IceCap Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 now if only CBF (the brazilian soccer federation) will have it in their heart to change the "meh" logo to something like this!A poll on a Lance -- one of Brazil's big sports dailies has the approval at 85%.The CBF currently uses national symbolism for their logo, something that will never age or go out of style. Replacing it with some trendy web 2.0 design would be a huge mistake.

nash61 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 My first thought was: "]hat's SO MUCH BETTER than London's!"

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

derp Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Also, from the APRIO DE JANEIRO -- The logo for the 2016 Olympics in Rio was unveiled Friday before more than 1 million New Year's revelers on Copacabana beach just before midnight.Carlos Nuzman, president of the Rio Olympic organizing committee, says the logo "conveys passion and transformation."The flowing symbol resembles three figures -- orange, green and blue -- embraced at the arms and in a flowing dance."The logo for Rio's 2016 Games conveys passion and transformation. The passion of all Cariocas and Brazilians for sport and celebration," said Carlos Nuzman, president of the Rio Olympic organizing committee, "Carioca" being a nickname for Rio's citizens. "And the transformation that the Games are already bringing to Rio and to Brazil."Olympic organizers have said the Rio 2016 brand was created to reflect the city's culture and represent its natural wonders and joyful residents. Organizers said the logo was based on four pillars: contagious energy, harmonious diversity, exuberant nature and Olympic spirit.Nearly 140 agencies initially participated in the process to design the logo and only eight made it into the final phase. A multidisciplinary team of 15 national and international members of Rio 2016's organizing committee made the final decision a few months ago, selecting a design created by the Rio agency, Tatil.IOC president Jacques Rogge made his first visit to Rio since the Pan American Games in 2007 and, in addition to seeing the logo unveiled, used the past few days to take a close look at how the city has been preparing for the Games.A giant TV screen set up on the beach beamed the logo to cheering spectators. Shortly after, a massive flag with the logo was rolled out atop the crowd, who caused the banner to shimmer as the partiers danced underneath it."I would like to congratulate Rio's team for the design chosen as the logo for Rio 2016, which is very innovative and creative," Rogge said. "It really reflects the vision of Rio and Brazil for these Games." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
