It is hoped the move will create unique identities for each sport and to raise awareness of Paralympic sports across the US. 

The three new logos capture the unique characteristics of each sport, while also sharing cohesive elements.

All three logos are the colours of the American flag - red, white and blue - feature stars in the design and are in the shape of a shield.

Individually, each logo has a visual representation of the sport, a unique accent colour and a specific font identity.

Graphic design and branding agency Axio Design, based in Colorado Springs like the USOPC headquarters, created the new logos and identities. 

All three organisations shared their new brand identity on social media.
