I think it's simply a coincidence, being they both are meant to convey the "T" in a simple way.
I found this embroidery on Instagram. Get ready to see this on a lot of uniforms in 5 years!

Will Munich Host The 2022 Games? I'll Post More Once I Can Confirm This.
No, they wont.

They've been fine for 50 years without a roof at all on the stadium, so a retractable roof was never necessary. There are several venues for concerts and such in the Tokyo area, so they don't need to spend extra for something they don't really need.
-
I found this while browsing the internet, and its style is similar to something I would personally like to see in 2020. Really, something basic would be just right. This design itself is too small (I think it states that the capacity is 40k), but it's a starting point approaching the new competition this fall.

The pictures are backwards, oops. The bottom one is the session room, the top one is the presentation room.

I wrote this response in SSC when someone posted the same thing.
In a way they are right, but at the same time wrong. We know prices went up due to the plain fact that construction prices in Tokyo rose as well. However, as proven before and surprisingly not stated in this article, the arches may have allowed for quicker construction of the roof, but they were at such an angle that they did not act as supporting arches, but almost decorative. Constructors would have had to shove several meters of steel rods into the ground to keep the roof up. So yes, part of the reason the price went up was due to general construction costs, but that doesn't mean that the design required such intense engineering to keep it standing up right.
I hope the JSC chooses something simple this time. Something like in Rome, Kiev, Berlin, etc. There is no need to sacrifice money and time for aesthetic in this case. -
I would think that the Paralympic torch would be the same as the Olympic one, but the shiny bits inside would be variations of orange and yellow like in the Paralympic emblem. Makes sense to me.

Here's a little look into the IOC session. The IOC stated that the general concept of the Session room and the Presentation room will remain the same for all Sessions, meaning that the Session room will continue to retain the circular design shown below, and the Presentation room will always put the cities bidding at center stage. Can't wait to see it in action!

Moving on, if you will, Tokyo Gas has been names an Official sponsor alongside ANA and JAL.
This is also an example of the sub-font given in the logo, which I quite like. This is likely the font that will be used for tickets, press/media passes, signage, etc.

You do usually see the words "Tokyo 2020" upon the look of the games more often than the emblem during the games, anyway.
-
I was thinking that for the look of the games the logo could appear as one solid color that matches the color or colors chosen for that venue, but the sun remains red throughout. The designs themselves I can't think of. They could stay with geometric shapes like my signature and make them one color (not limited to black, gold, silver, or red btw) or go with something completely different.
-
That logo works for the theatre. I see the T, D, and L. For Tokyo's logo, though, I don't see why it needs an extra mark on the bottom right, other than for aesthetic purposes,
I think it's supposed to outline the larger circle within the emblem that represents the world or something like that.
-
It's not the first time an Olympic emblem has appeared in some form elsewhere...

Well this is still happening, if anyone forgot. Might as well get our final thoughts together before Friday.
-
I don't see why everyone's starting to hate the logo. I for one, am liking it. It's retro-modern, simple and sleek.
The colours are different from Rio's bright colours. Besides, the logos make Japan look smart and sophisticated if you compared it to the warmth and friendliness of Brazil.
I wondering how they would use the colours and shapes in banners, advertisements, posters etc.
I'm thinking, and I think someone said this before, it would make sense to use one color alone for a banner, so that they don't all look the same. Who knows what they'll do though. It's only one day less than 3 years until we'll likely see the look of the games anyway.
-
They can still have a manga/anime-style mascot (hopefully only one, not a family of them) and I think it could fit the logo very well.
And now that I think of it, these logos allow for the Paralympic mascot to be the same as the Olympic mascot but with inverted colours. That would be original and completely in line with what the logos seem to represent.
Given the style of the thousands of mascots, it's likely we'll have something like that.
For example, here's the mascot for the 2017 Asian Winter Games in Sapporo.
-
I have a feeling if they used Japanese characters or rather the kanji for Tokyo, it's likely people would have said they copied Beijing.
-
The problem is that these designs are the generic interpretation of Japan. Origami, cherry blossom, calligraphy (which Beijing already did), and the rising sun. This logo, as TNMP explained, reflects what Japan is actually like. Simplistic, reserved, and stylish.
-
I don't think they wanted to use just the sun, cherry blossom, and/or tokyo city logo. It would have been too predictable.
-
Every logo since 1992 has been a variation on Barcelona, or has been something unique that nobody else has bothered to try and emulate afterwards. In that sense, only Barcelona's logo can really be said to have undeniably
gone down in history.Save Atlanta and until London, basically yeah.

I like how the Future Arena is starting to get it's copper colored coating.
I keep thinking of it as the copper box but that's last time!

Unexpected is the word.
I thought this would be more minimalist, it's already the case (simple shapes) in some way but at the end by assembling them I lose this feeling.
There's a certain potential in this but I'm waiting to see where they will go with this: could be great or bad (actually I'm concerned by the pattern they will put on the banners everywhere in venues, I hope it's not the one we can see at the top of their website 'cuz it looks dated. Personally I feel they should work color by color, not all of them in one design or try something else.
The colors look bland, I'd rather have a good deep black than shades of grey (feels dated) even the red dot could be stronger. Lack of energy, it could be a good design for contemporary art event or restaurant identity but olympics?...
I also note that: the logo looks really heavy on the typo, the space between them should have been bigger.
Overall, I like the fact they took the risk to try something different in olympics habits, will it worth it? I hope.
My biggest disappointment is the lack of energy, mainly comes from the colors. Shapes thing is interesting though.
Good luck Tokyo 2020

Schedule of Events: IOC Election of 2022 Olympic Winter Games and 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games Hosts
in GB Newswire
Posted
I still don't know if I'll watch the 2020 Youth presentations, but either way I'll get at most 5-6 hours of sleep
. Even less if I watch the voting, which I might. I wouldn't want to miss a tie!
