why do we have 5 circles in Olympic symbol?

it goes something like this...\n\n"These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents. They appear in five colors on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colors, white (for the field), red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen such that each nation had at least one of these colors in its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown were Antwerp, 1920. It is hoisted at each celebration of the Games."

It is a symbol of the band HIM, they created it themselves. My guess would be that if you can find info on the band HIM then you will probably find why they created it and use it.  What it represents to them.

The colour makeup of the stars (which represent the points of the southern cross) reflects that of the Union Jack. Red interior with white borders on a blue background.\n\nIf you refer back to the maritime origins of the NZ flag you will see that this has invariably been the case. Prior to the current flag, there was a flag that included the letters NZ in the bottom right hand corner (no stars); these letters were also in red with a white border. Additionally, a prior 'signalling' flag consisted of four red stars on a white disc.

Well, I can't draw it online, but it would have a color from every counrty [sort of like the Olympic Rings symbol has] because America is a melting pot of nationalities. I would try to make the stars do an outline of the US on the field [the blue part] with the red stripes remaining as is. The stars would be different colors.

Ten. It's greek and means "ten angles", so that there are also ten sides.

Circles are a symbol of something that has no begining or end.  \nIt can symbolize forever.  That's how friendship ideally will be.\n\nIn many pagan rituals groups of friends would circle in a dance, hand in hand.  This image comes to mind when I think of circle of friends...that and Edie Brickell's "Circle of Friends" song.\n\nWomen also used to join social groups called "Circles" back in the days when they didn't work.  They were church related.  I thinking quilting circles existed too.   \n\nThis could be a dissertation if you did the research. Be kind of interesting.

the 5 points of the pentacle stand for the 5 elements - earth, air, fire, water and spirit. the spirit always points up, it is the most important. the circle around them is to protect them from evil.\n\nthere is nothing evil about the pentacle, as christians and muslims conquered the world they attempted to remove symbols of old religion, they did so by telling people that those symbols were those of evil. this occured not only to the pentacle but also the ankh of isis and many other symbols.\n\nThey cannot stand for the devil in ancient times, since the devil was first mentioned in the bible, and the bible did not exist in ancient times.  Recent people who has become anti-christian and claim to worship the devil have twisted and perverted the symbol and turned it upside down and claimed it as thier own.

Do your own homework kid.  No wonder the rest of the world laughs at the American education system.\n\nI can't tell you what the symbol is.  I don't have the map from your textbook sitting in front of me...which you should.  All maps are different, and the symbols are different from map to map.  \n\nThere is a difference between helping with questions you don't understand or can't solve and doing the work for you.

The cross symbol could denote matter, and the u shaped symbol could be denoting a boat or a convergence.  Perhaps it is simply stating that the can is a conveyance of matter?  OR it is saying the can is a matter boat.\n\nA more practical approach might be that it is simply an attention seeking, mnemonic activating device for marketing purposes.

The reason is so that racers are crossing the field of vision going left to right, which is standard convention for western societies (just like reading). BTW, counter-clockwise is the standard in Europe as well as for the Olympics (a European invention) and only the kooky British drive on the right side of the road while the rest of Europe is on the right like us.

There were 5 Platonic solids. This sort of geometry became somewhat sacred to Pythagoreans etc.

It's the symbol for the punk rock band Black Flag. Four rectangles, the 1st and 3rd high, the second and fourth low. Makes him ever more ME-OW to me!

It is to help with the offside calls.\n\nAs noted by at least one, usually a lot of fields use different designs for purely aesthetic reasons, including circles, diamonds, etc.   As you've noticed, there has been a marked lack of variety in the field designs for the World Cup.  Only the striped patterns are used.

it's an icon of greatness.....it shows that you're at the pinnacle of your sport, only the best of the best are able to even try out to qualify for the olympics much less make it to the podium stand. On top of that, you're doing it for your country, so it stands for a lot of pride as well.
