Tokyo 2020 Olympics ditch logo amid accusations of plagiarism

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are logo-less once again.

A month after unveiling a design that incorporated the letter T and a red circle like the one from the Japanese flag, Tokyo Olympic organizers have decided to drop the image amid accusations of plagiarism.

The announcement was made Tuesday, just four days after the organizers stated their public support of designer Kenjiro Sano following initial allegations that he had copied a 2013 logo for the Theatre de Liege by Belgian designer Olivier Debie.

Debie and the theater had filed a lawsuit to prevent the Tokyo Games from using Sano's design.
