The Olympic Logo
Composed of three varieties of rectangular shapes, the design represents different countries, cultures and ways of thinking. It incorporates the message of “Unity in Diversity.” It also expresses the fact that the Olympic and Paralympic Games seek to promote diversity as a platform to connect the world.
The various shapes of the rectangles represent the nations, which separately may seem very different, but together form a united whole. In addition, the logo uses only two colors: indigo, a color considered traditional in Japanese culture, and white for peace.
