The theme slogan "Sharing Spirit" of the 27th Summer Olympic Games was put forward by Sydney in 1992. At that time, Sydney was bidding for the 27th Summer Olympic Games. This slogan actually first appeared as a bidding slogan. Through this slogan, Sydney tries to embody the characteristics and ideals of the Olympic spirit enjoyed by the whole world, and also tries to inspire and set off the upsurge of Sydney and Australians applying for hosting the Olympic Games as an invitation to people all over the world to participate in and share the Sydney Olympic Games. This slogan was used from the Olympic bid to the end of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Amazingly, since Sydney's bid for the Olympic Games, "sharing spirit" has almost become the spiritual leader of the Sydney Summer Olympic Games. Inspired and promoted a series of activities such as visual design and image promotion of the Sydney Olympic Games, and made great contributions to shaping the overall image of the Sydney Olympic Games. At the same time, it also makes the world sigh!
The mascots of the 27th Olympic Games are three unique animals in Australia, representing the sky, water and land of Australia. They are Ollie, the kookaburra, Sid, the platypus, and the ant-eating echidna.
