JMarkSnow2012 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Perhaps this is just an oversight but I noticed the article mentioned the runners passing the Staples Center and how it would be hosting basketball and a couple Paralympic sports. Interesting that gymnastics wasn't mentioned as well. Maybe its an oversight. Perhaps a new plan will reveal gymnastics has been relocated? City of Champions stadium perhaps? Staples Center was never intended as the venue for all gymnastics (Rhythmic Gymnastics should be going to the LACC) but I wouldn't be surprised if this was just an oversight.

phandrosis Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Here's a bit of branding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphamale86 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I like it. It makes sense. City of Angeles, with a modern and Angelino nod to Nike the goddess of victory which is on every olympic medal. I can see how some may not get it immediately but it's a great representation of the city? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk92boy Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 It wasn't exactly what I had thought it'd become, but I suppose we can go with it. Kind of ironic, that they're revealing this, right by LA Live, which has a similar brand mark... Can't wait for the live stream to be saved, there are pretty strong directive words from the CMO and Mayor Garcetti in regards to the values and inspiration about the games, and read your thoughts. There's emphasis in making and catering these games about the athletes. "LA is the right bid, right city, at the right time." – Janet Evans At this moment: Thiago Pereira, Brazilian Olympic Team Member to the podium to speak of reasons "many athletes come to chose to train in LA", and how its become a home.

woohooitsme83 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 xD I'd imagine it'd be an athlete seeing how they're boasting it as the "athlete's games". I really just don't like how the wings are stylized. Like, the athlete is all detailed with curves and flow, but the wings are just... a damn blob :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphamale86 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My Original thought was that it looked like the Flying Virgin Logo on the Virgin aircrafts. I still like it but I have to be honest that was my first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandrosis Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Seems that from the video that's on facebook and twitter but not youtube yet that they'll be going a sort of geometric route with the branding. just kidding found the video.

jk92boy Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The Press Event and reveal is now available to view here or on the LA 2024 Facebook page. Sorry if my tone is odd, or a bit too enthusiastic I began going on to these forums 10 years ago, (losing out on the 2020 virtual bid competition), and always hoped LA would get a chance again, so to see LA is actually bidding and putting such effort is a bit surreal. I think the logo is a grower, luckily just a bid one instead? It's interesting way, how they incorporated the sun into the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
