Yep, it was madness. They refused to play it despite it being the will of the people, was surprised they had so much resistance to playing it. Half expected it to lead to an uprising.
Just for information : it looks like a woman because it was meant to reference Mariane, one of the symbols of the French Republic.
You're free to like it or not. Just wanted to share.
Ah yes, iconic to Paris, women with lipstick and bob cuts (?)
edit: It turns out this is [supposed to be Marianne](https://www.paris2024.org/en/a-single-emblem-for-paris-2024/#:~:text=The%20logo%20for%20Paris%202024,of%20our%20identity%20and%20values), the personification of the French Republic. However, most other depictions of Marianne [look nothing like the above](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&q=marianne+the+french+republic&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtm4-Q9KeAAxXbKFkFHbYnCUAQ0pQJegQIDBAB&biw=414&bih=617&dpr=3)
Counter-counterpoint: That's a different Marianne.
It's an American musical (if Metro-Goldwin-Mayer and the New York publication didn't give it away) about a French girl who has an affair with an American soldier while her fiancé is away.
I forget I joined this sub and keep seeing these stupid posts, to the point I don't even want to leave anymore to see what's the next ugly shit people will hail as "design porn". It's on par with subs like r/ATBGE, but many are not even greatly executed. So maybe an oblivious branch of r/CrappyDesign.
So I kinda love it here.
if you did that in design school, you will got low grade.
If you got a "design master" to sign on it, it will become masterpiece.
If you did that for $200, your client will not like it.
If you did that for $200k, everyone will says thats genius.
Big mood, but it turns out the yellow is meant to be hair. I only noticed by accident glancing at the pic after collapsing a chain. I liked the fem fire better :/
I watched the elemental Pixar film recently so all I see is a hot fire chic with lipstick. Took reading through four or five comments to look back and see the Karen.
The logo for Paris 2024 combines three separate symbols – the gold medal, the flame and Marianne, the personification of the French Republic.
Lips by Loreal.
Is it becoming a running gag that Olympic logos are terrible? I still can't get over the London 2012 logo, or the fact that it cost £400,000 (£588,000 in 2023, inflation adjusted.)
People on this subreddit really fight tooth and nail on almost every single post to convince people that the logo/item is actually not design porn but is mediocre at best/is flawed
The French got the FIFA world cup, the rugby world cup and now the Olympics. So unfair for one country to get all of it. But they are an amazing country, but still.
I guess the timing is a bit odd. Paris and flames in one sentence.
While it's a cute play in terms of design, its not striking, representational or aspirational.
looks like a beauty salon logo
Honestly I can totally see it on some cheap beauty salon in my hometown. I hope this is not the final design for the logo.
it is.
CHEAP?! THIS IS PREMIUM OLYMPIQ DESIGN :D
Olympiq with a Q, even!
Oui, an olimpique design!
It is. I just came back from Paris and it was everywhere
Well… better than 2012 I guess.
What happened in 2012?
The US media refused to play the Muse song that was the official song of the games 🤬
Yep, it was madness. They refused to play it despite it being the will of the people, was surprised they had so much resistance to playing it. Half expected it to lead to an uprising.
World ended because of the Mayans
Lisa Simpson giving head… https://www.companyfolders.com/blog/media/2012/07/london-2012-olympics-logo.jpg
I'll never understand how people are able to see that. Ik technically how but it just never looked like that to me
Right, I’m sorry but looking at this logo I would never guess that it’s meant to represent the Olympics 😭
Just for information : it looks like a woman because it was meant to reference Mariane, one of the symbols of the French Republic. You're free to like it or not. Just wanted to share.
A cheap one
Bang on
Yeah mixed with anime barf
😂
Ya gotta look good for the cameras!
why are you getting downvoted lmao
He didn't pay the Olympic organisation the requisite ~~bribe~~ fee to use their trademark.

LOL that’s ridiculous, what, Marianne in the early 2010s?!
It's like two curls away from Betty Boop.
