PyeongChang 2018 Organizers Unveil 24 Official Sport Pictograms

The official sport pictograms for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, "numbering 24 images, were unveiled on Wednesday," according to XINHUA. The vision of the PyeongChang Games is "New Horizons," which has been incorporated into the design of the pictograms to "ensure a South Korean look and feel." They have been designed based on the Korean alphabet known as Hangeul, "a system of letters unique to Korea and which was also used in the design of the official Games emblems." The pictograms represent the 24 sporting competitions "across the 15 disciplines of the Olympic Winter Games." The pictograms will be "used on marketing materials and signage in the Games" (XINHUA, 1/25).
