Rob2012 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Excellent. I'm sure whoever's sponsoring this will want to get the good publicity sooner rather than later, so I'm sure we'll be getting some good renders appearing in the not too distant future. Let's keep the fan fares to the ticketing thread. We'll have only fanfares here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah will be good to renders - am sure they will revert to the original plan by the female artist - can't think of her name! I guess the company bankrolling it will be able to advertise the fact up to the olympics and receive a hefty chunk of Olympic tickets for their clients and employees!

The Tower Bridge Fox Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I wouldent call that artical a ringing endorsment of the wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianme17 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I hope so, but why so sure? I guess that they must have been so far down the line with the original plans - surely the original plan links-in with the coloured glass on the stairwells in the internal finishings? Also it wouldn't be cost effective to start from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Ive just seen the new BP Olympic advert, they are using images of the inside of the stadium with its iconic lighting towers right at the end, it looks great and it struck me how close the games are getting http://www.youtube.com/user/bplondon2012#p/u/7/AmFCGmQ4c0g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormiermax Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Any word on the rap? (I'm sure its been decided and I just haven't heard about it yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tickle Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 A slightly worrying development, spot the difference. I hope they havent chickened out of the orange track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTimeOnly Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Any word on the rap? (I'm sure its been decided and I just haven't heard about it yet.) Maybe you should ask in the thread about the London 2012 song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barstad the jock Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 been a year or so since i actually logged in so think its about time to start playing catchup....lol i may be talking out of a hole in my head here, but am i right in thinking that i read somewhere ages ago that the track was actually going to be a blue one like in the redeveloped Munich Olympic Stadium?????

Mr Tickle Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Some say blue, Populous wanted Orange but no real word on it. The hockey pitches being blue are a good sign that it will be colourful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thing is it might be LOCOG "paying for the track" or not...? If so, it will be all about budget..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Where did you find the second image Davey? They are both on the squint opera website in the stills section. They do all the London 2012 videos/animantions and they are both there. Ive never seen the one with the plain track before and Ive been on that site a few times, so thats what worries me, it makes me think its the most recent render. In another find though, Westfield have added a section on areas people can rent during the games, broadcasters etc. In all their renders the stadium is wrapped in the rainbow effect and looks good, so do they know something we don't or is it just to make the renders pretty. The views look fab though and Sky have rented the space havent they. The BBC must be fuming!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen-Seth Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I seem to remember a time when the rainbow affect was created by coloured lights that could then change and create patterns at will. There was a video, I think of it, and it looks incredible. Is that still the plan or has it been droppen in favour of the simple fabric wrap?

Just to clarify, it was light shown on the white fabric wrap that created the affect, and now I'm wondering if they've changed it so that the wrap itself is painted like a rainbow.

Soaring Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Can't wait to see the finishing touches on the stadium. BTW, I showed my 6 year old nephew the mascot videos, and he loved them. He wanted to watch it again the next day. It was a nice introduction to him about the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time he was 'reading / being read' an alien story book. Wenlock has become 'ugly bugly alien' - and my son adores him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
