Beijing 2022 unveils sports pictograms

Sigulda (FIL) The Organising Committee for the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 unveiled its new sports pictograms to the start of the new year 2021. According to the organisers, the release of the official Games’ pictograms “capped an exciting year of preparations for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022”.

The 24 pictograms for the Olympic Winter Games, which have been inspired by traditional Chinese seal engraving, identify each of the disciplines across the seven Olympic winter sports. However, freestyle skiing and snowboarding are allocated six and five icons respectively due to differences in the equipment and courses used in these disciplines. Six symbols identify the sports of the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.

Designed based on the traditional art form of seal engraving, each of the pictograms depicts its respective discipline with unique strokes - like those carved with a knife on Chinese seals dating back to the Qin and Han dynasties. The pictograms embody both the motion of winter sports and China’s rich culture in modern graphics.
