Organizers Name 2034 Winter Games 'Utah 2034' With Transitional Logo and Early Merchandise

The statewide identity reflects IOC-supported regional hosting rules, with Salt Lake City still set to stage the ceremonies.

Overview

  • The new name and a transitional logo were unveiled at Salt Lake City International Airport exactly 3,000 days before the 2034 opening.
  • IOC and USOPC officials approved the Utah 2034 name and transitional mark, with a final Games-time brand expected in 2029 under IOC rules.
  • Utah 2034 merchandise went on sale immediately online and at select venues through an agreement that allows early U.S. sales and shares proceeds with LA28.
  • Salt Lake City leaders said dropping the city from the title "hurts," while organizers emphasize the capital will host the ceremonies, medals plaza and several medal events.
  • Gov. Spencer Cox called the logo "bold" and acknowledged criticism, stressing it is a temporary design as planning continues across venues in five counties.
