yoshi 333 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 I doubt that this is it, as if nothing else, it's missing the red dot, which I would've expected between the Tokyo & the 2020 like in the bid logo at the very least. It's pretty nice, but I'm not sure what the shape is meant to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1692 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 It's either Godzilla or an upside down fish. It swallowed the Red Dot!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

runningrings 678 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 From my sources inside Tokyo 2020. Of course, it is. Why leak it here? Why not a news source? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1692 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Why leak it here? So a GamesBidder could report it as a SCOOP. They know our drill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2038 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 I'm pretty sure that's not the logo, but it wouldn't be the first time Gamesbids got a logo before anyone else.... http://gamesbids.com/eng/other-news/new-beijing-2008-olympic-logo-revealed-represents-humanity/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 333 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Does your 'source' (Like Rob, I have doubts) explain the shape? I guess it'd fold up to make something, but in flat form it does look like a (highly stylised) image of Britain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phandrosis 171 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 If anyone was actually concerned, here's the source http://lindsayhapp.com/identity.html I remember reading the statement when they announced the contest that you couldn't release the logo to the public on your own before the actual TOCOG release, so this is for sure not it.

yoshi 333 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Plus 8 is it? Interesting, I thought there'd be a time zone boundary between China & Japan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMarkSnow2012 386 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Plus 8 is it? Interesting, I thought there'd be a time zone boundary between China & Japan. Are you allowing for Japan not having Daylight Saving Time (i.e. 9 hours ahead of GMT, but 8 ahead of BST)? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neneu10 327 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 BTW, the launch of Rio's logo 5 years ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phandrosis 171 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Really excited, since we'll also be getting the font and a hint towards the look of the games. Also with the Rio video, I wonder if Tokyo's will also work in both 2D and 3D... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bairrosfelipe 120 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 I believe it will not be in 3D. Japan already has a long tradition in using 2D logos that make reference to his flag. They will be able to make something beautiful and simple at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorchbearerSydney 237 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 It will be 4D....has anyone noticed the multi coloured dogs turd logo of Buenos Aires ..... surely they could do better ... (not that I care about the YOG) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
