The new logo for the Olympic Winter Games has been announced! Eurosport, who is the official broadcaster for this event, recently unveiled its logo for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
This event will prove to be a new era for Europe, being the number one sports destination. The event will be broadcasted across the Eurosport screens and platforms and will witness a build-up towards the actual sporting event during PyeongChang 2018.

These three logos can be seen headed by an arched silhouette mountain – which is basically representing the Winter Games setting while the silhouette represent the shape of the Olympic rings. The logo itself will be seen using a vibrant color palette and the silhouette will be seen coming in several variations.
Commenting on the logo, the CEO of Eurosport, Peter Hulton said: ” As the new Home of the Olympics in Europe and a proud partner of the world’s greatest sporting event, we want ensure Eurosport is synonymous with the Olympic Games at every opportunity.
