Medali Olimpiade Beijing 2008
Medali Olimpiade Beijing 2008 didesain dengan inspirasi dari "bi" yaitu batu jade pipih dengan lobang di tengah bergambar naga (seperti donat tapi pipih) yang berasal dari kebudayaan China kuno. Medali terbuat dari emas (perak dan perunggu) dan batu jade, menyimbolkan kejayaan dan kebaikan serta sebagai perwujudan nilai-nilai tradisional China atas etika dan kehormatan, serta kekuatan citarasa China.
Medali tersebut memiliki diameter 70milimeter dan ketebalan 6milimeter. Di bagian depan mengadopsi desain standar dari International Olympic Committee. Sedangkan di bagian belakang bertatahkan batu jade dengan logo Beijing Games terukir di bagian tengah metalnya. Gantungan medali terinspirasi dari "huang" yaitu ornamen setangah lingkaran yang biasa terdapat pada batu jade dengan dekorasi 2 naga serta "pu" yaitu tatahan pola bambu.
Bernilai seni tinggi dan elegan, Medali Beijing Olympic Games merupakan campuran kebudayaan tradisional China dengan semangat Olimpiade. Medali ini akan memberikan kehormatan tertinggi kepada pemenang - sang juara - di Olimpiade, serta sambutan dan pengakuan atas pencapaian kemenangan tersebut.
