Daze Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well I like the graphics on TV. The colour is a bit like Atlanta with its dark green and blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 The only thing that doesn´t fit is the yellow ZIM and GER. Would look better in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oooswald Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 "We had a problem with the supplier. They're late. Some of the Look fo the Games will be installed later. We have a task force. We're working 24 hours. Some things will be installed later," said the operationals director of the Organizing Committee of Rio-2016. The material came late to the country, imported from Eastern Europe for economy, and therefore being last minute placed on the venues. The Committee also believes that everything will be ready.

Story checks out - in Brasilia it looks like there is still 2014 World Cup signage on the upper deck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of how, until the IAAF championships the Bird's Nest had all its 2008 livery still on the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryOaks Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 So, to sum up, they were late for the World Cup and, two years later, they are also late for the Olympics. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the World Cup band on the upper deck. It is the band used by the local government to dress the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap. You know the organization of this game really blows if they can't even get simple stuff like the Look done. But i'm sure they're going to try to defend this somehow. At least the Volleyball arena looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phandrosis Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Watching the gymnastics training and Nigeria vs Japan game, a lot of the signage is just "Rio 2016" in really small text over and over again, but no look of the games...

paul Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 thin poorly constructed rings There are several sets of low quality thin Olympic Rings in the park and a few places. They look thin, insubstantial, and poorly made. Obviously just a cost saving measure but this should not be allowed. They also used some low quality off-the-shelf galvanized silver posts to mount them, of course this all seems so petty but for the Olympic Games one expects top quality, this is a new standard I think or didn't notice it in past games. Perhaps as part of Agenda 2020 there is a loosening of oversight on detail like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) The Rio 2016 wordmark/font is incredible, fantastic looking wherever it appears. Love it with the look infill. Everything else so far....meh. The pictograms with the infill looks cool too. I guess the look-blob is so generic looking on panels, banner etc.....it works better as a secondary layer inside other shapes. ...it's interesting we have not seen the 2016 moto anywhere, i don't even remember it.
