Athensfan 1081 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Aesthetically pleasing. Well-suited to Rio. Will make for very pleasant environments. Not ground-breaking. Definitely superior to London and Beijing, but not Athens, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hey, I see Rio paid insidetherings big bucks to deck itself up for the two-year countdown and look: http://www.insidethegames.biz/ Why didn't we get any ads off them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woohooitsme83 297 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would guess (and the venue images seem to suggest it) that the neon vom is a montage of everything from which the design team will choose appropriate elements for each application. I wouldn't expect to see it plastered on things by itself. This one seems more accurate if you base it off of the renderings: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Mata 272 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Like everything Rio has unveiled so far, this is very slick indeed and easy on the eye. Seems to combine the colour and feel of Athens with the boldness, continuity and visual clarity of London along with the architectural cues from Torino. Not groundbreaking so far, but seems to have taken what works from previous looks and run with those ideas. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. That's precisely the proccess of artistic creation of 1920's Brazilian Modernism. It's called Anthropophagy: Brazilian Art couldn't deny the influence from European Art. The modernists, thus, devoured all the influences they could and Brazilified it all with curves, sounds and tropical references. Anthropophagy is also the ritual in which Native Brazilians devoured the best parts of invaders and foreigners to absorb their strengths. This is also the same proccess of other avant-gard initiatives of the 60's (Tropicalism) and 90's (Manguebeat). Modernist canvas Abaporu is created by the process applied to Rodin's The Thinker You can see how previous olympic references were put together in this look. I love how Rio 2016 integrates itself to the Brazilian visual arts. The games will look great and very Brazilian. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Athensfan 1081 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 It harmonizes very well with everything they've already got going on (logo, font, pictograms). I don't care for the lurid green field hockey venue though. Blechhh!!! Ewww!!! The lurid green volleyball is even worse! Pic just showed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NY20?? 98 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's very nice! It needs a little more texture maybe, but the colors are great and I have no doubt that it will look good on television. My favorite application is probably the cover of that book - fantastic! Also love how the visual references to landmarks become so noticeable when parts of the main graphic are cropped and enlarged. I imagine they will stand out in close-up shots very nicely. It harmonizes very well with everything they've already got going on (logo, font, pictograms).I don't care for the lurid green field hockey venue though. Blechhh!!!Ewww!!! The lurid green volleyball is even worse! Pic just showed up. They do look horrible but seem to me to just be bad color correction. Hopefully anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarJoLe 93 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Very similar to Vancouver's. It'll be interesting to see its actual implementation in the venues, because at the moment it overpowers the rings and wordmark to an extent that I'm surprised the IOC won't be having words. It's nice. It's very Brazilian. It's very sporting. That's everything I can muster at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowmadsam 0 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I am very much in love with this look, its quite different from London (no pointy bits) and focuses on curves! Very interested to see what the uniforms, tickets, merchandise and mascots will look like!! But one thing IS for sure...its shaping up well for Rio (at long last!)

It's nice. It's very Brazilian. It's very sporting. That's everything I can muster at the moment. I don't think it looks anything like Vancouver. Vancouver had an analogous color scheme. Rio doesn't. Vancouver was highly detailed. Rio isn't. I do see the Torino comparison, but Rio is much more fluid rather than architectural and angular. Also it doesn't feature the black that Torino incorporated. It's a bright, sunny look that suits Rio. There are some very appealing shots in this thread. The only ones that worry me are the venue dressings. That green is awful.

DannyelBrazil 703 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think those pictures are shown in RGB (to cause more saturation in TV and computers), when printed in CMYK, they won't get that "neon".

DarJoLe 93 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I don't think it looks anything like Vancouver. It's all waves and curves at the end of the day, with city specific icons placed within. It's fine, it's a very typical application of cropping a large graphic that previous hosts have done, but there's nothing new here and certainly isn't yet at the integrated level that London achieved across all applications. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2053 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Well, of course it isn't, we've only seen half a dozen renders! Nothing "real" yet (except the website) Though I can see the comparison with Vancouver now. I couldn't before (my memory of their graphic was a lot of white with pastel blue and whites) Edited August 7, 2014 by Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illustrado 75 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 i don't know who they'll incorporate the logo as i have the interchangeability of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1700 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Eh. It's OK. All those swirly, swarly shapes and sort of muted, blended colors. You've seen it before. Nothing too ugly; nothing too spectacular. It's all cut from the same bolt of cloth that began with Torino... Edited August 7, 2014 by baron-pierreIV Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did not like the 'look' of London 2012. I prefer Vancouver and Rio, from the colors to the logo. But comparing with other host cities, Athens 2004 for me is the best of the best.

NY20?? 98 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Rio is borrowing as much from Vancouver (curvilinear shapes and lines with specific visual references to local imagery and landmarks) as it is from Torino (a very similar color palette and the idea of cropping out a large, central graphic in application). What's more, Rio is actually addressing the major 'criticisms' of Vancouver (limited color pallet) and Torino (the piazza graphic was totally lost when cropped out in applications). I can see them applying London's 'one- color-combination-per-venue' approach as well. It's great and should be expected that Rio's look is an evolution of established ideas, if you ask me. While host changes, the duties of a Look program don't. It's hard to imagine anything really straying from what's been done for the last 20+ years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
