Ikarus360 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Those ones you posted are from this website: https://www.hellopyeongchang.com/en/index Apparently its a branding for "Hello Pyeongchang", a series of test events which will be held through the year to prepare the city for the Winter games. More detailed info about the look is here: https://www.hellopyeongchang.com/en/hellopc/look/staticcontents?menuId=311 My guess is this is a separate brand for the test events. We're not sure yet if this will be the one for the actual games, though it could give us more insight of what they plan to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this confirms my assumption about the Hangul theme for the whole brand. It's very simplistic, but at the same pleasant. Sochi brand was nice but I thought it felt a bit overdone/saturated. I just hope they apply the brand properly (Rio was an example of having a good brand then ruining its perception by applying it poorly at some venues) For a change, i'm also kind of glad they are not using a curve theme once again, since it felt repetitive after a while.

Ikarus360 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 At last, the official look is announced (even though we already saw most of it on the previous months). Had a feel they would finally release it once the One Year to go countdown rolled out (Vancouver did the same back in 2009 if I remember right). They should be unveiling the torch and route as well later during the day. Btw they also changed the Website design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2017/09/21/0200000000AEN20170921004100315.html Quote Inspired by Korean alphabet, medals for PyeongChang Winter Olympics unveiled SEOUL, Sept. 21 (Yonhap) -- Medals to be awarded at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics were unveiled Thursday, with the Korean alphabet hangeul as their motif. Presented at a ceremony simultaneously held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City with President Moon Jae-in in attendance, gold, silver and bronze medals, designed by local industrial designer Lee Suk-woo, feature hangeul consonants on their bodies. Those consonants are "ㅍ, ㅊ, ㄷ, ㅇ, ㄱ, ㄹ, ㅁ," representing the Korean words for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. They were written and stretched in 3-D and formed together in a cylinder shape. PyeongChang's organizing committee said the medals were also inspired by the texture of tree trunks, as trees represent the work put into developing Korean culture and the Olympic Games. "Hangeul is the foundation and the soul of Korean culture," PyeongChang's organizing committee said. "Hangeul is considered the seed that eventually blossoms and bears fruit, which symbolize Korean culture. The trunk is the process of that development." PyeongChang said the process also resembles efforts of athletes preparing for the quadrennial competition. Each medal is 92.5 millimeters wide, 109 mm long, and between 4.4 mm and 9.42 mm thick. PyeongChang also presented the medal lanyard, which has snowflake patterns embroidered on "Gapsa," a type of cloth used to make the traditional Korean costume hanbok. Light teal and light red were used in consistency with the look of the 2018 Winter Olympics. The words "PyeongChang 2018" and the five Olympic rings are embroidered on the Gapsa lanyard. The curved pattern of the medal case was inspired by the Korean traditional architecture, PyeongChang said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think it was the SLC medals that were rated the best by the Aussie winter athletes - they liked how solid and heavy they were. The PC ones look similar size wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PC ones look similar size wise. Looking at Wikipedia, it seems there is now a tradition of Winter medals being bigger than Summer- and 2018's will not be as big as Sochi's. SLC's somehow managed to be significantly smaller than the modern average at 85mm wide, yet still very heavy: well over half a kilogram.

Ikarus360 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I thought Torino were the heaviests. Seriously, those medals were a bit overkill size wise when you look back. I remember hearing some athletes back in 2006 complaining about its weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
