A better quality version Inspired by Utah's landscape, the design is inspired by topographic maps. The logo is depicting the Olympic flame in a 3D view, like the imaginary rings that are drawn on the landscape to create the topographic map viewed from above. In the same vain, the color scheme is combining the winter of Salt Lake City, the Utah landscape and the Olympic flame, creating a vibrant gradient from blue, to purples, oranges and yellows. The topographic map is used for the look of the games and the branding material, too. The pictogram are representing another aspect of the geographical wonders of Utah. They are inspired by petroglyphs that can be found all over Utah, and especially the McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs. Blue is used for outdoor events, purple for artistic sports and the red is used for indoor events. For a better look of all the pictures

Sorry to hear about that. Spending good money on a holiday and getting bad weather is never great for anyone. Brisbane had very good weather during the 2024 winter with only 8 days in total of rain of any note. Four consecutive days the 12th-15th total 68mm (39mm on the 14th) being in August. Both the Gold and Sunshine Coasts are about 100klm away so can have different weather but usually very similar to Brisbane.

It’s unlikely the temperatures will be extreme enough to affect athletics performance one way or the other. They’re professional athletes and should be prepared for whatever conditions are thrown at them, within reason. But it’s likely to be a dampener on the actual enjoyment of the games. It’s one thing to say “just throw on a jumper or overcoat”, but it’s a real pity to miss out on one of the real joys of the summer games - the whole summer festival aspect of them. Enjoying a once in a lifetime event and partying outdoors when your city is at its best and cheeriest, in summer. When days are long, cafes and restaurants and outdoors venues are teeming with people enjoying the season in shorts and t-shirts and soaking up the atmosphere. Actually, speaking of long days - is Queensland contemplating relaxing their aversion to daylight savings during the games? One of the great things in 2000 was when we brought forward daylight savings for the games to make the most of daylight. Or are we going to see the city going dark at 5:30pm? Between that and the winter, there’s a real risk of a gloomy games. As Torchbearer says, September would have been bliss… just imagine showcasing the city to the world when Spring is lifting the mood and the jacarandas are blooming spectacularly and showcase the city at its prettiest. I’m sure it will still be a fun and exciting time for the city but not as much as it could, or should, be. And not as charming and enticing as it could or should be to our international guests.

I have been to the Gold Coast the last 2 winters- my God what a chilly, miserable place the beach was. I cant imagine how horrible competing in those conditions will be . I am a big ocean swimmer, but the sea was huge and thundering- and chilly. A Games in September would have been bliss...

Within the website you may find several new graphic elements that make up the Salt Lake 2034 design system: "CONTRAST" Showing the contrast between cities and nature, it shows the Salt Lake City skyline alongside the Wasatch Front and one of Utah's many iconic arches. "WINTER" Representing the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. If you look closely, you may see that the snowflakes are made up of the names of the host communities, representing the idea that the Games bring communities together, and that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.

I hath awaken Salt lake city is such a silly choice imo, but it still has such a special place in my heart for some reason. Anywho, here's my spin on a logo for 2034!
