Why The 2022 Special Olympics Logo Is Like No Other

The next Special Olympics is being held in 2022 in Orlando and the organisers wanted to create a logo for the event that would perfectly capture the sprit of the city and the games themselves.

The Special Olympics isn’t held at the same time as the Paralympics or the Olympic Games, but the games are officially recognised by the Olympics committee. All the athletes that compete have a mental or physical disability. The logos and themes for the games look to celebrate the differences of the athletes and reminds people of the hard work and dedication that they put into their chosen sport.

For the next Special Olympics, the logo will be like no other that’s come before it. For the first time ever, disabled athletes from the games have helped to create and design the logo. They were encouraged to create a logo that best represented who they were and what the olympics meant to them. This touching video shows us that process. It shows us just how much this means to all of the people involved and how much they appreciate this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
