It's not too bad.
There's a nice balance here: the snowflakes bring interest in tight, close shots and the big hangul characters break things up enough in wider shots.
Could use with a little more texture and color combos, but it's a solid Look.

....so I see very little order in the use of colors in the venues, it seems there is a mix in almost all venues of all the Rio colors. There isn't really consistency by venue or anything very specific. It's more like a riot of whatever, just a full palette splash not monochromatic or ordered. a couple venues had a tier of cool tone trim on one level then a warm tone tier a level above. Some have cool tone panels then and orange border surrounding the field of play. I read there is a delay in delivery of some trim, and of course the city and venue signing seems to be an issue bubbling up too.
Maybe that's the point? Vibrancy created by lack of consistency in color.
There definitely seems to be less branding at Rio's venues. Is the border around the velodrome track just going to remain plain orange?

It can still use some more Look along the vomitories.

I wouldn't even refer to bid renderings as "promises". They're just renderings.
-
Sorry, but is this suppose to be surprising?

It's very dated looking, isn't it? The 64 logo looks much more contemporary than this one.
It's interesting that Rio and Tokyo have played it so safe. It's almost as if they were really frightened by the way London ditched the old formula and the negative reaction to that.
I still adore London's insistence to create a branded mark and contain all the elements within itself. These formulaic emblem-over-city-over-rings logos have all looked boring since.

They should have made many of the venues temporary. Surely there was some international company out there that could do temporary sports venues for cheap. Then you wouldn't have had the needless costs (even if they weren't maintained) post Olympics. Other venues should have been sold off to their post Olympic use immediately.
From what I understand, the Greeks opposed the idea of building completely temporary venues out of principle. They figured the birthplace of the Games should not do that. Someone please correct me if this wasn't the case.
Still, it boggles my mind that permanent venues for beach volleyball and softball were built.

The atmosphere seemed a bit stunted in comparison to other Games and you got the sense that a small country was doing something beyond their means...
But Athens 2004 really was a beautifully executed Games.
The ceremonies, venues, and Look were top-tier in Olympic history.
The glowing Aegean sun… the curling Aegean waves and blue waters… the green of olive orchards… the bright fucsia of bougainvillea flowers… ancient Greek vase patterns… stunning.

The bidding process has always generally bored my face off. It's the sexy and dramatic hostings that have kept me interested. But that's me.

This is quite easily the best World Cup I've ever seen. Incredibly excited for Rio 2016 now and I'm confident Brazil will be able to pull it off wonderfully, if only with some bumps and bruises before and during.

Because they all have their own idea of what a games would look like and they do not like being told that their image will never materialize...
Excuse me... what?

Some people in Japan dont like the design, i find this news originally in polish website
"Architect calls new proposal for Tokyo 2020 stadium a "sin""
http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/05/31/uk-japan-olympics-stadium-idINKBN0EB06A20140531
As for Cauldron issues, note that its trasparetn roof stadium, it gives a lot more space for ideas then normal closed stadiums
I feel like local people everywhere never like ****. Logos, stadiums, entire Olympics.
-
going to be hard if its overwhelmingly yellow and green
Except orange and blue is already being used as much as yellow and green so your point goes nowhere.
-
Possibly. The official Olympic channel now has (since last August) a series of "Olympic History" videos giving highlights of Sydney. Here's the torch relay/OC one, complete with highlights of the caudron lighting.
Oh yes, I've been watching that series. It's really great, though grossly centered on American stories.
I hope a full broadcast cut of the 2000 lighting is upload again soon. And I can't find a good one of Athens' anymore either. Shame not to have those two easily accessible.

Why has Sydney's cauldron lighting on Youtube disappeared? Copyright infringements?
-
and just to warp it up, it still looks like a penis
I suggest your partner pay the local clinic a visit.

Fantastic pictograms.

still look like a penis....more than the usual.
What type of penises are you involved with?
Nice cauldron, Sochi.

So this isn't going to be a "glossy bid phase rendering, more practical stadium built later" situation ala London? This design would actually get built in Tokyo?
-
I really like Sydney's cauldron. Its shape was very elegant and the flame burned beautifully and gracefully atop it (something that can't be said for most cauldrons nowadays, unfortunately).
The following at 20:50 is still one of the most beautiful images from any Ceremony. The cauldron slowing rising atop the stand, the stadium in full view, cameras flashing and reflecting off the cauldron, and the great voices of the evening's announcers. Very "Olympic." Stunning.

Beijing's was huge (and necessarily so I'd argue ), but Olympic cauldrons have really come in rather small, reasonable, and justifiable sizes when taken into the context of their respective stadiums.
I really don't know what Heatherwick was talking about when he pretty much said there was cauldron arms race going on with every subsequent host.
-
If Rio wants to spread the word, it should be sold as memorabilia as soon as possible, and in a cheap price.
It would be a success and everyone could have the logo at home. This would be nice.
That's a good idea, I think. It would work towards making the logo a memorable and distinctive icon that is truly synonymous with these Games in people's heads in the lead up to 2016, rather than something that will merely be put in the corner of publications.
-
It was used and applied well before the Games to really build the 2012 brand before the actual event. It didn't have much "work to do" once the Games arrived. It was pushed hard enough that it became synonymous with the 2012 Games in the host populace's head more so than any other past Olympic logo.
-
It's cool that it can be three-dimensional, but for the far majority of the time, the logo will be used on two dimensional surfaces. That's where it really has to work and become the visual mental placemark for the Games in people's heads. And because it follows the same old compositional scheme of past Olympic logos, it won't be as flexible in usage and application as London's.

This has to be the most anonymous Look since... the invention of Looks. The decorations at the venues look shockingly generic.
