Probably not but it's a lot better than that big wordmark they've been using as their secondary logo.

This is an exerpt from an article regarding the logo:
"[The] NBA’s logo classification system is in its own world, but I’ll try to explain it. Every NBA team has the option of setting two primary logos — one intended for use domestically (“primary icon”) and one for use internationally (“global logo”). The global logo must include the full name of the team."
So essentially a global icon is just a logo with the full team name, likely for global recognition. By definition, these are 'global icons':

In america these would just be secondary logos. Interesting concept that’s for sure.

Seems to me that their regular logo is so unmemorable that they need to have a separate one with their name on it, so people can figure out who they are.

This logo featured on Collingwood's official Instagram account. Just something slightly off-brand or a hint of a future logo change?

Saw that too but we only just got a new logo last year so I wouldn't bet on that. With that said though I have seen a lot more usage of magpie imagery at games, specifically of the swooping variety...

First I’ve seen it. They seem to have another logo?
Pretty sure its just a fan mockup, but its very slick.
Looks stunning but it’s not official unfortunately. IOC are incredibly strict on what can and can’t be done to the rings.

Makes me think of the Police Games or something

The best bit about it is that it was all drawn by hand. No software to perfectly step and repeat those lines.
yep!
There's a brilliant podcast of the construction of that logo
Mexico 68 - 99% Invisible
The 1968 Olympics took place in Mexico City, Mexico. It was the first Games ever hosted in a Latin American country. And for Mexico City, the event was an opportunity to show the world that they were a metropolis as worthy as London, Berlin, Rome or Tokyo to host this huge international affair...

Watford have a competition to design their logo.

Also a link to the style guide which is a nice resource

You can actually see the marks of the compass used to draw the circles!

Simpson for Strawberry
The top logo is the standard version, used on light bases, while the bottom is the reverse version, used on dark bases
It's similar to how the Cats have a standard version ('CATS' written in blue) and a reverse ('CATS' written in white, outline around shield)

The second one feels more hand crafted verses the top version which is very mechanical.
