In Topic: The Look of the games

21 May 2012 - 11:09 PM

Must say Im not too impressed with the use of the look on those banners.
I am generally pleased at the look and design of these Games, I was a sceptic at first but it has come together generally in a good way. Im still not a huge fan of the logo, but they have made the best of what they gave themselves.
I think the look and angled lines look fantastic when accompanied with the pictograms, but on those banners, it just looks like a single colour , lines on a sheet.
Im sure as a total urban design project this look is going to be a winner, and from what I've seen in vid mockups, the venues will look fantastic - but in terms of this kind of signage, it's abit of a fail.
Yes they add colour , but we can't be serious in saying that is enough.

I posted this on the Rio 2016 news thread, but italian Filmmaster Events and brazilian SRCOM are producing not only the handover but also the 2016 ceremonies. (Filmmaster Events is also doing the Euro 2012 opening and closing ceremonies)


I read that somewhere.
Come to the Rio ceremonies, are these guys just producing it, as in, are they seeking another mob to be the creative drive beside it?
In any case, I guess this consortium are doing everything for the handover.

I see Rio as a city that could follow the Sydney handover model and have alot of success.
Not that I see them as needing to *copy* the handover in Atlanta, but the whole model of showing all the aspects of a lively and *exotic* city to the world would work well.
Showing the colours, the sounds, the iconic backdrops, the people, the dance, the quirks etc etc.

Aslong as the opening segment doesn't include 2000 people banging bits of sh1t that they've found on the side of the road in an ode to urban youthful percussion in Great Britain , I will be a happy wee critter.
