Rio de Janeiro unveils 2016 Olympic bid logo RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Rio de Janeiro on Monday unveiled its bid logo for the 2016 Olympics — the famed Sugar Loaf mountain shaped as a heart to represent the Brazilian people’s passion for sports. The logo — in the green, yellow, blue and white colors of the Brazilian flag — has the writing “rio20!6,” with the exclamation point replacing the numeral 1 to symbolize Brazil’s heightened expectations with the chance of hosting the event. “The Sugar Loaf in the shape of a heart represents the Brazilian’s indisputable passion and vibration for sports,” logo designer Ana Soter said.
