Guess I was mistaken.

Love the subtle reworking, Ali.


Since Paris in 1924, most of the logos have not had the coloured rings. The whole bunch can be seen here.

Some of them don't make London look too bad.

This hasn't applied to many recent ones, though. I assume that in earlier years monochrome logos were often chosen because colour printing was very expensive (especially given that they would have wanted the colours to align properly). I don't mean for printing by the organising committee, but for smaller organisations/companies who needed to reproduce it. Multi-colour logos also would not have looked good on black-and-white television.
