#Paris2024

[@IngenieroMan]

Yea this is just puting design over functionality Tokyo 2020's had interesting design, clear readability and were actually pictograms, not just design I find these very hit or miss, you either love em, or you hate em

[@0Clewi0]

It's like they said "well, we have to animate it" and started from there instead of thinking about people distinguishing them without using half a phone screen.

[@oberk3s29]

Tokyo 2020 had the best design and presentation of the pictograms. The sports were well represented with clear and simple designs.

I think these are quite complicated. Yes, they are unique but some of them may seem to be hard to identify. Still prefer 2020, simple, interesting and understandable

[@J3llyf12hy]

Yes I loved the Tokyo pictograms, the performance was great too.

[@JeanMichelBreizh]

they're perfect, following our tradition in France of "Blasons"

[@sifangwuhai]

​@@JeanMichelBreizh they're pretty yes. be better if they were readable.

[@Yokodawg]

I wish Paris 2024 every success, but this is not a pictogram, just a design. A pictogram is meaningless unless it is a guiding sign that everyone can see. I hope you will reconsider.

[@ceciliaquental5409]

I wouldn't even go as far as to say this is design. Design has purpose, it serves a function. The human brain is hardwired to identify human figures with ease. This is the first Olympics that has lost the athletes, who are arguably as important as the sports they play--without them, there wouldn't be an Olympics. Pictograms are there to communicate, their purpose is to relay a message without words. When you lose purpose, you become decoration.

[@teruterubouzu]

These put more emphasis on the equipment and field of play than the athletes, which seems antithetical to the point of the Olympics. On top of that, many are hard to decipher without a label. They don't work as pictograms.

This is why they want to use them as blazon on clothes and stuff too

[@onem0repixel]

So graphic and it 100% look cool on goodies but the pictogram itself is unreadable... Tokyo 2020 was so perfect for it.

[@AWEDO]

agreed

[@fyzzzali____]

I think so, the japan 2020 looks clean, like a icon app

[@정민혁-f8g]

뭘 뜻하려는 건지 읽기도 어렵고 난해함. 대칭 맞추려고 쓸데없이 사물을 2개 넣는 등 정보가 너무 많아서 가시성이 좋지 않다. 걍 내장재며 가구며 인테리어며 최고급으로 맞춰놓곤 정작 비 오면 천장에서 물 새는 저택 같음

visual 70 functionality 0 versatility 0 those cannot be considered as pictogram tbf, people won't understand the meaning of each graphics at a glance let alone used for various media at different sizes

[@TStetheOG]

Horrendous execution, half of them are indecipherable and that’s while looking at them on a monitor, nevermind in the distance or at an angle. They somewhat work as a merch option where you can be more elaborate but the whole notion of calling pictograms outdated while running with a coat of arms motif is rather ironic

[@5pm_Hazyblue]

[@ilvaldoiqbal5273]

Tokyo 20 still elegant and simple so interesting Compared to Paris 24 😢

[@NorthernPyro]

I hope these are mainly for branding cause I would hate to wayfind by these things, too busy and confusing

[@thomasng8953]

It doesn't work. As a sports fan, some of these pictograms are impossible to tell what they are without having words next to them. Might as well not have pictograms if this is the case. Just use a QR code with Google translate. What is the skateboarding pictogram? Two Band-Aids?

[@boriswilsoncreations]

the design looks very cool, but it doesn't works like pictograms. they should use those for something else. it's very difficult to read in small scale

[@Ironwill_Games]

I loved these designs. I’m always appreciative of good UI in videogames but these designs on an Olympics game are just another level! Well done!

Not gonna lie, last olympic’s pictograms were better

Actually, 7 months later I changed my mind. this is better

[@astronoteek1512]

@@eren_1oglu Hey there, I know it's been a while since you posted thi and probably don't need someone to add their grain of salt but... I thought the same thing as you exactly. I wasnt' convinced at first because they did look a lot more confusing than all previous pictograms. But after a few months and looking at them more precisely, they're genious work ! The Tokyo 2020 were the direct opposite. Very clear, readable but I would never get a t-shirt with any of those pictograms. Meanwhile, Paris 2024 is going all in with the visuals. I mean, the venues speak for themselves as well as the opening ceremony... I also appreciate how those logos reflect some aspects of the sport very well. As a badminton player myself, I absolutely love how the logo emphasises the speed of the sport. I also love how surf looks like an exotic flower that you could find in Tahiti, where the competition is held ! You can tell there was a lot of thought behind it and I'm sure that the shirts and merch overall will look fantastic !

