Olympic Fan Darcy Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 See everyone even a 5 year old can submit an entry! I never gave my explanation. So the T represents a cherry blossom tree with a cherry blossom below it. The first O is meant to be the giant red sun on the Japanese flag. The K was meant to be like Mount Fuji or something but it came out a bit crap. The Y is Pikachu from Pokemon, i'm sure most people know that's Japanese. And the final O is nothing really, make up what you wish for that haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh dear! It does look the Opera House doesn't it? Honestly I never noticed it, is it still different enough for me to keep it or do you want me to change it? No skin off my nose. Melbourne's been trying to steal our thunder for ages anyway.

nzl Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Here is my Melbourne entry, Logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr Firstly, is the shape of an M, symbolising Melbourne obviously, with a cut out representing the top of Port Phillip where Melbourne is situated. Geometric shapes often feature in modern Melbourne architecture and design and this combined with the sandstone colours is a representation of iconic Melbourne attraction Federation Square on this logo. The aforementioned cut out also represents a mountain, bringing the logo back to the winter olympic games. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, NZL 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzl Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr My entry for Anchorage. It shows the mountains behind the city, with the the tile "Anchorage" represents the skyline. There is no special meaning behind the colour, just that it looks "wintery".

Popular Post nzl Posted December 12, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 It seems I have too much time on my hands... Look by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr This is "The Look" for my logo which I described as... It is based on the sun of the Japanese flag. This is then overlaid with the Japanese symbol Kangxi Radical 9 (人) which, if I have researched correctly, means person/people. It also is a representation of Tokyo Tower, an icon of Tokyo around the world. This presented alongside the rings symbolises people joining together for the games in this great country. The overall theme for the design is simplicity, something often seen in modern Japanese design. Hope this adds value to my logo. NZL Just a note, neither the templates nor the images are mine, just the logos pasted over them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotguy Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) The meaning behind my Anchorage logo: A for Anchorage, A for Alaska, A, for America. The dots represent snow and the Winter Games and the colours of red and blue against a white backdrop represent the colours of the USA flag.

Looks good, the only thing that I see wrong is the "red" dots look more orange to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrack Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I decided to give my Borjomi a little more thought. Trees are obviously a big deal there considering their past bid logo and their city flag. So I decided to go with that route. I present to you the Forest Snowflake of Borjomi. My main inspiration is this type of view from the forest floor. I also whipped up a version that's a slightly more literal interpretation of the city flag, but I thought it kind of busy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrack Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Alrighty: Last is my submission for Harbin 2022: The Lucky Tiger. My inspiration all around was the Beijing 2008 emblem. As "Dancing Beijing" took the form of a traditional seal, this emblem invokes the tradition of paper cutting. Chinese people believe that the red paper-cuts on the door can bring good luck and happiness to the whole family, so to will this emblem bring good luck and happiness to the Olympic family. The Beijing Olympic games started on the auspicious date of 8.8.2008. The Harbin 2022 games (I am now declaring), will begin on February 1, 2022, the start of the Chinese lunar year, the Year of the Tiger. Also, there's a tiger zoo in Harbin. TIGERS! Disclaimer: I just found some paper cut images via Google, found one I liked, and played around with it, and added mountains and rings. you are single handedly carrying this contest on your back until a twin shows up. He he. I have had a *lot* of down time recently. Which is about to end quite abruptly as I switch gears. This logo comp has been a welcome distraction and a fun hobby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
