Torch design for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing

The committee behind the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, has selected a torch design by China-headquartered PC manufacturer Lenovo as the model for the games’ iconic torch.
According to Lenovo, the torch design took ten months and was the product of more than 30 engineers and design specialists. The end result, called “The Cloud of Promise,” incorporates elements of both modern design and traditional Chinese culture. It’s modeled off the design of a scroll and is decorated with red lacquer and cloud motifs derived from Chinese art traditions.
