Chicago unveils new 2016 Olympics logo
Yesterday the city of Chicago unveiled its new logo for its bid to host the 2016 summer Olympic games. They were forced to change the previous logo, which included a flame designed to look like the city skyline, because it looked too much like the Olympic torch. Applicant cities are not permitted to use the Olympic logo until they are selected as the host city.
The new logo, called “the star” reflects “the unique design of the four stars on the Chicago flag” and “represents the importance of the Games to the city’s future and literally symbolizes the athletes at the center of the Games.”
For more information on the meaning by the logo or how you can help the city of Chicago secure the Olympic games, visit Chicago 2016.
