The logo of 2020 Tokyo Olympic is plagiarism?

The other day, somebody suspected that 2020 Olympic’s log is much similar to another logo. Here is the comparison image.


Needless to say, they are too similar… Kenjiro Sano designed the Olympic’s emblem and after this suspicion spread,  he denied that he hadn’t plagiarized the theater’s emblem.

Seeing this news, Japanese net users censored his works and many works which he seemed to plagiarize were found. The following are the examples.


You see the emblem of “BEACH” Original designer got mad at and sued him. Also that Belguian designer sued WOC(World Olympic Committee) so that it won’t use the emblem.

The following is another example.
Mr Sano’s design for new museum.


This design was created before Mr Sano handed in that museum
