tikus_kecil Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The logo is good, but not as Olympic bid logo, I don't know, but for me, in my country, that flower look like flower bucket which you send to somebody who mourn, is that logo created to attract sympathy ? for 2011 earthquake ? but if this logo not for olympic bid logo, i'll like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Japan likes its flowers the same way the U.S. likes its stars... "Star Like" Bid Logo Host Logo Star/Snow Flake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes, the US does like stars (though I think SLC is stretching it a bit -- that's pretty clearly a snowflake). It makes more sense though because we have stars in our flag... I guess you could argue that the flowers are in a circle... I dont know. Somehow the flowers just don't seem very athletic. And Chicago did start with the forbidden torch (which I actually preferred). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Chicago did start with the forbidden torch (which I actually preferred). I loved Chicago's original logo, and even their tagline "Stir the Soul". The official logo was just OK, and I didn't like their tagline "Let Friendship Shine". SLC was certainly meant to be a snowflake, but it is "star like". I am not a huge fan of Tokyo's 2020 bid logo, but there is worse out there. It will be interesting to see how they do their branding with it.

Athensfan Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree, Soaring. The snowflake gets a "pass" as a star. Liked it as a logo. Totally with you about the original logo and tagline. Best Olympic design in a while. "Let friendship shine" was dull. Too bad about "stirring your insides".....

baron-pierreIV Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Snow Flake That was NEVER meant to be a star. It's supposed to be a desert snowflake (or I like to think as a Christmas ornament) in 3-D but is difficult to represent as such in a 2-D medium; and done in, I believe, Ute motif. And the 3 colors and the fins represent the 3 "C"s of the Salt lake 2002 credo: Contrast, Culture and Courage!! (I never saw it referred to as a "star.")

DannyelBrazil Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well done logo in terms of looking, poor in terms of meanings related to what the logo should represent... Anyway I like more the 2016 one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingbrogues Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I like it, all this talk of it being non-Japanese is off the mark, It's a very classic Japanese 'ensou' design, set around a circle, as Japanese symbols often are, and have a very long history of being so. The stylised sakura print is also hundreds of years old yet still looks rather modern. Gambare Nihon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
