Alpes 2030: emblems inspired by mountains and light unveiled
The two emblems of the Alpes 2030 Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games, inspired by a mountain revealed by light, were unveiled on Thursday.Together, the two emblems symbolise the mountains and light of the French Alps, forming a unified identity, as explained by Edgar Grospiron, president of the Alpes 2030 Organising Committee."The same mountain will unite the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2030, he said. That is why our two emblems were conceived as complementary expressions of the same vision. Together, they embody our ambition: to give Olympism and Paralympism the same place, strength and visibility".Grospiron also stressed France's rich Olympic hosting heritage, pointing to Chamonix 1924, Grenoble 1968, Albertville 1992 and, most recently, Paris 2024 as shining examples of the country's ability to stage world-class events."We know how to organise big events. We've proven it. We have the expertise, the people and the infrastructure," he said, adding that the region's mountains are already among Europe's most popular winter tourism destinations.The newly unveiled emblems were also warmly received by French winter sports athletes. Double Olympic snowboard cross medallist Chlo Trespeuch praised their clean design:"I find them very stylish, simple, minimalist and timeless," she said. "They also have a nice story. Those two emblems complement each other, between the Olympics and Paralympics. I can't wait to wear them!".Meanwhile, double Olympic cross-country skiing medallist Richard Jouve said the designs capture the spirit of the host region."Those emblems represent our mountains well. The design and colours are really nice. It's a great way to kick off the Games!"."Different yet inseparable, they form a whole: one of the Winter Games united by a shared vision, a shared energy, a shared territory and shared values," the Organising Committee said.Two emblems were chosen one for the Olympic Winter Games and one for the Paralympic Winter Games to represent the identity of the next Winter Games in France. They are built around three key elements.Rays of light reveal the contours of the landscape. They open up a perspective, the promise of clarity, warmth and renewal.Mountain peaks embody the field of play of Alpes 2030: Alpine sports, challenge, raw beauty, pushing limits, and awe.The point of convergence represents coming together. Where the rays meet, the summit appears.The emblems of the Alpes 2030 Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games feature a range of colours inspired by two elements of mountainous regions: light and ice.Midnight blue and azure blue evoke altitude, depth, stability and the horizon.Red and pink alpenglow recall moments when sunlight warms the mountain peaks and brings vibrancy to the landscape. They represent the energy of the event, as well as the spirit of sport and enthusiasm.*As part of this launch, a new Games signature has officially been adopted: Alpes 2030. This new naming replaces Alpes Franaises 2030 / French Alps 2030.
