nd1irish Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Chicago's bid logo for the 2016 Olympic games
Drew22 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 It's ok. Not great, but Kinda cool looking. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks
The_Admiral Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 They don't have a stinking chance. And I love Chicago. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
Gothamite Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Can't speak to the bid, but I love the logo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
CC97 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Yes, I like the logo... it's clever.Although the Chicago skyline in flames is a weird image --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram
Cyclopsis Joe Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Wow, I don't think Chi-town will get it. Nice logo though. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me.
eriqjaffe Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Yes, I like the logo... it's clever.Although the Chicago skyline in flames is a weird imageWouldn't be the first time Chicago's skyline was in flames.
DDR Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Yes, I like the logo... it's clever.Although the Chicago skyline in flames is a weird imageWouldn't be the first time Chicago's skyline was in flames.Is that a Great Chicago fire joke? Masterful. Yeah, I'd be shocked if Chicago got it. But, that's not such a bad thing for people who live there. It's gonna be hell getting around and to me, the Olympics just aren't worth that headache. Anyway, cool logo. I didn't catch the skyline at first.
powersurge Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I kind of like it, though I think the water/torch part needs to be reworked. Its either a bit to wide or the curve needs to be steeper. But I like the concept.
rtrich11 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 A torch! How original. It's not like it's crap, but it's quite "in the box". cafepress.com/artbyrichards
seattlefan68 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 A torch! How original. It's not like it's crap, but it's quite "in the box".It's not just a torch.
Tazz013 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 What is the handle supposed to be, just a reflection of the skyline? Save the slugalo.
Puck Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 What is the handle supposed to be, just a reflection of the skyline?I'm betting just the handle.
pflava Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 That's a nice, simple logo rendered in a tasteful way. Thumbs up.I wonder where the Olympics will actually BE in 2016 - because it isn't Chicago.
Dilbert Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Craptacular! Signature intentionally left blank
RichO Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 What is the handle supposed to be, just a reflection of the skyline?The colors sort of suggest the lake.
rtrich11 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 What is the handle supposed to be, just a reflection of the skyline? It's the lakefront parks blending into the lake.It's not just a torch. I think I got that. cafepress.com/artbyrichards
fiasco! Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 simple and elegant...i think they did a great job with that logo. kudos. LinkedIn
DrBear Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 What's going to hurt the Chicago bid is what killed New York for 2012 - the lack of a track stadium. They can't really rejigger Soldier Field without cutting the capacity. The other venues are reasonable - the United Center for hoops, Allstate Arena for gymnastics, UIC pavilion for women's hoops, Northwestern Ryan Arena for boxing, Loyola's gym, the old DePaul gym, the new soccer stadium, and so on. McCormick place would host a lot of minor events (fencing, weightlifting). Navy Pier and the lakefront could host beach volleyball and triathlon. And sailing, instead of being shunted off to a coastal city, could be held in Lake Michigan.There was also some talk of moving some events to northwestern Indiana and southeast Wisconsin. Which, understandably, has me interested.
