Design contests are a bad idea. Hire an agency and tell them what you want.

[Athensfan 1081]

Design contests arouse interest, but rarely yield a great result....

Great, so it left Doha and Istanbul.... :

[afiqnadzir 100]

cant wait for them....hurmm..goodluck everyone..

[alphamale86 47]

After Seeing Tokyo, Baku and now Madrid, What is up with them leaving BLACK out of the design. I mean I get it they don't have to but I feel as though this cycle everyone is forgoing the African continent.

[Athensfan 1081]

Omitting black is not tantamount to ignoring Africa. There's no rule saying the bid logos have to include the ring colors. There have been good logos that made no attempt to tie to the rings at all. Its not a racial or geographical slight. It's just an aesthetic choice.

I'm sort of surprised that we're seeing so much purple though...

[tikus_kecil 21]

I think since purple is the closest colour to the black, so in Tokyo and Madrid instead of using black, they just replace it with purple, the closest one, and don't forget, on the all logos, the font still black

[Galandar 40]

Could someone explain this to me, why cities change their logos afterwards. So the latest two cities of Sochi and Rio changed their logos to new ones. Is it kinda new rule set by IOC?

[tikus_kecil 21]

Because he first logo was the logo for applicant/candidate city, there is rule in this logo that you can't use something like torch, fire etc, while, when your city become the host, you MAY change the logo big to the original games bid, but it'snot a rule to change this logo, even if you check to winter games, albertvile 92 use the same logo, lillehammer just turn their logo, , isn't a must, but if you change the logo you can make more money, it's about merchandising and money

That's a nice one. Gives a whimsical spin to it! They should save it for the next one!

Galander, to add to Tikus' answer to your question. The answer really is timing and intended audience. There is much less time to whip up a logo for the Applicant-bid phase than when a city has won the designation. Also, the bid logos are primarily for the consumption of the 100 or so IOC members -- just to help give them a brand identity to vote on.

Now, when a city is officially named a host...remember that the Host city logo will live on forever and ever, and it will be used VERY COMMERCIALLY by the global sponsors; so a whole "vetting" process (i.e., IP searches globally for every country in the world to make sure that another very similar logo has not appeared already elsewhere and is still in use) has to take place; probably advertising consultants are asked their views on it, etc., etc. So it will be a lot more thorough process than in the Applicant phase because it will then appear to the billions of consumers around the world. I hope I explained that clearly.

That easily would've been the best of the bidders.
