Alphabet Man Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 don't think these have been spoken about, if so, sorryTorino, Italy 2006 Winter GamesBeijing, China 2008 Summer GamesVancouver, Canada 2010 Winter Gamesi think the Vancouver logo is the best out of the three, the others are too basic for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think Vancouver is the worst out of those. I like them all, but by far my favorite is torino, so classy and simple, nice color, and it represent everything it needs to represent, a mountain, a church staple from St. Antonia in Torino, a snowflake, and it?s in Italian national team color (Azzuri).Bejing is alos nice, I'm sure it has deeper meaning then just a running guy, while Vancouver is also nice, can deny that.

Cuss16 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think the vancouver one is just the bid logo, the one for the actual games is still being decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea there was a steeple of note in Torino, see a star rather than a snowflake in the pattern, don't get the impression of "mountain" (I see "perspective twist effect" or maybe "reaching to the sky"), and that's not the shade of blue that I associate with the Azzurri.For an international audience, I feel the Vancouver and Beijing logos convey the locale better.

machpost Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I like the Torino logo the best. Very clean.The Beijing logo is the weakest, in my opinion. It's just ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think Vancouver is the best by far. Beijing looks like that character is made out of spaghetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yes, Vancouver's logo is just the bid logo, they still have yet to unveil their actual olympic logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuss16 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think Vancouver is the best by far. Beijing looks like that character is made out of spaghetti. I think that's because you don't understand what it means, it's actually a chinese character meaning Beijing. I personally think it's a very well-done logo because it has that traditional Chinese feel in it while at the same time conveying the spirit of sports and Beijing through the style of the logo.And I am not sure if it's true or not, but the squigly lines seem to represent the great wall. Anybody knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 They need to use that logo for Vancouver, because it's very nice. The Torino one's ok, if a bit abstract. Meaning behind it or not, the Beijing logo just looks sloppy. That, and it looks like they've recycled the font from Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody knows? I learnt Chinese for 5 years, and I've never seen a Chinese character as flexible as that. They've very square, and rigid.Chinese don't use a circle at all, so the logo looks like a sloppily put together person. Head, body, out of proportion legs, made to look like a Chinese character, if you didn't know what one looked like.To suggest it's the character for Bei Jing, which is made up of two words, is someone's media spin.The emblem named "Dancing Beijing" is a red Chinese seal with a lively dancing figure (形象) drawn in calligraphy (书法). The figure looks like the Chinese character "Jing" meaning Beijing. 北京(It doesn't really)I prefer Vancouver for the sailing boat, the moutains and the maple leaf.Everything about it says Vancouver.

the_cynic Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The Beijing one isn't bad at all. What exactly makes the Vancouver logo better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Beijing looks like that character is made out of spaghetti. And here I was thinking that it was a bamboo string playing soccer... silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo soldier Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i like the torino one the best, just looks very cool imo. i like the bejing logo the least, just a personal preference (which brings us to this question - aren't all preferences personal? its a thinker ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I like Torino the best of all three. But i thought Beijing broke out a different logo at the close of the Athens games. Vancouver's just looks like it should have Canada thrown underneath, not Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo de Tejas Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I find Torino's the worst, simply because it needs to be explained to make sense.

Not knowing what the design is supposed to be, makes me less inclined to like it over the other ones. Still, aesthetically it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I could be wrong but maybe it resembles the Mole Antonelliana located within the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
