Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo designer refutes plagiarism accusations 东京奥运会会徽的设计者反驳了抄袭的指控 6 August 2015（2015年8月6日） 翻译 @白木碉
Kenjiro Sano, who unveiled his logo design for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics last month, has denied allegations that he copied the design from an emblem for a Belgian theatre. Kenjiro Sano上月公布了他为2020年东京奥运会设计的会徽，否认了抄袭一家比利时剧院徽标的指控。
The Japanese designer told journalists there is "absolutely no truth" in claims that he plagiarised the logo while speaking at a press conference in Tokyo yesterday. 在昨日东京的新闻发布会上，该日本设计师告诉记者对他抄袭的指控是“无中生有”。
"I take a lot of time with every design, nurturing them like children," claimed Sano. "So for this kind of talk to emerge is really unfortunate and kind of sad." “我在每个设计上都用心良苦，就像培育孩子一样，”Sano说。“这种谈话真的令我感到不幸和悲伤。”
Belgian designer Olivier Debie, who created the logo for the Théatre de Liège in 2013, accused Sano of copying his symbol after the Olympics design was revealed in July 2015. 比利时设计师Olivier Debie，于2013年设计了那座剧院的徽标，而当2015年7月份奥运会会徽披露之后，他控告Sano抄袭他的设计。
"I am extremely surprised to hear the remarks of the Belgian designer," said Sano. "I would like to take this opportunity to state that his claims are completely groundless." “我对那位比利时设计师的言论感到难以置信，”Sano说。“我愿意借此机会来说明他的指控毫无根据。”
"I was shocked and found it hard to accept, to be honest," he added. "But I've never been to Belgium, nor seen the logo even once." “说实话，我不仅感到震惊，而且难以接受，”他补充道。“因为我从未去过比利时，从未见过那个徽标。”
Debie posted an image on his Facebook page presenting the logos side by side and tweeted an animation he created to show the similarities between the two designs. Debie在他的Facebook主页上把两个徽标并列放在一起并发布了一个他制作的小视频，以展示两个设计的相似之处。
Both logos feature a bold T shape, circles and graphic serifs. According to the games' organisers, Sano's design is based on the T in Tokyo, tomorrow and team, while Debie's combines the letters T and L that stand for Théatre and Liège. 两个徽标都有醒目的T形，圆形和艺术字。据比赛的组织者说，Sano的设计来自于Tokyo（东京）、tomorrow （明天）和team（团队）的首字母；而Debie则是将分别代表 Théatre 和Liège的T与L融合在一起。
Even though his logo is not a registered trademark, Debie has reportedly asked the International Olympic Committee and Tokyo games organisers to change the logo, and threatened legal action if it is not withdrawn. 即使他的徽标并不是注册商标，据说Debie也要求国际奥委会和东京奥运会组织者更改会徽，并威胁如果不撤回就诉诸法律。
"Their logo was not a registered trademark, so there is absolutely no problem," said Tokyo 2020 marketing director Hidetoshi Maki. “他们的徽标不是注册商标，所以当然没什么问题，”2020年东京奥运会运营总监Hidetoshi Maki如此回应。
