Special Olympics competitions are the core of the movement, showcasing the athletic skills, courage and dignity of thousands of athletes with mental retardation from around the world.
Competitions—from the thousands of local events around the world to the Special Olympics World Games—offer an invaluable opportunity to raise the profile of Special Olympics and reinforce the movement’s visual identity.
Games logos, sports pictograms, print and electronic publications, and signage all come together to create a “Look of the Games” that helps provide an attractive, exciting atmosphere for the competition. The look of the Games also should support Special Olympics’ visual identity, helping creating recognition and awareness as the movement grows worldwide.
