IceNarcissus Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I thought it was just fine. Vancouver is built with the mountains in mind anyways. Why not capitalize on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.x Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 ....come to think of it, the mountains in the logo look like Whistler and Blackcomb with the valley in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowVest Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Does the NBC logo have to be approved by VANOC and the IOC? I still think it need some fine tuning. The letters should be the same size and more colour enhancement. What is TSN / CTV's logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtclvr05 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 London most likely shall be Big Ben. And for Sochi, NBC could use tanks & machine guns pillaging small countries. hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenadian Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 What I don't get is why NBC spends all that money on rights and then doesn't even use the official Games logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 What I don't get is why NBC spends all that money on rights and then doesn't even use the official Games logo. I dunno, maybe because they think their own logo gets across their message of "NBC's coverage of 'x' Olympics" better than the Illanaaq or "dancing Beijing" logos? ----------------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca2n_S34dz4 ^Anyone know what's with "24/7/12/365?"

YellowVest Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Many years ago NBC paid a Design Consultant $ 250,000 to come up with the current network logo: a Peacock with its coloured feathers spread. NBC's motto back then was "Proud as a Peacock". Somehow the Peacock in between the two mountain peaks; we don't have Peacocks here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 The NBC logo can be used with anything outside of the Olympic family, which is what the actual games emblems are limited to. That's why they make their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowVest Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 But what is the actual logo going to look like that we see painted on walls, etc at 2010 events? Is it the Inukchuk? Or is it another emblem? I understoof the Inukshuk was the official emblem of the Games. God forbid if we're going to see that everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanzaiB Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ugh, why can't the winter game logos be more reflective of the host city? It's always the same mountain backdrop. I would've been cool to see something like a totem pole or even a maple leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenadian Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes, just as it did for Nagano, Salt Lake, and Torino...and again for Sochi. Oh well, doesn't matter. Just NBC's graphic, predictable and recycled as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowVest Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm sure NBC's logo will undergo some changes. I must be a weak first attempt. Dick Ebersol has to do better than that. I'd like to see the http://www.nbcolympics.com site phase out Beijing now and start emphasizing Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.x Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 That's the final logo, and it goes back to the generic logos NBC has used for Olympic broadcasts before Beijing. You'd have to be delusional to think they're gonna change it.....and really, it's not a big deal - it may be unoriginal, but it's still heaps better than Torino, Athens, SLC, and Sydney....

NY20?? Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'd like to see the http://www.nbcolympics.com site phase out Beijing now and start emphasizing Vancouver. It'll probably remain Beijing oriented through December 31st, as that's when all their online video material (complete ceremonies, live streams, interviews, etc.) from Beijing is stated to be taken down. And even then, they’ll probably just use the Vancouver page they have now. Don’t have a cow about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 If I recall correctly, the Torino stuff was up for a few months and then nbcolympics.com directed to nbc.com for a year or so before Beijing. After all, what can they tell you about what's going to happen in 2010 when we don't yet know who the competitors or ones to watch will be? And if you want info on Vancouver, Vanoc, and the preparations, that's what vancouver2010.com is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
