wheateater Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I don't think I've ever seen any products that blantently have a maple leaf [...] on it. How about Molson Canadian?

wheateater Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 you guys can have the better logo..cause were going to out medal you anyways I can't decide which is better: Tons of funding going to Olympic athletes in a country of damn-near 300 million with HMOs, or.....little-to-no funding going to Olympic athletes in a country of barely 30 million with Medicare (which, by the way, is a product of Saskatchewan)?Seriously, medals are nice, but when we have 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad snowmobiling, I'll take our 7 medals--all in rowing, mind you--and our free drugs.Drugs are good, m'kay?

IceCap Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 you guys can have the better logo..cause were going to out medal you anyways didnt u guys lose to pr in basketball? isnt that suppose to be ur big sport that u are garunteed to win every olympics? and dont give me that c**p about "canada has only won one hockey gold in 52 years." there is a difference. all of the 6 big hockey nations use nhl all stars up the ying yang, so the playing field is balanced. the only country that has a complete roster of nba all stars is the usa. as for the logos, canada has the better one. u can look at it and imedietly know its the logo of the canadian olympic team. however it wouldnt take much to make america's better. just add an eagle to the centre of the wreath, and u have a pretty good logo, not as good as canada's though PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Conceptually, I like the Canadian one more, but the gradient and the random black outline make it look ameteurish, IMO.I've always dug that British team logo, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Conceptually, I like the Canadian one more, but the gradient and the random black outline make it look ameteurish, IMO.

Frenchie Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 O.k., here are my two cents:-Nothing worng with ONLY ONE identifying symbol: The Maple Leaf. Many OTHER Countries have Stars, Stripes, Eagles, NONE use The Maple Leaf.-The Gradient is awful.-In my mind, the Wreath is a Greek symbol. (sometimes Roman...)-GB logo: Rings look like wheels of a shopping cart.-Best logo I've seen in a long time: US Skiing !!!-US will Kick Canada's butt in Medals: Sure, as long as you have the best scientist and doctors to hide illegal substances... (Talk to Ben Johnson about it)-US Basketball loss: I won't say anything, since I'm still not over Canada's World Cup of hockey loss...Now that we talked logos, how about Apparel?ROOTS rule... Isn't there an American apparel company that can compete? @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I like this picture of the Italian Olympic Committee logo, on a flag in the background I didn't realize that a menorah was associated with Italy. I voted for the USA logo because something just strikes me as wrong with superimposing a flame over a leaf. Somehow this could have been done differently - somehow. This is one instance where the relative simplicity of the USA logo wins out although I do agree it really doesn't have any national iconography so to speak.

quantum Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I chose the US logo, but only because the Canadian logo looks like clipart. Lose the gradient and Canada wins IMO.

Survival79 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 and dont give me that c**p about "canada has only won one hockey gold in 52 years." there is a difference. all of the 6 big hockey nations use nhl all stars up the ying yang, so the playing field is balanced.Nice try, but NHL players didn't compete at the Olympics until 1998, with the Czech Republic winning the gold medal.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I voted for Canada, a bad logo showing your pride is better than a good logo totally throwing it out of the window.WE ARE AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE! HOME OF THE BRAVE(s)!WE LIKE OUR FLAG! WE LIKE OUR EAGLES! AND WE LIKE OUR BLING BLING AT THE OLYMPICS!SO SCREW YOU CANADA! (j/k) I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me.
