Seoul 1988: Sports Pictograms
Designer: Bu Yong Hwang & SLOOC Design Department
In the spring of 1987, 30 designs for the new sports pictograms were finished: 23 for the official sports, one each for marathon and water polo, four for the demonstration competitions (baseball, taekwondo, badminton and bowling) and one for the Torch Relay. In May 1987, the Organising Committee approved the new pictograms after they had been put through their paces. It was important to those responsible that the human figure drawn was not only simple and clear, but also as similar as possible to the “real” human body.
