Designer Creates Beautiful Logo For 2020 Tokyo Olympics And The Internet Is Loving It

Spain-based Japanese graphic designer KanKan has created a brilliant logo concept for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, that’s winning the internet. Check it out below.

KanKan shared the design on his Twitter account, explaining how the fan symbolises good luck and has been a part of Japanese culture since ancient times. The red dots symbolise the sun (Japanese flag) and the various colors denote harmony.

扇は末広がりで縁起がいいものとされ、古くから応援するときの道具として使われてきたので、オリンピックのモチーフとして最適＆「和」も感じられていいかなと。「多くの人で支えられている日本（日の丸）」を扇の中で表現しています。 pic.twitter.com/4i0WJiInfj

Here’s the official logo…which kinda sucks

…and is also involved in a plagiarism controversy

Which logo do you like? Should the authorities consider switching to KanKan’s concept? Share this post and your views in the comments below.

 Update  The official logo has been scrapped by the organising committee after allegations that it was plagiarised. A new contest will be held to choose the 2020 Games’ emblem.
