Belgian theater drops Japan logo case

A THEATER in Belgium has dropped a plagiarism legal case over the design of a logo for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee said in a statement yesterday that the Theatre de Liege “has decided to waive the pending procedure”. But the Belgian graphic artist who designed the emblem for the theater is vowing to fight on. The first Tokyo logo came under scrutiny because of its similarity to the theater’s emblem. The Japanese emblem’s designer, Kenjiro Sano, stood by his work but it was eventually withdrawn. Belgian designer Olivier Debie said yesterday: “I am continuing.” He added “there is a lot of pressure from the IOC” to drop his case.
