Four emblem designs have been shortlisted by the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee during a ceremony in Tokyo.
The designs replace an earlier design that was dropped after alleged plagiarism.
During the application process, the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection
Committee referred all applicants to the Tokyo 2020 Games Vision and the
following seven key concepts to inspire their designs: the Power of
Sport, Japanese-ness and Tokyo-ness, World Peace, Personal Best and
Utmost Efforts, Sense of Unity and Inclusion, Innovation and
Future-Oriented, Reconstruction and the Power to Rise Up.
A spokesman from the Tokyo 2020 Emblems Selection Committee said:
"Since the deadline for applications last December, we have implemented a
series of format and design checks on all entries, and have received
the cooperation of design experts during the design checks."
"Throughout this process, the members of the Tokyo 2020 Emblems
Selection Committee have conducted a series of intensive discussions and
careful selections, and we have finally whittled down the original
14,599 entries to a final shortlist of four outstanding designs"
Until Sunday, 17 April, Tokyo 2020 will be inviting opinions from the
general public on which designs they feel most strongly convey one or
more of the seven key concepts.
