yoshi Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Tokyo, Japan - 23 July 2015 TOCOG: So Soyoshi, as our unofficial mascot, we'll show you our logo before anyone else! What do you think? Soyoshi: Meh. I come from Gamesbids.com, they had a Tokyo 2020 logo comp at Christmas - I'll show you a few of them, they're better than that. *shows some logos* TOCOG: No. We've paid lots of yen for this logo, we're not changing it. Bye Soyoshi! Disappointed, a bitter Soyoshi made his way home across Tokyo. On his way, he had an idea. If TOCOG wouldn't appreciate Gamesbids logos, someone else might - & at home on Yoshi Island, he realised he might be able to help save a struggling new sporting event in the process. 25 July The day after seeing the official logo unveiled, Soyoshi travels on the Tokyo metro to Narita airport & boards a flight. He's on his way to Europe... ----------------- Ladies & gentlemen, the European Games are in peril. It seems like nobody wants them in 2019, which would be a shame. So let's see if we can't inspire someone to bite the bullet & go for it. How? LOGO COMP!! Bit of a different format for this compared to normal comps, instead of giving you a set of cities to make logos for, I'm going to give you a clutch of countries - 12 of them. All are countries that are unlikely to fit a modern Summer Olympics but would be able to cope with a Euros - if only they wanted to. Here are the douze pays - the countries on the list: 01 Republic of Ireland 02 Portugal 03 Belgium 04 Denmark 05 Sweden 06 Switzerland 07 Czech Republic 08 Romania 09 Finland 10 Poland 11 Serbia 12 Austria So, this is a bit of a free for all. Each player can: Make a logo for any city in any of the countries in the list. Only enter one logo per person per country. Enter a logo for a city in as many or as few of the countries as they like. A couple of advisory notes: This is a comp for the 2019 games, so that's the year to pick. Do make your cities practical - although there's obvious comic potential in making a logo for Fucking, Austria, for example, all logos should be for cities of at least decent size. I trust your common sense on this. When you post an entry/entries, just put the country with it, ideally with the number of the entry for the country. So if the last Austrian entry had Austria 3 under it, just put Austria 4. Not mandatory, but it'll help me & Rols when we're getting ready for voting. As for deadlines & voting: There's a lot of cities in 12 countries, & a lot of great designers on this board. So I'm gonna give you all plenty of time. In keeping with the free spirit of the comp, we'll be seeing how we go on this, but the submission period will go for at least 2 weeks, & almost certainly no longer than a month. When we do get to voting, all entrants in each country will battle it out with the other entrants in that country, in polls. More on that, & what'll happen after they're done, when we get closer to it. Finally, thanks once again to Rols, who's agreed to help me out when I need it, & most importantly, good luck & happy logo-ing to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR2028 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Here's my submission for Vienna Austria. It is classically inspired to pay homage to the history of Austria and Vienna, but has modernism to show that the nation and city look to the future and intertwine it with the past. Red is taken from the national flag of Austria and the silver is taken from the European Games medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEurasia Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I thought it said 'Vienna 2010' took some time for me to figure out it was 2019! (My Math is Horrible, never showed my Parent's my School Reports over it!) Anyways, I'll have a Dublin Logo done and up by tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yay, submissions! I should say, as I'm sure most are already aware, the European Games do not have a standard symbol, like the Olympic Rings, OCA sun, or CWG whatever-the-crap-that-thing-is. So the whole logo is totally free for design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzl Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Switzerland 1: logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr My logo shows the Limmat, the river running through Zürich and one of the bridges crossing the river. It also shows the mountains surrounding Zürich. The iconic Swiss Flag forms part of the word mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEurasia Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ireland 1 - http://postimg.org/image/fkro8p1dn/ Used the Shamrock as my Base with all the Colours of the Irish Flag, I used the Yellow to represent winning a Gold Medal and the Gold from a Leprechaun. Had to put the Logo on a Black Background due to the White.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.bernham Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Krakow's logo is inspired by the passion of the games and the polish people (flame) and the pride of Poland through the Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Always good to see new entries. Remember, if you've already designed one logo & aren't all logoed out, there's 11 other countries there to tackle, including a few who are still waiting to get in on the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzl Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Finland 1: Logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr My design is a simplistic representation of the Helsinki Cathedral which also incorporates the iconic Finnish flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzl Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ireland 2: Logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr My design is based off of a "D" for Dublin. Inside the intersecting lines create a simplistic three-leaved clover (shamrock), an icon of Ireland. The colour green is also symbolic of Ireland.

nzl Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Portugal 2: Logo by NZLGamesBids, on Flickr Porto is the 2nd largest city in Portugal. The logo features a simplistic representation of the Dom Luís I Bridge that crosses the Douro River of the city. According to Wikipedia, Porto is often referred to as Cidade das Pontes (City of the Bridges) and this is represented in the logo. The Portuguese colours of Red and Green are also represented by the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woohooitsme83 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Gothenberg, Sweden. Blues are to the left to show Gothenberg's essential historical role as a port town that connected the Atlantic Ocean to the nation. The city is now the second largest in the nation. The colors inside the G (for Gothenberg) are arranged in a swirl because swirls are kinda viking-ish, right? Colors represent diversity (and harmony and stuff) and the modern-ness of the logo is used to show that the city is a modern city. A crown tops it all off, because Sweden!

Griff Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Finland 2(Turku): http://postimg.org/image/n7zytqzqb (Just trying to submit my bad designing skills and see how it goes lol) Blue curve represents Aura River in Turku. Brown thing on the left is symbolic representation of Turku Castle. Purple and yellow means day and night - representation of Games' period. Green square is the field/stadium where the action happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Not sure why that isn't displaying - I'll try this: Well that didn't work. Griff, have you tried uploading it to imageshack & then putting it on the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
