The mascot for the LA Olympics was designed by Walt Disney. The mascot wore the Olympic Rings around its neck, much like a medal, with a traditional Korean dance hat on its head. The name comes from 'Ho', which is derived from the Korean word for tiger, and 'Dori', which is a diminutive for boys in Korea.

The Seoul Olympics mascot was a little friendly tiger, which portrays the friendly and hospitable traditions of the Koreans.

The mascot for the Barcelona Games was a dog, which had its own specially produced TV series. It was given the name Izzy, derived from 'What is it?' because no one seemed to know exactly what it really was. The mascot of the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta was an abstract fantasy figure. 'Millie', an echidna, is a techno-whiz and information guru, with all the facts and figures at her fingertips. 'Syd', a platypus, represents the environment and captures the vigor and energy of Australia and its people. 'Olly', a kookaburra, epitomizes the Olympic spirit of generosity and universal generosity. Their names are short for Olympic, Sydney and Millennium. The three mascots from the Sydney Olympic Games are based on native Australian animals. They are named after two gods from Greek mythology: Phevos, the god of light and music, and Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of the city of Athens. One is colored deep yellow, the other in deep blue. They are called Athena and Phevos, and have whacking feet, longish necks and puny heads. The two mascots for the Athens Olympics are based on thousands of years old dolls found at archeological sites in Greece. Their five names together вЂ“ 'Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni' вЂ“ translates as вЂWelcome to BeijingвЂ™. There are five Olympic Mascots for Beijing 2008: Beibei (blue Fish), Jingjing (black Panda), Huanhuan (red Flame), Yingying (yellow Antelope) and Nini (green Swallow).

Their names derive from the 'Wenlock Games' and the 'Stoke Mandeville Games', early British inspirations for the current Olympics and Paralympics. These two playful cartoon animations were said to be created from the last drops of steel left over from the construction of the final support girder for the London Olympic Stadium. Wenlock (Olympic Games) and Mandeville (Paralympics) There is also a separate green leaf-haired Paralympic mascot called Tom, representing all of Brazil's plant species (see more about 2016 Mascots) He was named after the poet and bossa nova composer Vinicius de Moraes. Vinicius is a bright yellow and cat-like Olympic mascot, meant to represent a mix of all Brazilian animals. Vinicius (Olympic Games) and Tom (Paralympic Games) The paralympic mascot is a pink and white checked superhero named someity (pronounced soh-may-tee), the name derived from the cherry blossom someiyoshino and with hints of the english phrase 'so mighty.' The olympic mascot is a blue and white checked character called miraitowa (pronounced miray-towa), inspired by the combination of two japanese words: 'mirai', which means future and 'towa', which means eternity. They decided on two futuristic, superhero creatures, the blue Olympics mascot and pink Paralympics digitally designed creatures echo the country's anime obsession. Japanese school children voted for their favorite designs for mascots for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games from three shortlisted illustrations, and another vote was used to select names for them.
