baron-pierreIV Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Not a design to get excited about. Looks like a reject from the Asian Games or something less than Olympic. Tokyo will be a "C" Games in terms of its design elements. Boy, Tokyo 2020 has been 0-4 in their designs so far: 1st logo - plagiarized! 2nd one, not much better.

Lord David Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I would have liked to have seen a nod to Nagano with this torch. Tassels on the handle would have achieved this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
