Galandar Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Baku 2020 unveiled its logo and website :cheers2: Slogan: Together We Can The Baku 2020 Bid logo is inspired by the world-famous Azerbaijani carpets. In particular, the Bid logo’s design is inspired by how, in these spectacular and valuable works of art, each brightly coloured individual thread is woven together with others to create something amazing, delightful, surprising and beautiful. The logo is not only a colourful representation of a carpet, the weave itself also subtly spells out Baku’s ‘dream date’ of 2020. Finally, the Baku 2020 logo is a visual articulation of the central proposition of our Bid: bringing things together to create something much greater and more marvellous than simply the sum of their individual parts. The Baku 2020 Bid is not just concerned about what the Olympic Movement can do for Baku and Azerbaijan; it also cares deeply about what Baku and Azerbaijan can in turn do for the Olympic Movement. We believe there is a close synergy between us: that Baku can offer enormous benefits back to the Olympic Movement if it is granted the honour of hosting the Games in 2020. This concept of ‘coming together’ is at the very heart of Azeri history and culture. The logo is therefore full of local meaning and provenance. It is not mere decoration, it is a graphical articulation of the Bid’s slogan – “Together we can”. Each individual colourful thread contributes to making the whole weave stronger and more beautiful. Likewise, we believe that, with the Olympic Movement, together we can develop, inspire and empower millions of young sportsmen and women; together we can accelerate the development of team sports in Azerbaijan, as well as introduce new sports into the country, so benefitting young and old, men and women; together we can spread the values of Olympism to a region of the world that will benefit enormously from these values, putting sport and its importance at the forefront of our society; together we can nourish new dreams, new friendships and new understandings between competitors, spectators and people that will extend far beyond Azerbaijan and the Olympic Games themselves; together we can host a fabulous Olympic and Paralympic Games.

deawebo Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 That idea of puting those 20's together its awesome! Doha will probably be on December 23rd. Its not my favorite logo ever... (such as Paris, NYC 2012 or Rio's bid one) but i like it better than the last campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I like it - but I agree the 2020 is very hard to see! I suppose the colours blue, red and green are taken from the flag of Azerbaijan - I wonder from where the yellow comes from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I like this logo, better than the 2016 one and the Tokyo 2020 logo. Although I agree it's kinda hard to read 2020 on it. Hope Baku makes the shortlist, they deserve to be there more than Doha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 The shape, form and concept are really great - and I saw 2020 in it staight away so don't agree it's hard to decipher. But the choice of colours means it looks kind of like a logo for Microsoft Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 To repeat what I said in another thread...I like it, but doesn't it violate the IOC rules about using the year as a bid logo? I thought Prague went through something like that when they had that twig that spelled out 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 To repeat what I said in another thread...I like it, but doesn't it violate the IOC rules about using the year as a bid logo? I thought Prague went through something like that when they had that twig that spelled out 2016. But then Baku has "2020" again beside its city name. I still think it's a little too complicated and it actually reminds of Salt Lake's bid logo: oooh, can't find it right now. It looks like a few colored paper clips entangled with each other by someone who has way too much time on his/her hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Not bad, but it seems too "business like" to me. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something similar in my Microsoft Word clipart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I usually like the logos from the former Soviet republics - Baku 2016, Borjomi, Almaty were all amongst my faves of the past few years. This one? Meh. I like the ones in the GB logo comp better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzi Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Good logo, but i don't think Baku will become a candidate city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikus_kecil Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, together we can (bersama kita bisa) is one of the slogan for my country presidential election campaign, but it's not for 2009 campaign, it's for 2004 campaign, and you know what, came as the underdog, he actually won the election, and became our president for 2004 - 2009, and after 2009, he won the election again and now he's the president of my country, so will it Baku as the underdog, use the same tagline, become the winner too ?
