Athan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 We weren't expecting Rio to create a better logo than Atlanta's... 1996 logo is unbeatable Quote
Ikarus360 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Although some people hates 1996 logo, personaly its one of my fave ones and the one which brings me more nostalgia (i was too young to remember Barcelona). Try taking a screenshot and uploading it somewhere, Baron. But if you say that is better than London and Sochi, then at least thats a relief Quote
Bezzi Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 I've seen the logo. It's OK. You're talking about that logo with the shape of a bird? Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 You're talking about that logo with the shape of a bird? I can't say. It was shown to me on condition of secrecy! You'll have to wait!! Quote
Ikarus360 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Wait what? Seriously can someone post a link? I can't say. It was shown to me on condition of secrecy! You'll have to wait!! As always you're one step away from us Quote
DannyelBrazil Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Well, Rio 2016 website changed already to a full yellow theme... Is this a tip for what will come tomorrow? www.rio2016.org.br --- I like a lot the Atlanta 1996 logo. One of my favs too. Indeed, except Beijing and London, I like all the logos for SOGs since LA 84. I can't say. It was shown to me on condition of secrecy! You'll have to wait!! I dare you to say the colours, at least. And you can't say you saw the BW version of the logo... Quote
Ikarus360 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Hmmm, the logo will be very orange, indeed...my favorite color Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 I dare you to say the colours, at least. chartreuse, periwinkle and bone Quote
DannyelBrazil Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 Ok, let`s search for these colours. First: Chartreuse... Hmmm, Char... char what? Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 No. Actually, the colors are very carnavale!! Quote
DannyelBrazil Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 No. Actually, the colors are very carnavale!! I bet on something very sunshiny (yellows) and few elements in green and blue. =] Quote
tpman Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 OK... the logo is way better than the awful World Cup 2014 logo. I think Rio is doing a good work until now. And the logo is also better than London 2012. Quote
danfla Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Rogge saw what he wanted by Michel in Castellar 02.jan.2011 at 13:41 pm On the night launch of the logo in 31 days in Copacabana, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Jacques Rogge, a summary of his visit to Rio The manager said he already knew everything that was happening in the advance of the works for the 2016 Games, and revealed the real reason for his visit: to meet people. In reality, Rogge has demonstrated that it was the much vaunted unity of the three levels of government was a reality. And failed. He left impressed. In his four days, the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes and Gov. Sergio Cabral Filho endeavored to show the excitement and commitment to promote the Games Rio 2016. And on Saturday, Rogge was treated for head of state to attend the inauguration of President Roussef, who also mortgaged to support the Games, as reported in the previous post. - The most important thing was to know the people because the Games are made by people. And finding such support. In addition to the public people, Nuzman and his team are fantastic. They know what needs to be done. And yet confirmed the quality of the people - said Rogge. Quote

As far as I know those are the main actions promoted so far. Yep, I think this is pretty much all. I think you might add that the surroundings of the Maracana Stadium will also be under renovation.

Scotguy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 The Rio 2016 slogan is very similar to Torino 2006 slogan Quote
DannyelBrazil Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Did Rio unveiled its definitive slogan? Quote
Scotguy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 DannyelBrazil As the slogan says: "Live your passion" - Wow, Rio 2016 threads are bombing! I was presuming by your status update that it had Quote

Jim856796 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Theduplication of Avenida Niemeyer is going to be a difficult job. Currently, it is a two-lane road cutting through some difficult terrain. It can be very difficult to widen. Also, which highway in the Port District will be replaced by an underground tunnel? 1 Quote
aluz Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Theduplication of Avenida Niemeyer is going to be a difficult job. The duplication of Avenida Niemeyer is challenging but not that difficult. Most of it is carved in stone, so they could cut the mountain and/ or create an elevated extension on one of the sides. Most of the road length has no construction, so the costs of buying land should not be an issue, unlike other options. It can be very difficult to widen. Also, which highway in the Port District will be replaced by an underground tunnel? "Elavado da Perimetral" - The one that runs parallel to the shore line. Quote
Jim856796 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 And how is RdJ's port area going to be redeveloped before the Olympics? Quote
danfla Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 And how is RdJ's port area going to be redeveloped before the Olympics? The project for redeveloped already started, the estimated budget is about 3 billions dollars. Quote
Jim856796 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 I didn't say when. I said how. What is the port area going to have after its redevelopment? Quote
DannyelBrazil Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 I didn't say when. I said how. What is the port area going to have after its redevelopment? Rio city hall has a website for how the works have been done and how it will look: http://www.portomaravilhario.com.br/ Enjoy! =] Quote
