Mixing mascot and logo?

I like the mascots. However, it would be illuminating to understand the Japanese logic for printing the 2020 Olympics logo onto the mascots. From a design point of view, it makes no sense. In branding terms, it is uncommon to allow such logo juxtaposition. From a humanist point of view, branding with head tattoos is controversial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:c22:b819:8e00:c493:cd00:dc1c:3436 (talk) 06:53, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a Japanese-specific thing. If you look at almost all historical Olympic mascots, they also include that year's Olympic logo on the design somewhere—usually on the belly. As a result, it seems to me that including the logo on the design somewhere is a mandate from the International Olympic Committee rather than a design choice by this particular artist. I was unable to find any discussion of this in my research, however, so we can't really include it in the article. Mz7 (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
