Ninja tactics
忍術(shù)

A tongue-in-cheek riff on a Japanese icon came from a band called The Ninja, whose design incorporates the star-shaped shuriken weapon.
名叫“忍者”的樂隊(duì)基于日本文化標(biāo)志——忍者，進(jìn)行了比較輕松逗趣的即興創(chuàng)作，標(biāo)識中還融入了星形飛鏢。

Paper crane
千紙鶴

A popular motif is the paper crane, which represents peace and good luck in Japanese culture. It is usually given to people in hospital to wish them a speedy recovery, or placed at war memorials as a symbol of peace. Twitter user Shiratori_52 said the Summer Games logo used a red color symbolizing passion and the Olympic flame's "holy fire", while the Paralympics logo's color represented the bright future of disabled people.
還有一個(gè)人氣較高的標(biāo)識圖案是千紙鶴，在日本文化中，千紙鶴是和平、好運(yùn)的象征。千紙鶴也常被送給住院的病人，祝愿他們早日康復(fù)；千紙鶴也被放在戰(zhàn)爭紀(jì)念碑前，象征和平。推特用戶Shiratori_52表示，夏季奧運(yùn)標(biāo)識中的紅色象征著熱情和奧運(yùn)圣火，而殘奧會標(biāo)識的顏色代表殘障人士的美好未來。
