The Chicago’s logo for its 2016 Summer Olympic Games bid was unveiled by Olympic gold medallists Jackie Joyner Kersee and Rowdy Gaines.The logo is described as a compass pointing in all directions reaching out to the world. The bands of colour radiating up and down from the star reflect both the dynamic architecture of our city and the beautiful character of our parks and lakes.They also symbolize our desire to reach out to the world and offer many paths to the Games.
