A Marianne for a small revolution. The organizers of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris-2024 presented Monday the final logo of the event. In a gilded round, symbolizing a gold medal, the Olympic flame, in curves and points, is hollowed out. And lips at the base of the flame reveal a stylized face, representing Marianne, the allegory of the French Republic. A logo that wraps our editorialist Virginie Phulpin.
"I like it a lot, I think this logo carries the values of France, it's a little pompous, all right, but it's important What are the values of France? The logo is the same for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and this is a first, and we can be proud that Paris is innovating in this way. "All athletes are involved in these games of 2024, it makes no difference. Well done !
Heard on europe1:
"Put Marianne forward is to prove that we are still standing, and that we kept our values"
What do we want to give as an image of Paris and France? We want to show human games. So the logo has a face. Logic. The face of a woman, Marianne in this case. We affirm our republican identity. Paris has been bruised in recent years. And it is the Republic that Daesh attacked. To put Marianne forward is to prove that we are still standing, and that we have kept our values. I find it stronger as a symbol than the Eiffel Tower. Do not worry, everyone knows that the Eiffel Tower is in Paris, we do not have to decline all the sauces.
This face has a boyish cut. This cup is that of the crazy years. 100 years ago. We bridge the gap between two Olympics in Paris, those of 1924 and those of 2024. And that goes further. This boyish cut is the symbol of women's emancipation. And even today, we need to fight. So yes, I love it for all that, this logo.
