Rafa Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 why dont Rio copy the NYC 2012 logo but with that man on the mountain in it instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Montreal logo is good! I like... It's very 70's... M over olympic rings, the leaf (symbol of Canada)... The movement... It was a great logo for the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well, to be honest, I kinda like the sugar loaf images they use for our bids. At least, I think it's more appropriate then slapping a nice pic of Jesus on the cover of our bidbooks. Christ the Redeener and the cable car are by far the most easily recongnizable sights in Rio. I think it makes sense. I wouldn't complain if they get creative someday and make something with the Lapa Arches or the Copacabana beachwalk pattern. I would be nice for a change. =] One of the proposal, and the logo I sent to a election here in Brazil contained the Copacabana beachwalk pattern. But, it seems Sugar Loaf is the most easily regongnizable symbol of Rio. By the way, the Copacabana beachwalk pattern was inpired in some that exists in Lisbon since the XVII century.

Dino Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I actually prefer Chicago's torch logo rather than the star. The torch has images of the skyline, fire and water--symbols that are synonymous with Chicago. The star is ok, but its meaning can only be understood by looking at the Chicago flag. As for Rio, I actually like the logo. See that rio supporters--not all Americans are anti-Rio bid. However, when I first saw it, it reminded me of boobs.

Cauê Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well, the Rio's Logo for a brazilian boy (I, Cauê ) Logo: Number 1 element: The Sugar Loaf Number 2 (2-1 and 2-2) element: The "M" of the "Marquês de Sapucaí Avenue". The Temple of Samba and Carnival Number 2/1 element: The "M" or the sun up of the Sugar Loaf Number 2/2 element: The "M" or the sea blue. Below of the Sugar Loaf Green Element: The "Trevo de Quatro Folhas", this plant symbolizes "luck" for the Brazilians. It is the 'amulet' in this logo.

PulSamsara Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Tokyo - easy. It's far and away the finest logo. ------------------------- Chicago's will be better once they revert after the selection to their old logo.

Rob2012 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wow, I'd say it's arguably the worst of the four (Rio's and Chicago's are great, as was Doha's before they got the boot). Tokyo's has those horrible, horrible, horrible glow and graident effects that look like they were applied by someone who's just learnt a piece of graphic design software but hasn't been taught how to use the effects within it with any subtlety. It's a nice concept horribly executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 You're the first person I know who actually liked Doha's logo! I really liked it. It was a very clever concept nicely executed: "...the Arabic version of 2016 (in green) is wrapped around ‘Doha’ written in Arabic in maroon" And these are merged together to form a type of flower native to the region. The balance between the text and the graphic element was nice as well and it still looks good on the website (which was never taken down) http://www.doha2016.org/en/index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always personally felt that Doha's logo looked a bit clumsy in the manner that it's graphical linework was executed. I really likes Prague's bid logo (the first one). I loved how it had such simplicity and just seemed very beautiful in the sense that it was a piece of grass blowing in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 See, I thought the same things about that that you think about the Doha logo. Clumsy and that font is horrendous! That logo was so bland (I actually redesigned Prague's logo in the GB logo competition last year) and lazy in its execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslopes54 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 outta the recent logos i think sochi is the best one: This is an Interesting one I found but nto much symbolism just alot of creativity : Now these I dont like and it lacks originality: The ball is the only thing that adds up to it, 2014 for a logo is dumb..but pretty colors..

For me, the worst ever was the logo proposed for São Paulo in 2014... Thanks for the design comunity it was withdrawn a week or so later and a new one will be developed.

After a lot complaints from the design community, it will be redesigned... Aparently it was "designed" in a rush for the announcement of the host cities. I was created by one of the Brazil's biggest publicity agency (MPM). This is what happens when advertisers do the job of designers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should consider a career as a graphic designer (if you are not already one lol)! I didn't think Prague's logo was lazy - I personally loved how it had a gentle, lilting quality to it which symbolized the beauty of Prague itself!

Bezzi Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Mexico 68 and London 2012 are the worse logos in history in my opinion. They hurt my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTown16 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is an Interesting one I found but nto much symbolism just alot of creativity : The Toronto 2016 logo looks like it came out of a Beatles ad: CHItown '16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslopes54 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Toronto 2016 logo looks like it came out of a Beatles ad: CHItown '16 I see the similarity. Lodon should adopt this logo nd get rid of that ugly one. Take out the CN tower nd put the BigBang on that ring, it'll look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzi Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Rio is improving their logo along the time: 1997 (2004 bid): 2004 (2012 national bid): 2005 (2012 bid): 2007 (PANAM Games): 2007 (PARAPAN Games): 2008 (2016 bid): I think Rio can make a fine logo for 2016.

cslopes54 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Rios 2016 logo is ok but too dark nd fading colors. Pan ams was the best one yet. I don't really like Madrids but it makes me happy to look at so does chicagos. Tokyo makes me "huh?" nd Rios I count the hearts.. they've put too much thought to it, instead of makin sleek and simple, the entire city is included in the design. =\ more useful for an environmental organization Or something like that, for me it screams "natural energy : water, wind, sun, green" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 2008 (2016 bid): I think Rio can make a fine logo for 2016. Actually the current Rio logo reminds me of 2 porpoises/dolphins (like amother and child dolphin) yapping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 London's 'ugly' is, in it's relatively short life, the most successful Olympic logo designed to date in many respects.1. It's the most recognized. I suppose you mean in the UK - I doubt that this statistic is valid for the whole world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
