Olympic posters are considered a major vehicle to spread information on the Olympic movement and convey the Olympic spirit through Olympic symbols, mascots, sports, venues and other elements.
Approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the posters will be published by the Beijing-based New Media Research Center Co., Ltd. in cooperation with the Beijing Newspaper Group. On April 17, 2008, the research center signed an agreement with the IOC on the matter.
The publishers promised to donate 30,000 copies of posters featuring Beijing Olympic mascots to schools in the earthquake-devastated areas in southwestern China.
