While the Tokyo Olympics wrap up this week and the athletes set their eyes on the 2024 games, so is the interwebs but for very different reasons.
While the logo has been around since October 2019, the roasting only now beginning. Many are comparing it to the ‘Karen’ memes thank to the similarity to the haircut often associated to the name.

The logo itself, according to a New York Post report, is meant to ‘depict three symbols: the Olympic flame, a gold medal and the hair and lips of Marianne, the personification of France since the 1789 revolution.’

The previous logo to this was an Eiffel tower looking “4” above the words ‘Paris 2024’ and the Olympic rings logo
Feels like a good time to remind the timeline that Paris 2024 had literally the perfect logo that represented the number 24 and the Eiffel Tower, and then bombed it off for a logo that looks like a dating app for middle-aged women who yell at baristas. pic.twitter.com/KNLTirvmS0
