tikus_kecil Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 After make a quick visit to the website, so far, the website is the best among others... Tokyo... I don't know why, but they just put the japanese version there, there is no english version, how could that attract international audience ? Baku... simple... for me it's to simple... maybe their website would be a good ones for 2008 race... and Madrid, best so far : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athan Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 The website is far better than Tokyo or Baku. And it seems @Madrid202O was not the official twitter account. According to the website, it is @Madrid2020ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afiqnadzir Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 afiqnadzir, you certainly made the font better, and it goes with the logo. If they gave you the original winner's logo, how would you change it afiqnadzir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galandar Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Although the logo sucks the website on the contrary is very informative and the best so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissO Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Although the logo sucks the website on the contrary is very informative and the best so far The french & english versions of the website are full of mistakes... they could fire their translators!!!!

Athan Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I love it too. That's what the professional design agency should have done, improving the original design, not radically changing it. Can't we show it to the bid team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 BTW, the official twitter accounts of the bid are (and this time it is for sure, it's what they have on the website) @Madrid2020ES in Spanish and @Madrid2020EN in English. Forget about @Madrid202O, that's not official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikus_kecil Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Athan your profile pict, the winner contest, i think it's a great logo, why they don't pick this as their official logo ? It's could be represent the smiles of Madriditas and Spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezzi Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is the best that they got of the design competition? Even the "foot" logo is better than that. Paul could have done better. If not elected, Madrid will at least get the title of ugliest logo between the candidates in three consecutive elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Athan your profile pict, the winner contest, i think it's a great logo, why they don't pick this as their official logo ? It's could be represent the smiles of Madriditas and Spanish It was just a contest run to encourage the city officials to bid again for 2020 after the defeat against Rio... although I guess the Official Architect College of Madrid would have been happy if the bid had adopted their logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Let me show you one of the finalists, the logo designed by Montse Carné: It depicts the fruit of the strawberry tree (I don't know if that's the correct name in English... it's the tree that appears on the coat of arms of Madrid, called "madroño" in Spanish). According to the author, the tree is the basis over which Madrid was founded, and now it's also the basis over which the Madrid Olympics will be built. The thorns of the fruit symbolize the competitive spirit of the athletes, but that's just the external layer. On the inside, it's sweet, symbol of the unity and the ties of friendship between them.

munichfan Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Embarrasing if the logo says "madríd 20020" and not "madrid 2020". Much more embarrasing if it's a plagiarism of a mascot of a company that sells homosexual dolls Well, at least, everybody talks about Madrid's bid those days...

Athan Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 By the way, how you found this one athan ? Is it posted somewhere in spanish website ? I'll try to google.... I was reading a website from a design college criticizing the changes made on the original logo and it seems one of those who had commented the story was this girl, Montse Carné. She said she wouldn't have liked her logo to be changed that way and she posted the image above for the rest of the people too see it. I found the website by chance but I can't remember the address and I can't find it in my browsing history either Embarrasing if the logo says "madríd 20020" and not "madrid 2020". Much more embarrasing if it's a plagiarism of a mascot of a company that sells homosexual dolls Well, at least, everybody talks about Madrid's bid those days... Same as for 2016, when there were lots of companies also using a hand saying Madrid had plagarized their logos... BTW, how can a doll be homosexual?

Munich 2018 had also some problems with plagiarism (I think it was a law firm from Berlin...). Macaisa, la empresa que fabrica muñecos gays Hmmm, by only tiping this on Google translate it says "the company that makes dolls gay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galandar Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The website is far better than Tokyo or Baku. Baku 2020 website will be updated in some days. The website's structure will be changed and the content will be upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
