 柏林纳粹猖獗奥运受辱
It was created purely by chance- an artist, Johannes Boehland, started by designing an emblem containing the five Olympic rings with a superimposed eagle and the Brandenburg Gate, one of the symbols of the city. However, the President of the Games Organising Committee, Dr Lewald, was not satisfied with this composition and took the initiative to open the bottom part of the emblem, which turned the design into a bell. Although it was purely by chance that it was created, the symbolism of this figure was immediately recognised.
1936年柏林奥运会也因此成为希特勒领导的纳粹宣扬雅利安种族优越性、粉饰战争企图的舞台。会徽中，一只纳粹党徽上的普鲁士鹰昂然站立在被扭曲的奥运五环之上，象征着德意志帝国绝对的霸权与征服。在鹰与五环的外围，设计师本来以柏林标志的勃兰登堡门作为装饰，但奥运组委会高层并不喜欢拱门的开放底部，强行要求设计师更改设计。最后，一只奥林匹克钟取代了勃兰登堡门，钟的边缘部分用德文写道：“我召集全世界的年轻一代”，昭示了德国法西斯借奥运会向全世界宣扬纳粹思想的险恶用心。
London 1948 Emblem 伦敦战争影响奥运倒退
It is composed of the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament. The hands of the famous "Big Ben" are pointing to 4 o'clock, the time at which the opening of the Games was planned.

The Games Organising Committee wanted a typically English emblem, but one that would have significance not only for the generation of that time, but for future generations as well.
1940年和1944年两届奥运会受第二次世界大战的影响而停办，在12年的等待后，来自世界各地的运动员在1948年相聚伦敦。著名的“大本钟”取代了巴黎市徽，奥运五环标志似乎是这届会徽惟一的现代象征。在会徽上，大本钟的指针指向4点钟，这也是本届奥运会的开幕时间。

In the bottom half, the inscription "MELBOURNE 1956", extended on each side by laurel branches. 1956年，奥运会首次来到南半球，在澳大利亚的墨尔本举行。椭圆形跑道的会徽造型突破了以往会徽的矩形边框，鲜亮的绿色透露出勃勃生机。在橄榄枝花环的映衬下，奥林匹克的圣火在澳洲大陆上点燃，在奥林匹克五环下燃烧。 Rome 1960 Emblem 罗马母狼养育罗马国王 It is made up of the Olympic rings above a Roman she-wolf, from which Remus and Romulus are suckling.

It recalls the patterns of the Huichole Indians. 本届奥运会会徽设计出自一个3个团队之手。设计师在会徽的造型上借鉴了墨西哥古代雕刻的线条排列方法，使会徽在最现代的表现手法深层也带有浓郁的地域文化韵味，这种手法最直接地宣告了本届奥运会的举办地。 Munich 1972 Emblem 慕尼黑无限“宇宙”透出新意 It represents a crown of rays of light, a design symbolizing the spirit of the Munich Games- light, freshness, generosity, expressed by the design "Radiant Munich".
