The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games unveiled its new logo Thursday - the five Olympic rings and the numeral 100 forming a torch with red and orange flames topped with three multicolored stars - for the 1996 Summer Olympics.

At the bottom of the rectangular emblem are the words, ``Atlanta 1996.''

ACOG chief Billy Payne said the new trademark symbolizes the centennial of the modern Olympics and the city's vitality.

Banners bearing the new logo were set up at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, City Hall, Underground Atlanta as well as on utility poles on streets throughout the city on Thursday.

Designed by San Francisco-based Landor Associates, the logo will make its international debut during the closing ceremonies of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

It replaces the five-A's logo, which was used during the city's three-year bid to host the 1996 Olympics.
