The 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics' emblem is a stylized, pentagon-shaped,
snowflake and/or maple leaf, made up of five large and five small letters of
"C" to symbolize the country of Canada and the city of Calgary, above the
Olympic rings.
Sylvain "Sly" Houde, 16 July 2008
According to a photo I have the rings are in their five colors, instead all red. Two registered marks
are also part of the flag (one below the emblem, left part; other below the
rings, right part; both in red).
