The Associated Press reports Rio 2016 organizers have selected the logo for the
2016 Summer Olympic Games, but the winning logo won't be unveiled until an
official ceremony New Year's eve on Copacabana beach.
The logo's design was chosen from eight finalists Thursday and will now be sent
to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for approval.
Carlos Arthur Nuzman, Rio 2016 president, said "a historic" phase of the Games
has been concluded and that the logo will be successful and "please all".
Twelve judges, including Nuzman, selected by Rio 2016, took part in the process.