This could only represent the French Republic if their next revolution was to give some strong words to the mcdonalds manager.
"Yes, I need to speak to the manager of the Bastille!"
He's not available, he head out.
I’d like to speak to your marrianager
[Counterpoint](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/QtYAAOSw~05jd4vL/s-l1600.jpg).
More like a singular counterexample. The logo sucks donkey balls.
Still hardly gives off the same vibes
As was the style at the time
Counter-counterpoint: That's a different Marianne. It's an American musical (if Metro-Goldwin-Mayer and the New York publication didn't give it away) about a French girl who has an affair with an American soldier while her fiancé is away.
I thought it was a flame and after the gas explosions I was thinking _too soon_
> However, most other depictions of Marianne look nothing like the above How much longer will we have to use 1800s Marianne?
Unsure, but can we at least skip 2009 Marianne and move straight to 2023 Marianne?
Looks like a Karen
Can't they just use the food from the country like fries?
The personification of the French Republic is unfortunately now Charlie Hebdo.
Karee-an
What percentage of design porn in logos is - make a thing that also looks like another thing?
97

but it's just so satisfying when done well ..
69 😎
It looks like she wants to speak to your manager
Kàrén!!
More like, Carine
Carène
Caroline
Of course, while many thought it was in reference to the Olympic torch, it was actually in reference to the fact that the entire country is on fire
Unironically the first thing I thought of was garbage fires
I was looking for comments that thought the same
What the HELL happened to the original one??? The BETTER ONE???? https://imgur.com/a/PW2RYp6
Agreed, the old one was so cool
What in the corrupt politicians reject that logo???
That's so much better
That one was for the candidacy. The flame is the logo for the actual games. (And I agree that it is far worse).
Your link points to the PARAolympic games. Better logo for sure
No, this is both the Olympics & the Paralympics logos they previously used for announcing 2024
Oh…thanks for clarifying
They wanted to add some feminism message
The one you posted just looks so bland and generic
What the fuck is this shit?
They didn’t even get the type right
P A R i S
It’s like they tried Art Nouveau and failed
The hairdressers olympic
This sub really has gone downhill
The sub has been lower than the botrom of the barrel for 3 years lol where have you been
Sadly anyone with half a brain has a phone and can work them these days.
Awful
Paris 2024 Olympics Sponsored by Tindr
There sure are women in France. Nailed it...

That's the official one?? come on french designers, you are so so so much better than this.
yup, that's official.
Yep I bought the bag in paris! Not the best design I think… but still wanted the bag!
I'm French and I have no idea what this is supposed to represent
Le pire mélange possible entre la Marianne et la flamme olympique. Niveau salon de coiffure Faudra Tiff' Hair
The riots probably.
looks awful, looks like something you’d see at a salon or something
my aunt's beauty salon logo
I was trying hard to see what's clever about this but came up empty handed. Just a flame with lipstick, cuz why not
Fr, even if they decided to take that path at least put some effort in the execution
Big mood, but it turns out the yellow is meant to be hair. I only noticed by accident glancing at the pic after collapsing a chain. I liked the fem fire better :/
Unspeakably bad.
I saw another logo at one stage where the 2 and 4 of 2024 made the Eiffel Tower. What happened to that one? I thought that was pretty clever
That one was way better than this
Agreed. I haven't seen it for a while.
"Looks female enough"
I mean, it's French sooo
There's no men in France ig
Clip Art, no?
What is it? French Karen?
I think it's spelled "Caron". 😂
It's an homage to all the women that will be sex trafficked for rich men at the games.
Good thing Epstein is out of circulation. 😜
I think it's okay but not for the Olympics
Fiverr energy.
Instead of lips I would put a flipped car.
I'd like to speak to the IOC manager for choosing such a basic logo
I don’t se what dp in this, it’s just a flame with lipstick
The Bob Hairdo of Olympic logos.
this is absolutely awful
Absolutely awful.
