Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic logos unveiled
The Kenjio Sano-designed 2020 Tokyo Olympics logos have been unveiled. The Japanese graphic designer and founder of Tokyo-based studio MR_DESIGN created both the Olympics and Paralympics logos, using a red circle in each to reference the Japanese flag. These form a pattern with blocks of grey and gold. Elements of the pattern are isolated to form a letter T for the Olympic logo – said to represent “Tokyo, Tomorrow and Team” – while the Paralympic logo uses those shapes to form a vertical equals sign.
A video has also been launched, showing how the logo can be used and modified over different applications.
