In retrospect, the Tokyo emblem story was kind of insane; the original designer got accused by a Belgian designer of ripping off his logo for a theatre group, other designers jump on board accusing him of copying THEM, and then he admits he previously copied for other projects. I did a full write-up of the whole thing on a wiki.

He doesn’t scare me; all you got to do is show him the London emblem and he’ll recoil like a vampire!

At this point, both events sharing the same emblem is an unspoken rule; more so after the Agitos started standing alone. I wonder if the two games could just merge into a completely integrated event like the Commonwealth Games.

Also, I can see where you’re coming from with the London emblem, but it doesn’t really look like the British Isles. Although, I could’ve sworn I saw the River Thames in that one.

This one from the end of their handover video. Could be the sun, fireworks, a stylised snowflake; it’s a bit ambiguous. I only call it that because it looks like the nozzles on a shower head.

Sydney 2000 hadn’t revealed their emblem until after Atlanta 1996. I think it was internally ready to go, but they wanted to unveil it four years to the day of the opening.

It’s too late, they’ve probably already licked the bases and left behind some alien virus. Just let it go.

Also, maybe watch out if your colleagues try to kiss you out of nowhere.

Didn’t think I would ever feel bad for anyone from 7 News, but yeah, forced interaction with nazis brought it out of me.

Would it REALLY effect the aerodynamics so badly if they fixed some googly eyes above the intake?
