Games Emblem
Faculty of Industrial Technology students at the Department of Synthetic Design at Tsukuba University ofTechnology, the only university in Japan for the hearing impaired or visually impaired, produced multiple design
proposals for the emblem, and secondary school students in Tokyo, including those at schools for the deaf,
voted for their favourite design.

Creator’s comment and concept•

I took the theme of a ‘circle’ to represent the connections between people.

•

Using a hand, a symbol representative of the deaf community, my design
expresses touching on topics and sports through the Deaflympics, with thehope that mutual exchange and connecting communities like a ‘circle’ willlead to a new future blossoming like a flower. I used cherry blossom petals
as a motif for the flower.

•

The emblem was designed to be a single line, which enables it do depict
connections between deaf athletes and connections with spectators andchildren, and also makes it fun for children to draw.
