Shiruba98 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Only one day left and today, the International Paralympic Committee has updated their iconic Agitos symbol. Expect this to appear on the new Paralympic emblem for Paris 2024. Dunno if Tokyo or Beijing 2022 will update theirs with the new-look Agitos.

There are some noticeable changes, the agitos are redrawn and are thicker, the colours are also brighter as well. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spend so much for all their ridiculous Heriage Flame lighting ceremonies; yet can't decide to stick with one, simple dignified one. I think it's an organization that just sucks all those who can't work for the IOC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we just want is them to light the flame and send it to Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 What are they doing? Is it teams from each sport doing something or other? I’ve only just started streaming it on YouTube in a pub in Sweden so I don’t really know what’s going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 The first dots on the screen, the emphasis on the geography...I’d laugh if all this hype turns into a copy of Birmingham’s Commie logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 That’s what I’m thinking, like how Birmingham’s logo is a map of the West Midlands with all the towns linked straight. Maybe the theme of 2020s sports graphics is taking geography literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 The dots are clearly either the logo or they’re gonna form what forms the logo. Why else would they need all teams in their destinations? I’m pleased they’re doing something big like this though, it wouldn’t be properly French if it wasn’t artsy & slightly odd (see 92/98 ceremonies) :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 ‘It was important for us to do away with code’. Really?! It sounds like they’re going to join the dots somehow. Lot of ways to join 40 dots though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've seen the logo earlier. Wasn't sure though. IT looks like it's by Seurat -- a very Pointillist logo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 That’s a very unusual Olympic logo, it looks like it should be the logo for an upmarket makeup brand. Love the font though. Tbf, it was never gonna live up to the perfect bid logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I saw a wrong one. But this is a take-off of Albertville 1992 & the old Sherwin-Williams paints logo. It's OK. The last 3 Winter Games have been AWFUL; and this one is at least better than those and of London 2012 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feel like there's something missing with it, I'm not sure what, but it just feels a little bland. Oh well, London's logo was fugly and Rio's was not ... obviously had no bearing on their subsequent legacies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
