Oct 3 (Reuters) - The ⁠Brisbane 2032 Olympics organising committee's elaborate logo ⁠reveal went off-script after its own YouTube channel ‌accidentally leaked the cockatoo-inspired emblems three days ahead of schedule.

Portions of the designs had been unveiled this week during a ​teaser campaign across Queensland, with ⁠the full picture set ⁠to be revealed on Monday.

However, the official Brisbane 2032 ⁠YouTube ‌account uploaded an "emblem explainer" video ahead of time on Friday, complete with the ⁠full logos displayed in the corner and ​detailed notes ‌about the inspiration behind them in the video ⁠description.

The committee ​on Saturday posted pictures of the logos on social media, writing: "Consider this your official reveal.

"Inspired by our ⁠reef, beaches, hinterland and everything in ​between, they bring together the places, people and spirit that will take us to 2032."

Brisbane 2032 chief ⁠marketing officer Brent Hill said they were excited that the emblems were out in the world.

"If we had our time over, maybe there are different ​ways that we could have ⁠done it," he said.

"But from our side, we wanted ​the clues to be out ‌there and... the reaction to ​it has been really positive."
