The logo features Marianne, the female embodiment of the French Republic, but some aren't happy with how she's portrayed. Feminist Rebeccas Amsellem thinks Marianne has been sexually objectified.
From the Wall Street Journal: "Rebecca Amsellem, an author and founder of the feminist newsletter Les Glorieuses, said she thought the logo was a hoax when she first laid eyes on it."
“On top of it being ugly, it looks like a teenager who’s about to go to the club for the first time,” she said. “It’s really diminishing for women.”
From the Washington Post: "Amsellem wrote, the Olympic logo objectifies women by treating Marianne as an object of sexual desire. “Because of the objectification of which women are victims (even when they are supposed to be a symbol of the Republic), they learn from childhood to internalize the importance of the eyes of others on their faces and on their bodies.”
What do you think? Personally, I think the original logo with it play on 2024 and the Eifel tower was great.

I kept thinking I wasn’t seeing the logo that was being talked about. I must be missing something if that image is objectifying women.
-
What was wrong with the original logo? It's much better
-
Looks like the olympics was sponsored by Tinder

I'm still confused what they are talking about. -
I don’t think that it egregiously objectifies women, but it does look like the Tinder logo.
The Eiffel tower one is better anyways. -
I see a flame, not a womyn.

I prefer the original is vastly better and the new one is ugly. But there is nothing sexual about the new one.

Olympic game logos are usually quite bad. The worst was the 2012 London Olympics.
So this tinder inspired logo hits the spot.
But I admit I liked the old version a lot better.

The logo looks horrible but doesn't objectify women in any way.

Libs be crazy!
LOL
Fake outrage.
Sad. -
IMHO, it doesn't objectify women, but no doubt some radical feminists think so.
The committee that approved this, "Ils sont stupides!"
The spirit of Paris is best portrayed by a lipsticked female mouth?
And, yes, it doesn't help when that's plastered atop a Tinder-like flame.
Looks more like logo for an Escort service than a prestigious International Athletic event.
Replacing lips with a small Eiffel Tower would have been better. -
I was thinking it looks more like the Fyre Festival logo. Hopefully Paris 2024 will have better planning.

Abslolutely , the Eiffel tower one is great. But it was designed and built by men , so that might not work. -

I think it's a lame, stupid logo. Do I think it objectifies women? No. Do I think it is in good taste? No. Would I buy something with that logo on it? No.
