The disclaimer that “we’ve qualified as a nation, but it’s up to the AOC to actually officially select them (and/or the players shown) as Olympic participants” is an interesting addition, though one that makes a bit of sense.
Are Basketball and the AOC not getting on at the moment? Seems like an odd comment to make so publically
I get it’s always been the AOCs decision around which sports to participate in, but I don’t think they’ve decided against participating in many events that we’ve earnt qualification in
Probably just a requirement for licensing of motifs like the Olympic rings (which of course is controlled by the AOC locally) by Basketball Australia. Maybe without the rings, they may have not needed that.

So it’s likely the graphic designer PR guy just looked up “Brisbane Olympics logo”:
Yep:
On another note, surely the Olympics qualifies as a sport that needs a thread?
Normally you’d have an interim “candidate city” logo for the bidding round, but given Brisbane was basically the only viable bid, that never really happened: the IOC web site for Brisbane '32 just has a word mark, the IOC and IPC logos, and the Queensland Tourism logo.
