Overview
- Cojop unveiled the two complementary emblems in Briançon Thursday, showing an Olympic mark of eight blue strokes with a red tint and a Paralympic mark made of sixteen negative‑space strokes that interlock into a square.
- Mathieu Sakkas and his team designed the identity in about two months using a ‘mountain of light’ concept that emphasises diffraction, a blue‑white‑red palette tied to France and the Alps, and a minimalist, timeless typography.
- The public reveal at Parc des Sports was a free, ticketed show with a ceremony, a reveal performance and a 90‑minute concert that featured athletes including Florent Manaudou, Nantenin Keïta, Pierre Vaultier and Chloé Trespeuch.
- Organisers say the brand launch comes as they finalise the venue map and prepare presentations for the IOC and IPC, while operational work continues on moving ice events from Nice to Lyon, redesigning the Lyon athletes’ village and settling contractor and regional funding issues.
- The committee frames the identity as exportable and legacy‑focused, linking the 2030 Games to past French Winter Games and signalling that financial savings from venue moves must be balanced against redesign costs and indemnities that will shape delivery.
