The mark consists of a rectangular image with a beige border and an inner outline in grey featuring a discus thrower surrounded by flags. In the upper right corner of the mark is a mauve-colored circular shield with grey and black outlining and shading. Centered on the shield is a red crest with a stylized white castle having two flags with red hands on them. Surrounding the crest is a green laurel wreath with six alternating white and pink flowers. Behind the shield is a sword with a golden hilt and grey blade pointed up. Hung from the tip of the sword is a green laurel wreath. Across the top of the image and streaming down the left side are multi-colored flags.

To the right of the cloth is a brown-haired, brown and beige-skinned male athlete with a strip of red cloth covering his midsection. He is holding a brown discus and is standing in front of a stylized grey shaded city scape with blue shading and a white river. A grey shaded gothic cathedral spire protrudes prominently from the cityscape with blue shading. Above the horizon, the sky is colored gold. Below the image is a beige line and a green box. Written in the box, in black stylized letters, is "-VIIE OLYMPIADE-". Below that is written "ANVERS (BELGIQUE)" in black. Below that is written "1920 AOUT-SEPTEMBERE 1920" in black.
