baron-pierreIV Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just a few more logos from Twitter I found while we wait for some news... Looks like JAL's old logo. Or is that CBS eye (which will give NBC apoplexy) encased in the Turkish flag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandrosis Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 With all those crescents this could be an Istambul 2028 bid logo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 The crescent probably comes from the Kabuto featured on the helmet of Samurai armors. Some of them were themed after the crescent moon (most famously the helmet of Masamune Date) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palette86 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 A little news... http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/japan.html Little bit returning to old subject. Olympic logo selection panel kept in the dark about design changes The Tokyo Games organizing committee didn’t bother telling the panel that selected the Olympic logo about modifications that led to the final design, which has since been scrapped amid plagiarism accusations, sources said. Graphics designer Kenjiro Sano, 43, the creator of the 2020 Olympics logo, twice modified the design at the behest of the Olympic organizing committee. But those changes did not receive the approval of the judges who selected Sano’s logo in an international competition, the sources said. Sano’s design, comprising an uppercase “T” and a red circle representing Japan’s national flag, was withdrawn on Sept. 1 after he was accused by a Belgian designer of plagiarizing a logo for a theater. “We said many things to Sano, but those things were just our opinions,” an executive of the organizing committee involved in the revisions told The Asahi Shimbun. “We did not give directions.” Sano’s original design consisted of a “T” made up of triangles and a rectangle, along with a red circle on the bottom right corner. Earlier, when the organizing committee was denying the plagiarism allegations, members said they asked Sano for a revision because the original logo resembled a design trademarked by a foreign company. According to sources, however, the first revision was made after some executives of the organizing committee in December last year objected to the “rising sun” circle being placed at the bottom. Sano presented his second design with the red circle in the upper right corner to the committee in February. The hypotenuses of the right triangles were also curved to create an overall circular effect. But committee executives argued that the revised design “lost some liveliness,” and they asked Sano for further modifications, the sources said. Sano submitted the revised logo, which omitted one triangle and changed the colors of the two remaining ones. The committee examined trademarks worldwide to see if any of them resembled modified Olympic logo in early April. His final design was publicly unveiled on July 24. However, the organizing committee did not report those developments to members of the panel that chose Sano’s first design as the logo for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The selection panel did not receive an explanation about the changes until the panel chief contacted the organizing committee after the second modification. Criticism has been rife that the process of selecting and revising the logo was not transparent. The organizing committee is expected to hold an executive meeting on Sept. 28 to set up a new panel to screen candidates for the Olympic logo.

Palette86 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Tokyo Olympics organizer chair Mori finally apologizes over logo fiasco Former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, who serves as president of the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, apologized on Sept. 28 over the turmoil regarding logos for the 2020 event, which resulted in the retraction of the emblems designed by Kenjiro Sano following plagiarism allegations. "I want to apologize for causing concern among the Japanese people," Mori told a news conference after a committee board meeting in Tokyo. It was announced that the committee's director general Toshiro Muto will return 20 percent of his monthly salary for two months, and two vice director generals, Yukihiko Nunomura and Hiroshi Sato, will also return 10 percent of their salaries each for one month to take responsibility over the disaster. As Mori serves as the chair without pay, he will not be subjected to financial punishment. In addition, Hidetoshi Maki, the committee's marketing bureau chief, will be reprimanded over the use of photos in documents presented to explain the screening process of the logo competition, which he took from a private blog without the owner's permission. The committee presented a report reflecting on the development and screening process of the competition and revealed that it had sent requests to eight designers to join the race before it started accepting applications in September last year. Marketing bureau head Maki decided to ask the designers in advance to achieve the highest standards for the competition, the report said. In the report, it was revealed that the top three designers in the race, including Sano, were among the eight creators who were asked to join the competition. The report concluded that the committee's decision cast doubts on the fairness of the screening process and that a third-party investigation involving experts is necessary on the connection between the pre-competition requests and the result. Mori said there were two major problems that should be noted regarding the screening process: That the screening board prioritized the design without having discussion on the base concept of the logos; and that the competition was drawn up by only a handful of the committee staff, resulted in a lack of in-house checks. He announced he would establish a team tasked with reform of the committee. In addition, the report presented a list of problems found in the screening process, including an absolute lack of an explanation and publicity as a result of placing top priority on confidentiality and allowing only award-winning designers to enter the competition. It also pointed out that appointing a majority of screening board members from those working in the field of design, failing to map out measures with the awareness of the advancement in image searches on the Internet, and delayed explanation on details of the production process of the logos all played a part in the latest trouble. Meanwhile, the Sept. 28 board meeting agreed on the establishment of a new committee tasked with managing a competition for the new logos. Nineteen members, including baseball team Fukuoka Softbank Hawks chairman Sadaharu Oh, have been appointed to the committee. Its first meeting is scheduled on Sept. 29.

mr.bernham Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 This is why I love Japan, whenever their logo's look like **** and nobody really likes it...they get rid of it. If only London had done the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 ^^ They did it because he (Sano) plagiarized it, Otherwise they would had let it untouched. I like they moved swiftly and made the right decision before letting it get worse. I'm still worried about the people who lead the organizing comittee, though.

Ikarus360 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Finally. This is what they should had done in the beggining, instead of just letting the decision at the hands of a gang of senile old men deatached to the current times. At least they admitted their screwup and are trying to fix it up. Though this could also means we're going to see a much safer and "generic" logo since I doubt they will be taking much risks this time.

Faiyez Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 So only 2 months left until deadline....it must be very tough job for applicants to create a logo in such a short period of time.

Nacre Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Artists can absolutely come up with something good in two months. I have one friend who is an artist who frequently complains that Chinese companies expect designs to be turned over within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandrosis Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think this is the most important part: The competition is open to everyone regardless of previous experience or formal qualifications Now anyone from a design student to someone who was a designer in 1964 can contribute instead of a few secretly chosen designers and a bunch of, dare I say, decoys.

Rob2012 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 So will they get paid for their time and their design at market rates or is there going to be a token prize? Maybe they should open up the stadium design to any Tom, Dick and Harry too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I also think 2 months is more than enough to come up with something cool. Also glad to see the contest is now open for everyone. This increases the chances of seeing something good this time. Also this means we will see the logo for the handover ceremony, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
