Every Olympic host city has their own logo, which is used on everything from t-shirts to television coverage. Generally the city has one logo for the bid process and another final logo for the actual games. Most pins made for a particular games contain the final logo.

The Atlanta commemorative set mentioned previously included four pins with the Atlanta games logo. Each differed from the others primarily in color. This one has the dark green background commonly seen with Atlanta pins and other memorabilia. This pin also has a recessed flame design atop the stylized torch. |

Like dark green, white was also used frequently on Atlanta Olympic items. This pin is identical to the one above, except in the background color and the fact that the flame design is not recessed. |
|
This attractive gold pin has the same Atlanta logo, but with the shiny gold design in relief on a textured background. The scanner did a poor job of capturing this pin's brilliance. |
|
Another green background pin, this one is slightly larger by virtue of a border in which is written, above and below the logo, "Authentic Olympic Games Collection." Like the other green logo pin above, the flame design is recessed. |
