INTERNATIONAL Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge gave his approval to a logo for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing Monday, saying the design, an elongated version of the five Olympic rings, was "young and dynamic."

Rogge said the logo for the Beijing Olympic Games "brought together the historical and cultural heritage, as well as the future of China."

The official unveiling of the logo will take place in Beijing May 25. The emblem was selected from among 2,000 entries.

Meanwhile, a nest-like architecture scheme for the main stadium of the 2008 Olympics was pre-approved by the Beijing public during a design show in Beijing, beating the other two favorites by a small margin.

The plan, co-designed by Swiss company Herzog & DeMeuron and China Architecture Design Institute, won 3,506 votes from the public to become the favorite design of the National Stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The design stood out with its unique nest-like exterior, which encloses the stadium with curved steel-net walls.

In a recent competition, it was one of the three winners picked from among 13 designs by an official evaluation panel.

The design submitted by the Beijing Architecture Design Institute won 3,472 votes while 3,454 votes went to the scheme from a consortium of Japanese AXS Company and Tsinghua University Architecture Design Institute.