ピクトグラムは言語によらず「一目で」「それが何か」を表すためのものなんだけど… 残念ながらデザインした方がそれを理解していたとは思えないですね 格好は良いけど全体的にごちゃごちゃしすぎで内容が分かりにくいってピクトグラムとしては致命的です 近くでマジマジと凝視してもそうなのに、遠目からなんてまず分からないんじゃないかな 今からでも遅くないから、もう東京大会のやつを五輪の公式ピクトグラムとして採用してくれと

I just realized the pictogram doesn’t have a human in it, but rather more focus on the sport itself.

Looks cool, but for half of these pictograms, I would not know what they are if they didn't have the text on them.

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

See, when these are animated with backing footage of what the sport is, it's very easy to recognize what it is. The icons alone though are extremely difficult to narrow down individually though for the most part.

[@revatorjohn]

I’m not sure how I feel about them being distinctly nonhuman, but it’s an awesome and very creative design nonetheless!

These pictograms fail at their only job. they are not easy to decifer at a glace and are not unique.

[@andro_system]

if a child can't recognize then it's bad, despite the amazing and creative design...

[@일원-z7q]

No no you only recognized 90% and that's meant failure as pictograms purpose

[@ytuseracct]

They're not meant to be just pretty. If you downscale them they would not look recognizable. Form follows function!

[@Mario_N64]

These look like 2016 tattoos.

[@Dholoko]

Creative? Yes. Usefull? We will see....

[@SpaceflightExplained]

I absolutely 100% respect the effort to create something new here, but they just don't work. I feel like the idea is good, but when the amount of sports (very similar to each other, such as swimming and marathon swimming) is taken into account, it's really hard to tell. This is one thing that should be done safely in the future. No modernization was really needed

[@thepineaple]

This goes against the purpose of a pictogram. They are useless if they can't be understood by everyone. It is inappropriate to sacrifice accessibility for aesthetics!

[@Alvaro-yt7lt]

La sanción debería ser que nunca más se haga ninguna actividad deportiva en Francia , fue un insulto lo que hicieron en la inauguración.

[@AdLibitum8]

[@chrisc6015]

I’ve been to four Olympic Games, and, while Paris was pretty good, they were fourth on my list. But that had nothing to do with “what they did with the inauguration“ WAAAAA - get over it (I am assuming you are talking about the SUPPOSED last supper theme)

[@user-ni1nj4db8y]

I like the idea they were going for, but it just feels out of place. Sorry, but not for me 😢

[@LetsFeelAllRight]

The mindset required for pictogram designers is not 'addition' but 'subtraction'. The recruitment test for designers should have asked whether the king of diamonds or the ace of spades was more beautiful, and those who chose the latter should have been hired.

[@erlgr]

These aren't pictograms at all... Sure, you could use them in TV animations and as a decorative element, but you cannot use these in signage, you cannot downscale them, you cannot identify them instantly and from afar, and you cannot call them a proper "icon". These are as chaotic as google logos. You can distinguish them if you look properly, but you have to actually make an effort.

[@BERTHEDELLE]

Hard to understand, and exceptionally terrible when printed on small size...

[@y.m.or.4053]

While there are a few weaker ones, overall these pictograms are AWESOME. I think the majority of the pictograms depict the sport being played very well, I don't think removing the corporal factor makes these any less readable. There are some that could be left up for debate about how legible they are. What I also appreciate about these games is that both the Olympic and Paralympic games are being showcased at the same time with the same package.

[@REIKANOweb]

the level of ignorance in the comments is appalling. this is art, not signage. if you don't understand it, it's ok, you don't have to express your helplessness imediatlly. Jesus!

Belle idée, de faire des blasons / cartes de jeux, très stylé, mais... ...mais techniquement ce choix de politique de communication n'est pas toujours fonctionnel en terme de lisibilité . 👁 Et si certains sont réussi et clairs (Badminton, Basket, Tir à l'arc) 👍, en revanche pour d'autres sports ça marche moins bien (Plongeon, Handball, Rugby) 👎. La disctinction entre les 2 compétions de BMX n'est pas claire non plus, vu d'un oeil néophyte. Là où ce style fonctionne le mieux, c'est peut-être avec l'escrime. ❤

[@leonabc298]

This Olympics should be cancelled. More importantly any athlete that continues to compete and claims to have a moral compass or be Christian should be called out. You cannot be Christian, or frankly any Muslim and Buddhist in good standing, and allow this. This is not in the Olympic spirit nor in the mandate, and this Olympics should be cancelled. This is where athletes should stand in solidarity.
