A badge of honour bringing pride to the athletes

Alongside the look of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, a reinvented set of 62 pictograms of the upcoming Games has been unveiled.

Each of the pictograms is a badge of honour, representing not only a sporting discipline but also a family, a sense of pride, a set of values and a community. It is a symbol of each wearer belonging to a chosen sporting family, and a sign of affinity with a great and beautiful sporting community.

Each one is composed of three graphical elements: an axis of symmetry, a depiction of the ground and a representation of the sport that it illustrates. Eight of the pictograms are shared between the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“A pictogram is also a symbol that is collectable," Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet said at an event to mark the launch of the look and pictograms. "When you’re an athlete, you’re proud about showing off the pictogram of your sport - pins, t-shirts… I remember collecting those things.”

Matikhine also talked about the role the International Federations had in developing the design of the new pictograms, saying: “The International Federations played a role in their development. For fencing, for example, the pictogram shows the three different types of blades with foil and epee at the top and sabre at the bottom. There is a type of finesse in the detail and the accuracy of the sporting endeavour. We discussed the design of the mask in great detail with the International Federation to have the best representation possible.”

Pictograms have been a feature of the Olympics since Tokyo 1964, with a broad range of symbols used to represent each sport. Ever since each host country has endeavoured to push the envelope, with stylistic changes seen with every edition of the Games.

Paris 2024 will once again revolutionise the pictogram, creating a sign of affinity with a great and beautiful sporting community.
