On 2019-10-29, the emblem change was announced [1]: the dragon and
inscription were replaced by the Deaflympics logo, as seen in
the Deaflympics flag.
The change, which was
approved by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf, was to be fully
implemented in 2020 [1]. The photos of the flag currently available online date
from 2022 [2] and 2023 [3].
