raysox Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey guys. I've always wanted to do a concept for the Brazil Olympics for 2016, before anyone else. I finally had a lead on a sketch, and brought it to life. Olympic logos are mostly abstract, and mine's no different. It's 3 lines in the shape of Brazil. The Olympic rings are in the big green stripe. I put the logos and scripts on different colours, for examples. I added a logo of Christ the Redeemer, as an alternate/unused.I might do some more work on this if I get an idea. But can I have comments, por favor? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I like this. Good job raysox!(Now redesign the London 2012 logo ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishheatcats Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I like the primary logo a lot, but the Olympic Rings look weird at an angle like that. I would try putting them over, under, on next to(in the lower left negative space left by the Brazil shape) the logo the normal horizontal way. Also, I think the wordmark should be "Rio de Janeiro 2016" or "Rio 2016", not "Brazil 2016"One more note, I don't know if the Christ the Redeemer alternate logo would fly. You'd think the Olympics would want to be inclusive to everyone, no? Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fix that after a few more comments.EDITHows this? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlash Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I like the stripes idea, but I think you need more interaction between the stripes and the rings. Maybe have the bottom point of the stripes coming out of some of the rings.Also I don'tthink that word mark is dynamic or fluid enough to work with that stripe design. Try a different font.Congrats on being the first to try this though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonioks Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 They're really great and well designed, but you really should edit them to "Rio de Janeiro 2016", because Olympics are hosted by a city (and of course the home country put everything to it, but it's given to a city) and no nicknames like "Rio", because that would be like if Pittsburgh host the Olympics it would be "Steel City 20xx" or "Iron City 20xx".

raysox Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 I moved the rings down, added a new font, and changed it to Rio de Janeiro. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 That primary is sweet. I'm not really sure what to do with the rings. I still think it needs to go somewhere else, but I'm not sure where. It's still a great looking logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonioks Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Way better now with the new font and stuff, except the number 2 of 2016 looks more like a Zeta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more iconic. "Road to Rio" (I almost guarantee that ends up on a magazine or commercial or something). As for your comparison:Rio : Rio de Janeiro :: Vegas : Las VegasSteel City : Pittsburgh :: Sin City : Las Vegas.Great logo, RaySox. I just have one nitpicky criticism. I don't like the point where the green ends on left side. The stroke gets all small and pointy. I'd move the white line up just a tad so that the end of that block of green comes to cleaner break (like the blue area below it.) Just move it a tiny smidge.

goforbroke Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think it looks nice but I don't get the significance of the three stripes. it would be nice if the resembled something about the region... like maybe a rain forest-esqe firn, the aquaduct, mountains, beaches.... if you look at the Sidney logo it has a similar idea -- three stripes in the shape of something (in that case a runner) but they used a boomerang and the opera house roof in the stripes... in ur case, the overall shape is nice, but the three stripes that make it up don't really mean anything.

raysox Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Well, it started as a design, but I was somehow trying to think of something symbolic about them. Then I looked at it, and noticed the green looks like the mountains in Rio. I switched the yellow in blue, so it looks like Mountans-Beach-Ocean.Also tried to make a custom 2. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nice work... heres something that ive noticed that im not sure if its intentional:The green line looks like the olympic torch, doesnt it? It's a nice hidden element that maybe isnt even intentional dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 you should reverse the colors if you want them to represent mountains, beach, ocean. and I guess change the thickness so that the green can still be the dominate color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its really that big of a deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the logo though the water is on the west coast. The blue is the water, yellow is sand, and green is mountains. You're saying he should reverse the colors so that the blue represents the water but it already does. It just looks backwards because in the logo the water is on the left (west) side.However, In thinking about this it might work better if the mountains were in green and on the bottom and then making a little depth to the logo... sorta like this (terrible rough sketch) This way you have what you are looking to represent, keep the shape of Brazil, and have it geographically correct with the water on the east coast.

It would be a view of Rio from the north looking south, and in that view the water would be on the left.As for the logo overall, I like the latest update. I would prefer just "Rio" as others have noted.To make the rings and Brazil shape more unified into one logo I would try something like the recent World Cup, Confederations Cup and Club World Cup logos. Do a box(or some other shape), with the rings at the bottom enclosing the Brazil shape and put "Rio 2016" underneath the box. Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT!

raysox Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yeah broke. Your version just completly ruins the flow of the logo, but i get what you're saying.I'll make updates as soon as I get my computer fixed. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
