47 Olympic Logos and Symbols From 1924 to 2028

Last week, I visited my friend in China and couldn’t help but notice Paris 2024 symbols everywhere. This made me look into the history of Olympic logos; the oldest I could find was dated back to 1924.

I noticed that Sochi has the first logo feature domain extensions (Sochi.ru). Most likely, we will see similar trends in the upcoming years. I was surprised that some logos use flat designs, which became popular only a few years ago. Olympics logos must be kept clean and easy to remember; each country has done a fantastic job.

Another standout Olympic logo is certainly LA 2028, a mix of classic and modern fonts mixed in one.

Here goes the entire Olympic logo collection from 1924 to 2028. Which one is your favorite logo, and which one is the worst?

    Rio 2016 looks like a buttplug to me. It should not look like a buttplug

    1. Michel Schweinsberg says:

      People see what they are looking for I suppose.

    2. And you know this, because ?

  2. Lots of issues around the 2020 emblem but in my opinion, it is better than 2012’s logo.

  3. Sheen Bird says:

    Wonderful. I. I waiting for Rio 2k16

    1. Sheen,

      Rio Olympics 2016 are right around the corner but we have already listed their logo. We have wen as far as listing logo for Olympics 2022.

  4. Gonna have to echo Font Geek’s concerns here. “Fairly accurate” doesn’t really cut it, unfortunately, from an editorial standpoint. For one, most of these are clearly live-traced (from what source, who knows). Every pixel and ever nanometer counts with branding – colors, typeface, kerning, curves – the whole thing. And if we can’t be sure any of these are the actual official logos (which they certainly don’t seem to be), then it casts huge doubt over veracity of this exercise and not much can be drawn from this collection. This may sound nit picky, but it is in fact, quite serious. In this case, with the permission of this website, it appears that FastCoDesign syndicated this collection in an article and apparently failed to CQ on their end as well. So, sorry for being a downer, but I really think this article should have a more explicit statement about the provenance of the graphics collected here, because as it is, it is terribly misleading.

    1. Michel Schweinsberg says:

      I don’t discount the importance of maintaining accuracy, but I think for the most part people who came to this site probably did so from a search engine and a search similar to “Olympic Logos” or something similar. They just wanted to know what the logos looked like. I doubt they have to be flawlessly perfect to the last atom. I just wanted to know what the logos looked like in general. You would recognize any of these logos as the logos of each Olympics. It was informative, which was the main point of the article. You got information you needed.

  5. The real font was Univers. Amateurs have imitated the real design — and shit happened.

  6. Michel Schweinsberg says:

    Very possibly the coolest one, yes.

  7. Personally, I prefer the RIO Olympic logo 🤗

  8. Unfortunately all of these logos are incorrect. They are close to the originals, but do not have authentic type, colors, and lines. The 1936 logo isn’t even the right logo at all!

    Hulse and Durrell, the designers who did Vancouver 2010 actually were later hired to create an Olympic heritage collection with the authentic logos and branding for all of the games.

    Hope this helps anyone looking for accuracy and you should add a note to this article saying these scans are inaccurate.

  9. Helvetica, not Arial. Helvetica is the (un)official font for the City of Montreal — used on all their signage.

  10. Olympics has been around for such a long time now. So many great memories from the games as I have followed them for so many years now.
