Brisbane 2032 Olympic, Paralympic logos revealed, include cockatoo

The logos for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics have been unveiled, featuring a distinctive cockatoo emblem. Six years prior to the first Games in Australia since Sydney 2000, the sports organizers revealed the emblems. The logos are inspired by the reef, beaches, hinterland, and various aspects of Queensland, aiming to capture the places, people, and spirit leading up to 2032.

Described as distinctive and unmistakably Queensland, with a touch of cheekiness, the logos are officially unveiled. Social media posts highlight the connection between the logos and the city's essence. The cockatoo, an outback Australian icon, is incorporated into the design. Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city after Sydney and Melbourne, has been awarded the 2032 Games since 2021.

The 2000 Sydney Olympics featured a logo depicting an athlete with Australian shapes and colors, including a boomerang and the Sydney Opera House. LA 2028's Olympic torch relay will visit all 50 states, starting in Atlanta, marking the first time an Olympic torch relay will travel across all states.
