Olympic torch design

The torch, fashioned from a polished aluminum-magnesium alloy, measures 720 millimeters x 50 mm x 40 mm and is exceptionally lightweight at about 1,000 grams.

Additional features of the torch design include:

• Primary coloring of deep red and bright silver, a fusion of traditional Chinese art and contemporary design, blending symbols of Chinese culture, philosophy and art;
• A handle designed not only for comfort, but to emulate the unique sensation of one hand holding another thanks to a coating of rubber-based paint; and
• An embossed pattern of clouds, which represent the ever-developing Chinese culture.
