On April 26 2008, the Olympic Frame torch relay was held in Nagano in Japan. The theme of the event was " Journey of Harmony,"and the slogan was " Light the Passion Share the Dream." The runners were chosen from citizens who applied, past Olympic athletes, TV talents, and famous retired professional sports players . The oldest runner was Shigeharu Yamagishi, 76 years old, and the youngest runners were Mikiko Arai and Shota Nakayama, 14 years old. The course contained sightseeing spots in Nagano and Olympic athletic facilities which were used for Nagano winter Olympic. The logo mark of the Olympic Frame torch relay was designed with an inspiration of traditional Chinese idea of "phoenix of flame." It imagines two runners carry the Flame. In ancient China, phoenix was symbols of luck, eternity, noble blood, and happy. China has intent to hope happiness for all people in China and the world throughout the torch relay by using the logo with phoenix. What do you think of the logo?
