The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 sport pictograms are visual graphic symbols used to represent each sport in competition games of the 2020 Summer Olympic.

Formation

The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee (TOCOG) produced the official Sports Pictogram of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, due to a need of communicating visually to an increasingly international group of athletes and spectators, while paying great respect to the production of the Olympic Sports Pictogram, which was first introduced at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The designer team led by Masaaki Hiromura [ja] was in charge of the creation of the Official Pictogram. All rights, including copyrights, regarding the produced the Official Pictogram belong to the TOCOG. After the Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is expected to be under the jurisdiction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Works

The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 sport pictograms are designed to subtly communicate the characteristics and athleticism of each sport, as well as artistically highlights the dynamism of athletes.

Hiromura reveals in a newspaper interview that he needs to go back to the origin of pictograms, "information transmission," and to be simple. So that, for example, golf, boxing, and other things that can be expressed only by the upper body do not draw the lower body. On the other hand, he says he pursued realism and activity in simplicity. The evolution of pictograms to show the dynamics and reality of athletes is, for example, that "I studied body movements and made the torso white in many sports. It is better not to draw the torso. I noticed that the condition of the abdominal muscles and the twist of the waist are easily transmitted. "
