One of the colors of the 2024 Olympics that cannot be left unsaid is the mascot used in the competition, which is used as a symbol of good luck for the host or designer. At the same time, it is used to entertain the audience, including creating fear for competitors. Interestingly, the word Mascot has its roots in the French Mascotte, which means a lucky charm. The mascot of the 33rd Summer Olympics is called The Phrygian. The question is, what is it? What meaning does it want to convey? And how interesting is the design? Today,V9Betwill take everyone to find the answers.
The Phrygian is a mascot inspired by the Phrygian hat, which is a symbol of French freedom. It was the hat that the revolutionaries wore to show their identity and determination during the time when the land of France was on fire, leading to the great reform of the country until it became a full democracy as it is today. But did you know that this hat actually originated in Roman times? It was the hat that slaves had to wear to identify themselves when they were freed and became ordinary people again?
Of course, the design of The Phrygian is not ordinary. Since the origin of the mascot name was in France, the design team presented the mascot called Phryge. It is a Phrygian hat that comes with cheerfulness and friendliness. It does not come alone, but comes as a family of Phryges in every sport. Each one has its own unique identity. They are collectively called The Phrygian tribe, creatures that will bring peace back to a world full of chaos.
Julie Matikine, Branding Director of the Paris Olympics, said about the goal of the mascot design that “We want to convey the spirit of France. It makes us an extraordinary country. We have a unique philosophy of life. We have many interesting cultures. That is what we want to explain about this competition. And we decided to show it through the mascot, The Phrygian, to tell the whole world about it.”
It is a tradition for the host of the Summer Olympics to continue the work until the end of the Summer Paralympics. Of course, France chose The Phrygian as the mascot of both events. The difference between the mascots of the 2024 Olympics and the 2024 Paralympics is that the Phryges, instead of being fully 32, will change to wearing prosthetic legs or sitting in a wheelchair instead, to indicate to online sports bettors V9Bet about the existence of disabled people. Although their bodies are not fully 32, it does not mean that their hearts and minds are also lacking.
The Olympic Phryge was created as a character of a woman who is full of intelligence. She is a careful strategist who never takes risks even when there is a small chance of risk. The design team wants to convey this character to the athletes who travel to compete in the Summer Olympics. Everyone randomly practices and plans everything very well. Even though there are many things happening in her mind, she will hide it so that no one can touch it. In order to explode with power to reach her intended dream Phryge's Paralympic character was created through the eyes of online football bettors as a woman as well. This is another time that the design team wanted to reflect the feelings and thoughts of athletes who compete in the Summer Paralympics. She may wear prosthetic legs that are different from her fellow tribe members, but she is never afraid of anyone and always runs at lightning speed. What people may overlook about the feelings of disabled people is that she loves to seek new things and challenges. Whether it's team or individual competition, she is always ready to join because sports make her valuable in this world. Whether she wins or loses, she is ready to be happy with it.
The motto of the 33rd Summer Olympics is “One person may go fast, but many help you go further.” It is an extraordinary proverb, considering the global society where people think of themselves as the most important thing, especially France, which has to face many domestic turmoils. Freedom in this land has led to people of many nationalities living together, which eventually became the cause of various conflicts that the government had to face and deal with every day, to the point that calling it a civil war would not be an exaggeration.
The appearance of The Phrygian is a reminder to the descendants of the French, including the Thai Olympic cheering team, to remember the various times that have passed, because this hat has gone through many historical events in the land of France, starting from the construction of Notre Dame Cathedral in 1163, the great revolution in 1789, the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1887, and the 1924 Olympics. It is a symbol of freedom, a Liberty Cap that many people are forgetting.
Therefore, with the thousands of years of experience of The Phrygian tribe, they are not just Not only will they know colors of the 2024 Olympics, as well as all human beings who live together on this planet, in order to make the hot world peaceful again, and show that sport can change everything, whether it's health or relationships with others. It won't be long before everyone can celebrate together through the greatest sporting event on the planet.
In addition to the mascot, The Phrygian, the host, France, has also prepared many colors of the 2024 Olympics. But what cannot be left out is the competition logo, which at first glance might seem like a flame and was inspired by the torch used to start the competition. But in fact, it was designed by combining 3 things: sports, competitions, and France. Namely, the flame represents the Summer Olympics, the gold color represents the athletes' precious gold medals, and the overall image of the circle that is seen as a young woman represents Marianne, the first female athlete to participate in the 1900 Olympics.
France also designed the logos of various sports based on the concept of the protest slogan, "Sous les Pavés, la plage!" or "Under the cobblestones, there is a beach!", resulting in the logos that represent square cobblestones. At the same time, there was a major decoration of the city of Paris with 4 main concepts: Celebration, Transfer, Rationalisation, and Personalisation. To strive to show the equality of all human beings under the slogan Games Wide Open, a competition that is open to all Olympic viewers for free.
