The Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee decided on a new official emblem on Monday.
东京2020奥运会和残奥会组织委员会周一公布新的官方会徽。
The new emblem, a checkered pattern in "the traditional Japanese color of indigo blue", was designed by 46-year-old Tokyo-based artist Asao Tokolo.
It was chosen from a shortlist of four after some 14,599 entries were submitted in a contest open to the public.
Yoshiro Mori, chief of the organizing committee, said the committee had met 15 times since last September to decide on the new emblem.
The previous logo by Japanese artist Kenjiro Sano was scrapped last September over plagiarism accusations due to its similarity to the logo of a theater in Belgium.
