2020 Olympics Logo Is Discarded After Plagiarism Accusations; New York Times, 9/1/15

Hisako Ueno and Makiki Inoue, New York Times; 2020 Olympics Logo Is Discarded After Plagiarism Accusations:
"Organizers of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo said on Tuesday that they were abandoning a logo recently chosen for the Games, bowing to a public outcry following accusations that it had been plagiarized...
Last month, a Belgian graphic designer, Olivier Debie, sued the International Olympic Committee to prevent the logo’s use, saying that it closely resembled one he had created for a theater in Liège, Belgium, in 2011."
