There's a new look for the next Winter Games, coming to the French Alps in 2030.
A pair of abstract images said to draw inspiration from "a mountain revealed by light" will serve as emblems for the 2030 Winter Games, set to be held in multiple locations throughout France and even the Netherlands.
The mountain-like image, filled in with bright blue stripes tinged with reds for the Olympics, is reversed for the Paralympics that follow for athletes with disabilities. Both "Alpes 2030″ emblems use the French name for the country's portion of Europe's iconic peaks.
"The same mountain will unite the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2030," said Edgar Grospiron, president of the French Alps organizing committee, calling the two emblems "complementary expressions of the same vision."
It was nearly 29 years ago that organizers of Utah's first Olympics rolled out their logo for the 2002 Winter Games, a stylized gold, orange and purple snowflake embodying snow-capped mountains, crossed skis and a high desert sunset.
