As a small French design company with only 20 people, “we never think that we could win”, said Sylvain Boyer, the designer of the 2024 Paris Olympics emblem, in an exclusive interview with China News Service.
He mentioned that initially, they just wanted to share the idea of female participation in the Olympics. The emblem design process involved hundreds of minor adjustments, and when they learned that their work made it to the finals, “it was just amazing”. (Zhao Li)
