Last week the organising committee of Tokyo’s 2020 Olympic Games revealed a set of 73 moving pictograms, which serve as clearly distinguishable icons for each sport. The pictograms, designed by signage specialist Masaaki Hiromura and animated by motion designer Kota Iguchi, are made up of dark blue lines and shapes against a white background. They offer a quick display of motion for everything from archery to Paralympic tennis. The Japanese duo designed more than 50 pictograms for the 33 Olympic sports and 23 for the 22 Paralympic sports (some have more than one representation). This is the first time that animated icons have been used in the Games. Fittingly, the first static icons were adopted for the Tokyo Games in 1964. Let’s see whether the world follows suit again for the next Olympics, which is to be held in Paris in 2024.

Events in the Western Balkans may indeed seem peripheral to the EU, particularly as it braces for debates on the new budget and eurozone reform, but let’s not forget the old quote by Winston Churchill: “The Balkans produce more history than they can consume.”
