intoronto Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 We'll all vote for the shortlist on January 5. Where's your bloody entry? Study and sleeplessness is NO EXCUSE! -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Rols and guys, I withdraw my entry to present something more Olympic Logo and less bid logo! In next week news on it! Are you sure? I thought it was VERY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Are you sure? I thought it was VERY good. Thank you, but yes, I withdraw this very design. Let's say, I will put some elements like the Olympic rings but I will keep the original concept. Just to be in the same terms of the other entries =] News on it soon! Thanks for the comprehension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi mates, sorry - I have missed this interesting thread so far, due last week I had a pneumonia, with which I had to deal (I am still a little weak, but I hope that it is improving every day now) - I have to browse the thread and take a look for the already placed proposals...

Soaring Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Here is my submission - The design represents the statue of liberty, and the seven spikes also symbolize people coming together from all over the world. The torch primarily represents lighting the way to freedom, and the burning ambition of the human heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 /\/\ Soaring, u can't use a torch. Remember Chicago? I mean...we are sort of running it along the IOC rules so there is a simulation of reality here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I thought there was a rule that the IOC forbid the use of torches in bid logos (Chicago2016).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes, but it represents the statue of liberty's torch. The IOC allowed it for their bid logo. I wouldn't use it if it were another city. If you guys are absolutely against it, and think it would harm me getting votes, than I will rethink it. Rols, please let me know your thoughts.

Athensfan Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's hard to tell without having the Statue of Liberty..... Could be any torch and with Olympic rings directly beneath it.... Hmmmm...., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's hard to tell without having the Statue of Liberty..... Could be any torch and with Olympic rings directly beneath it.... Hmmmm...., The statue of liberty's crown is featured, and I designed it to be a cleaned up version from this angle... I will respect any decision made, and will make the change if it determined that most people here would have an issue with it. ...and let's not forget Atlanta 1996.

Gangwon Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I say keep it. From the logo it looks like Lady Liberty is holding up the torch. The "NYC" is her face and the torch is an extention of her arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 In my opinion Soaring's entry is just OK. He wanted to cast the Statue of Liberty (a statue of a woman carrying a torch). So, this is pretty OK to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athensfan Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I get it now. I didn't know that was supposed to be the crown. Thanks. The torch rule only applies to BID logos. Not Games logos. Hence Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Torch or flame is okay. These are meant to be host logos. In my understanding, the IOC only forbids the flame or torches from bid logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Atlanta's happened before the IOC appropriated the image. Besides, Atlanta's was a cauldron/pyre as in an ancient Greek temple...NOT a hand-held torch. Your "flame" is nothing like Lady Liberty's flame. Just got a call from Jacques baby. "No go" he says.

I will not respond further on this issue to a person who hand sketches his logos (the IOC doesn't accept hand sketched logos), and has no role in organizing this comp. I don't think it is fair to me or anyone else to be publicly criticizing their logo before voting. Rols and overall sentiment seems to be in favor of allowing me to keep the logo as is. If you have any further complaints or issues with my logo, please direct them in a PM to Rols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I will not respond further on this issue to a person who hand sketches his logos (the IOC doesn't accept hand sketched logos), Well, how did past hosts submit their logos, pre-computer-age? Did they have 'em done by ETs? Funny, I don't remember Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Salvador Dali or Pablo Picasso using a computer either...

Baron - GET A LIFE my friend. I am sorry no one really participated in your double logo contest for Roma and Reno. Stop eating so many sour grapes.

baron-pierreIV Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am sorry no one really participated in your double logo contest for Roma and Reno. Uhmmm...there were a few and I didn't really pursue it farther. I could've if I wanted to but...I do HAVE OTHER things too. So I don't know what it is about "sour grapes"???

Btw, Soaring, I was just asking a question about the rules. I really did not mean to put you down at all. I don't share Baron's attitude. I'm sorry if I seemed critical. It wasn't my intent.
