The official branding for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games was leaked on Friday via the event's official YouTube channel. The leak occurred three days prior to the planned public unveiling, which was scheduled for the following Monday. The video, titled an “emblem explainer,” appeared briefly on the platform before being removed, but not before the designs were captured and circulated.

The leaked emblems feature bird-inspired motifs, specifically utilizing the imagery of cockatoos. According to the footage, the Olympic emblem depicts a pink cockatoo, while the Paralympic emblem features a sulfur-crested cockatoo. These designs were meant to be the culmination of a week-long promotional campaign that involved placing various pieces of the puzzle in locations across Queensland. The organizers had intended for the public to assemble these visual clues leading up to the official Monday announcement. While the leak disrupted the planned reveal, it provided the public with an early look at the aesthetic direction the Brisbane committee has chosen for the 2032 Games.
