runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 2, 2013 So what does everyone predict? I'm hoping PC follows the path of Vancouver and Sochi and removes itself from the overdone snowflake concept - something I feel somewhat restrains the creativity of winter branding. Will we see a return of the Taegeuk swirl, that featured on the Seoul 1988 logo? Or will it be combined in some sort of cross symbolism with a snowflake, like Calgary did with the maple leaf/snowflake? It wouldn't surprise me if there was some kind of continuity, like there was between Tokyo and Sapporo - even though more recently Sochi doesn't echo Moscow in the slightest. Quite interesting - only the third ever Asian Winter logo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1682 Report post Posted May 2, 2013 Who really knows? It could be anything. I hope it's in the school of the Incheon 2014 logo which I really like: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nacholympic 82 Report post Posted May 2, 2013 I can not image how the official logo can be... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I'm watching ! So exciting, never really watched a logo unveiling live before. Although I was in London in 2007 when the logo was unveiled, and when half the country apparently collapsed and had a seizure. Keep it classy, Korea.

SwissO 126 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 Bug.... niceto get the Korean translation of the English speaches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 lol - we had English dubbing when they spoke Korean - and when someone speaks in English, its dubbed over in Korean, so you can't hear a word of what they're saying. Ridiculous error. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwissO 126 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 Is that the logo behind the Governor ???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 "it is very good looking, and very Korean too. It uses the Korean language. To the Korean people, it will be very familiar - to foreigners it will symbolise Winter and the Olympics' (not verbatim) Whats the bet its the Korean swirl (ala 1988 logo) in snowflake form?? Is that the logo behind the Governor ???? I think its part of it. It looked very distinct. If that is the style, we'll be looking at something minimal, and very unique. and in PASTEL colours? Haha i Think that IS the logo hanging about - it looks very stick figureish?? hilarious slip up, if thats what I think it is??? OMG they are making this so much more complicated that it needs to be. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! That gigantic unveiling ceremony coming after seeing the logo already draped in the hall in PyeongChang!! What a hilarious stuff up!

runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 Simple... basic ! It is basic, not sure if it will have the same interchangable value that London and Sochi has (in terms of background), but it is interesting and unique. Thats enough for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citius Altius Fortius 560 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Well, it is 'nice' - it looks like a roman number 2 and an asterick in the Olympic colours Edited May 3, 2013 by Citius Altius Fortius Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattygs 274 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 I will say though, it's great they didn't use a traditional Asian Games style logo. Font seems abit too basic for my liking, not much room for wordmark usage here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runningrings 677 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 Are they taking the piss? It's horrible. I think we should give it time. It is very basic, but there really hasn't been anything like it before. Maybe I'm alone but I instantly liked it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattygs 274 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 I can see how the logo has potential in being integrated in other aspects of Games design, however, the logo in itself - Im not sold. Would have been nice if the video was translated into English. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
