The gold-and-white (or, perhaps, black-and-blue depending on how you perceive colors?) emblem seems to show the Olympic flame, but is also intended to be a representation of Marianne.
Marianne is the national personification of the French Republic, its values of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, and the Goddess of Liberty.
It’s the first time in history that there is no difference between the Olympic and Paralympic logos. On that, Paris 2024 president Tom Estanguet — a three-time Olympic gold medallist in slalom canoeing — said:
💬 “In terms of legacy, we believe that in this country we need to strengthen the place of sport in the daily life of the people. Whatever the age, whatever the disability or not, you have a place and a role to play in the success of Paris 2024.”
Quite right too.
