Introducing the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Symbols: Unity and Empowerment

The Face of the Games: A Symbol of Unity

The emblem for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, unveiled on October 21, 2019, stands as a powerful symbol of unity, embodying three iconic symbols:

• Gold Medal: Representing the pinnacle of athletic achievement
• Flame: Symbolizing the Olympic spirit and the pursuit of excellence
• Marianne: The personification of the French Republic

Together, these elements create a harmonious representation of the Olympic and Paralympic values of sportsmanship, inclusivity, and national pride.

From Pictograms to Coats of Arms: Elevating Visual Identity

For the Paris 2024 Games, traditional Olympic and Paralympic pictograms have been transformed into striking coats of arms. This reinvention elevates these visual aids to a new level of significance, reflecting the transformative power of sports.

The new pictograms embody the spirit of the Games, capturing the essence of each sport in a dynamic and engaging way. They serve as a visual language that transcends cultural boundaries, conveying the excitement and passion of the Olympic and Paralympic experience.

Paralympic Pictograms: Inclusion and Empowerment

The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will showcase a new set of pictograms designed specifically for para-sports. These pictograms will replace the existing Olympic pictograms during the Paralympic Games, ensuring that all athletes are represented equally.

This move towards inclusivity reflects the Paralympic Games' commitment to empowering athletes with disabilities and showcasing their extraordinary abilities.
