Category: Environment Date: 2007

In Tokyo's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games, the bid logotype and mark was released in July 2007.
The concept was "musubi" or "to tie," and a Japanese traditional craft mizu-hiki (fine decoration cords made of paper) was chosen to symbolize it, in the five colors representing the Olympic mark. To enhance the movement for the Olympic bid, space graphics were rolled out to cover major public facilities in Tokyo. In June 2008 the IOC selected Tokyo as one of the official Candidate Cities for the 2016 games.
