Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo revealed Friday July 24,2015

 

Tokyo has unveiled the logo for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic emblem is the letter T, with upended quote marks to represent equality, organisers say.

"The red of the circle represents the power of every beating heart," the organising committee says, though it also, conveniently, resembles part of the Japanese flag.

Designed by the Japanese artist Kenjiro Sato, the emblem "reflects the vibrant nature of the city and the welcoming spirit of its citizens," says International Olympic Committee Vice-President John Coates

The ceremony at Tokyo City Hall on Friday July 24,2015 was attended by Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori, Tokyo governor Yoichi Masuzoe and IOC vice-president John Coates
