Despite hosting an Olympics as recent as 1998, Japan’s preparations for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are not going to plan. In the latest mishap, the logo for the event has been scrapped because the designer was accused of plagiarism.

The logo (shown above) was unveiled in July and was designed by Kenjiro Sano, a Tokyo native. But recently, Sano has faced accusations of plagiarism because it looks curiously like a logo Olivier Debie designed for Belgium’s Theatre de Liege in 2013. According to The Guardian, Debie even began a legal attempt to stop the Tokyo Olympic committee from using Sano’s logo.

At first, Japanese officials tried their best to reject the plagiarism claims, but during a crisis meeting, organizers decided to scrap the logo.

“We thought it might be difficult to get support from the general public” because of the issue, Toshio Muto of the organizing committee said today, notes Japan Times. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe approved the decision to scrap it.

However, the committee still believes that Sano didn’t do anything wrong. Sano has also denied that he copied Debie’s design.

While the logo might seem like a small issue, it is the latest fumble for Japan’s plans for 2020. Earlier in July, Abe scrapped the design for the games’ main stadium, which was also supposed to be used for the 2019 World Rugby Cup, as the costs continued to rise. There is still no new design for the main stadium, just five years before the games are set to take place.

Tokyo previously hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics. Japan also hosted the 1972 and 1998 Winter Olympics.
