    The question on everybody's lips right now in Beijing is what will the logo look like? Well, we can't show you yet, because we ourselves don't know. But we can tell you what the lucky ones involved in tonight's event are saying.

    "What I can say is, it's definitely made in China, the creation of a design company based in Beijing, host city for the games," said Sun Weijia, spokesman of Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games.

    "It's a very nice logo. It has a strong flavor of Chinese culture," commented Liu Qi, president of Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games.

    According to a member of the review committee, "The logo gives you a sense of well-being, which mirrors the spirit of sport."

    "It combines the Olympic spirit and Chinese traditional culture," said Zhang Yimou, director of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games promotion.

    According to Sun Weijia, "Mr. Hein Verbruggen, president of the IOC Coordination Commission, loves it. He says it's very poetic."

    Liu Qi also said, "It really captures Chinese culture. It's full of passion. It's a breakthrough for Olympic logos."

    "I think the logo really captures the spirit of the 2008 games," said a member of the review committee.