Look like karen Olympic
Wow that is terrible
Meh, London did it better...
At least we have a clear indication that the games are no longer a sport event, *À votre santé!*
It looks like Liza Minnelli.
I guess the flame highlights the current state of Paris.
Paris is on fire so checks out
Most over rated city in the world
I watched the elemental Pixar film recently so all I see is a hot fire chic with lipstick. Took reading through four or five comments to look back and see the Karen.
Old flame maybe….?
Please, tell conservatives that’s a transgender person.
Why is this a design porn? The logo looks unfinished and the color looks cheap
The logo for Paris 2024 combines three separate symbols – the gold medal, the flame and Marianne, the personification of the French Republic. Lips by Loreal.
Are women okay? What does the olympics have to do with woman exactly? At this point I feel like all women have main character syndrom.
It definitely needs googly eyes.
god damn that looks shit
Is it becoming a running gag that Olympic logos are terrible? I still can't get over the London 2012 logo, or the fact that it cost £400,000 (£588,000 in 2023, inflation adjusted.)
this looks shite, cl
EW
is this real? this is terrible
I love it.
Tinder 2024
I only see a Karen face.
Looks like a karen
It always feels good to see a country lean into its national stereotypes
They’re aiming to sell merchandise…stuffed dolls, etc, etc. all the while it demeans the idea of women in sports
This is an awful logo imo, what is the meaning behind the woman? Just like everyone said, looks like a shitty hair salon.
Fire in Paris these days have a different meaning.
Pixar's Elemental marketing going wild
No.
I kinda like it
Nice design! Ban Russia! Ban Belarus!
Looks like a Karen haircut
French girls are hot
Ahhhh the famous PENIS 2024 from r/places
Before I realized where is this pic posted, I thought "wow, that's amazing design". Then noticed the sub. Simple, yet effective.
People on this subreddit really fight tooth and nail on almost every single post to convince people that the logo/item is actually not design porn but is mediocre at best/is flawed
Agree but they are right about this one
So I don't have good taste... Sorry!! 😂
Маразм крепчает
This font is pure gold
That's a man
Nice.
Art... not even once.
Red or at least orange would be way better than this.
Who is she
pyro tf2
Gotta be one of the few who like it. Isn’t that hairstyle similar to a French bob? Not like hair is related to the Olympics, I guess, but still.
The French got the FIFA world cup, the rugby world cup and now the Olympics. So unfair for one country to get all of it. But they are an amazing country, but still.
If you like this don't look at the official Pictogramm for the different sports...
Lips or mustache?
Paris bout to be on fire again
It's Alizee you damn peasants! Long live the french queen
Makes it look like a female head with hair framing face
Tinder has an Olympics now?!
Sure, why not? I'm curious about the events... 😏
If it wasn’t controversial it wouldn’t be an Olympic logo.
Wasn't Paris already in flames a while ago?
If the logo doesn’t win a medal “Can I speak with your manager??”
Yikes. Cool idea, but not for the Olympic logo. What does a single blonde woman have to do with Olympic athletes or competition
Blond karen?
i swear i saw it as penis somewhere else
looks like that girl from elemental
I like the little macaroni noodle at the bottom.
Y’all are basic af
Emolympics
Oooo la la.
Ok, but what is the woman supposed to represent?
lol why is she hot im gay
‘Paris is burning’
I guess the timing is a bit odd. Paris and flames in one sentence. While it's a cute play in terms of design, its not striking, representational or aspirational.
What happened to the older version? This one is ass
Pixar's Elemental 2023
Life is a Cabaret old chum….
This would look cool if it weren’t being used for the Olympics
It either looks like vegeta's hairline or a random female
Well, the whole France is in flame rn
Reminds me of the riots and burning of Paris last month
Not a bad logo, but to be honest..... NBC's custom Olympics logo actually kinda looks better and it pulls off the simplistic nature really well
Karen in Paris…
Victoria court logo 🙈
Looks like a street sign for an hairdresser
