Olympic Rings Infography – Illustrate inequalities between continents with the Olympic rings


Artists, ,

With “Olympic Rings Infography“, the artist Gustavo Sousa used the famous symbol of the Olympics to illustrate the inequalities between continents, simply by varying the size of the rings based on different statistics: the infant mortality rate, number of prisoners, CO2 emissions, number of TV per capita, etc. Striking. Legend: blue for Oceania, black for Europe, red for America, yellow for Africa and green for Asia.

    The colours are wrong. Black is Africa and Yellow is Asia.

     Actually you’re wrong since 1951 : “As can be read in the Olympic Charter,
    the Olympic symbol represents the union of the five regions of the
    world and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the
    Olympic Games. However, no continent is represented by any specific
    ring. Prior to 1951, the official handbook stated that each colour
    corresponded to a particular continent: blue for Europe, yellow for
    Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for America
    (North and South considered as a single continent); this was removed
    because there was no evidence that Coubertin had intended it.”

    Théoriquement c’est faux en effet, mais le code couleur utilisé ici se base à l’évidence sur les couleurs des continents acceptées dans la croyance populaire. Et de ce point de vue là, Virginiaginger a tout a fait raison, le jaune et le noir devraient être inversés sinon ça n’a aucun sens.
