Ninja tactics
忍術

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”的樂隊基于日本文化標志——忍者，進行了比較輕松逗趣的即興創作，標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.
還有一個人氣較高的標識圖案是千紙鶴，在日本文化中，千紙鶴是和平、好運的象征。千紙鶴也常被送給住院的病人，祝愿他們早日康復；千紙鶴也被放在戰爭紀念碑前，象征和平。推特用戶Shiratori_52表示，夏季奧運標識中的紅色象征著熱情和奧運圣火，而殘奧會標識的顏色代表殘障人士的美好未來。
