runningrings Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I like the 2014 Olympic medals, although not crazy about them. Not a fan of the Winter Olympics medals that replace the actual metal with a hole with something else. I LOVE the 2014 Paralympic medals, much nicer than then Olympic counterparts. Very handsome, looks great with the cut out diamonds of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattygs Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah, I'll give approval to those. Not my favourite (Nagano still number 1 for me), and probably not in my top 3 even, but I don't think I can complain at that design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Winter medals I hated were Torino's. Ok so they wanted for some reason to have a doughnut shaped design, fine, but they just got lazy and looped the lanyard through it. :/ These medals look quite nice, modern, future looking and fits quite well with their theme of using diamond shapes.

gotosy Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 looks good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Not horrendous...but could've been better too. If u leave those medals hanging outside on a shelf, some spiders are going to make themselves mighty at home in those recesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroKinesis Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Best Winter Olympics medals in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I don't tend to go into raptures about medal designs, but these are nice. Actually, I'm really liking all aspects of the "look" we've seen. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of my all-time faves. Even the logo/wordmark, which I was a bit bemused by at fast, seems to fit in well with the quilt look - it probably needed to be plain and simple to stand out against the quilt.

I agree with all of this. Everything has come together quite nicely so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walei Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Love these medals! Probably my favorite so far. I am also loving Sochi's look, it's going to be exciting to see the venues all decked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
