TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese designer of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem hit by a controversy over its similarity to a Belgian design said on Friday he had never seen the other logo, after the Belgian designer hinted at legal action.
Questions about whether the Tokyo emblem was too close to the logo for Belgium's Theatre de Liege erupted on social media earlier this week after designer Olivier Debie drew attention to it, with many demanding an explanation.
