The Games organising committee said there were too many doubts over the emblem for it to be used.
Logo
designer Kenjiro Sano admitted copying online material when questioned
by organisers, Japanese media reported. A Belgian graphic artist had
complained that his design was stolen.
In July Japan scrapped a controversial design for the new Olympic stadium.
"We
have reached a conclusion that it would be only appropriate for us to
drop the logo and develop a new emblem," Toshio Muto, director general
of the Tokyo organising committee, told a news conference.
"At this point, we have decided that the logo cannot gain public support."
