officeglenn Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The organizing committee for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, to be held in Vancouver, is set to unveil the official Games logo on Saturday, April 23, live on CTV at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT): News Release.It's a shame they have to change it, I think. I really liked the bid logo, and was hoping they'd keep it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I saw a 30 second TV promo Thursday. They really are making a big deal out of this. Although I'm with officeglen, I do like their bid logo. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I saw that on TV and thought--hmm I should post it, but forgot--Maybe the "real" logo won't be too different...

DarthMan Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 oh yeah, that is a nice bid logo "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster C Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I love the bid logo too, and I'm with you guys in hoping that the real logo doesn't suck, especially since we'll be seeing it all around Vancouver for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 if they are going to change a good logo, it better be really good twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Usually, bid logos are "ok" compared to the official logo. Most were upset when the Atlanta games went from a multi-colored circle of stars (bad description). To a 100 year star torch. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 TSN.ca has posted an article on the logo unveiling here. "I'm really excited about it," says John Furlong, CEO of the organizing committee. "When you've seen it, you won't forget it."That really could go either way ? does he mean you might not forget it because it's very nice, or you might not forget because it's an horrific eyesore?To use a journalistic clichΓ©, only time will tell.

gameface Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was watching the Vancouver morning news while waiting for the NFL Draft to start. I saw a blurb that said it was rumoured to look like an Inukshuk, with each individual component of the inukshuk a different Olympic colour. I'd try to mock it up, but, well, I'm hopeless.

dfwabel Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Usually, bid logos are "ok" compared to the official logo. Most were upset when the Atlanta games went from a multi-colored circle of stars (bad description). To a 100 year star torch. I disagree, the bid logos of recent were better than the IOC official ones. Atlanta, SLC, and Sydney bid logos were better to be since they usually use the colors of the rings rather than other colors. We also have to look at it for the time, would LA '84 "Stars in Motion" be good looking today? Speaking of that, shouldn't the Nats have asked Disney to resue "Sam the Eagle" for their mascot as opposed to the eagle who looks more like a relative of "Woodsy Owl"?

DMadSport Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was watching the Vancouver morning news while waiting for the NFL Draft to start. I saw a blurb that said it was rumoured to look like an Inukshuk, with each individual component of the inukshuk a different Olympic colour. I'd try to mock it up, but, well, I'm hopeless.According to this link, an inukshuk serves as a landmark and navigation aid. Also, this inukshuk statue is meant to serve as a symbol of hospitality and friendship.In other words, "Welcome to Vancouver; we hope you enjoy your stay." The more I see that statue's picture (and its outstretched arms), the more I have the feeling that it will be the basis for the Games logo... though just like you, I am going to miss seeing that bid logo.

What you are forgetting is that colours on the olympic logo are not in the right places, which is why I think it's just a concept I saw, I came, I left.
