I think they're really creative and work well as pictograms. Especially badminton, rowing and track cycling are really cool!

I like these pictograms as art pieces. Not sure how well they work as, well, pictograms.

My thoughts exactly. These are fantastic from an artistic and genre innovation perspective, but they’re not really a successful form of non-verbal communication in regards to being universally understood.

What about sport climbing? It stands out well, and it is probably my favorite of the bunch.

not so immediate, imho...nice design, though.

These pictograms defeat their purpose as soon as you take 5+ seconds to distinguish the sport. 

   

 

Give me back my stickmen with a ball.

I said to someone on Twitter.. creative teams for TV networks will have some fun with these.  Might not be the most useful to identify what sport they're all for, which will be unfortunate for people on the ground in Paris

This pictogram is a mess, but maybe that’s a fair representation of where modern pentathlon is right now.

One of those lines you read, and think, “damn, wish I would have wrote that.”
