Paris 2024/Pictograms

__TOC__
The official Olympic and Paralympic pictograms for Paris 2024 were unveiled on 8 February 2023, as well as the Look of the Games.Paris 2024 - Paris 2024 unveils the Look of the Games and the pictograms of the Olympic and Paralympic disciplines Like the Look of the Games, the pictograms were developed in-house and with Paris-based Agence W.
Traditionally, Olympic and Paralympic pictograms represent their respective sport with a human figure, posing in a manner befitting of that discipline. Sports equipment is also used, but pictograms are optimally designed to suggest a sport mainly through the body language of the figure itself. Since the full-scale introduction of pictograms at Tokyo 1964, this had been accepted as the standard for pictograms, because of how recognisable the human form is.
Since this time, pictograms have undergone a litany of changes, in the methods used to create them and the mediums on which they're displayed. Pictograms are no longer wayfinding assets alone, but are treated as extensions of their event's brand and expressions of the hosts' culture. How every games develops their pictogram is as important as the emblem or look.
Paris 2024 breaks with tradition by doing away with the figures and placing the equipment firmly in the spotlight. This approach to pictograms is similar to that of Mexico 1968, which also primarily focused on equipment or part of an athletes body. Paris delves further into the concept by making each pictogram a type of 'coat of arms' for their discipline.Paris 2024 - Pictograms These "blazons" seek to add another dimension of unity between competitors across the same sport, something to connects athletes beyond the delegations they represent.
According to Paris 2024's Head of Design Joachim Roncin, the decision to stray from designing regular pictograms was intentional.Inside the Games - Paris 2024 Head of Design speaks of "test" to "break" literal images for sports pictograms His reasoning was to capture a sense of sports illustrations from 1924, when Paris last held the games. Such an attitude fits with the wider Art Deco-themed visual identity of Paris 2024.
Each pictogram generally contains three elements;
*Apparatus routinely worn or used by an athlete in the respective sport
*A playing surface on which the sport is staged
*An axis of symmetry fixed diagonally, which may be depicted physically or suggested by the arrangement of other elements
In total, 62 pictograms were created for these games; 47 for Olympic events and 23 for Paralympic events. Eight pictograms are shared between Olympic and Paralympic events, where athletes use the same equipment.
