baron-pierreIV Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) brutto!! (Fugly!) Even worse than Torino 2006! Edited March 30, 2021 by baron-pierreIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Not even a picture yet? Sigh...remember when a logo launch was a big deal? Olympic logo is still dull, but that Paralympic logo really transforms it - you can see it, it's not just grey - and the colours are subtly Italian, shades of red & green. Still nothing really Milanese, but then with being combined with a town almost being eaten by Slovenia it wouldn't be easy to cover both. And the font is still ugly as hell. But the Para one there is the best version yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the point when Minimalism is forced everywhere as much as possible, be it in sport logos or rebrands of companies which I can make in 2 minutes in Photoshop for free but they decide to pay millions for them.

BTHarner Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Could it be better? Certainly. Still better than London or Sochi. Based on the results, it looks as if I didn't need to stuff the ballot box to keep that other option from winning. Though more colorful, something just looked off about it, Then I actually read what it was supposed to be and I found out it was a video game joystick which would allow all of us to play and that just came off as tacky.

yoshi Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 So apparently the Paralympic logo is based off the northern lights over Cortina...not disputing that it looks better, as I said earlier, but do they really get that far south or is it artistic license?

TorchbearerSydney Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Definitely the best of two (the other looks like it was created on MSDOS in 1984 by a ten year old)....adding colour brings it to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Artistic license." Not even the French Alp cities have made that claim. Fake iItalian claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmaniS Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 So they are not going to colorize the Olympic one? One of the things that msde the London interesting was that you could adapt it into many things. Multiple colors and the British flag were the fun things.

Nacholympic Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I voted for the cube... The futura logo es too simple! it centrates only in the year "26" such as London logo, which was centered in the year "2012". I think this happens for cities which don't need any presentation at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacholympic Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Very disapointing, taking in consideration Italy has one of the best logos ever for a winter Games: Torino 2006. Definitely, number "6" is for Italian Winter Games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Milan-Cortina 2026 loses one major partner. Alitalia announces its imminent closure. 'A piece of flying Italy around the world': The rise and fall of Alitalia | CNN Travel Who will be its new airline partner? I guess, even the Pope will now have to stay home -- not unless the Vatican opens its own airline? Maybe a Vatican-San Marino airline (since partnerships are such in vogue) -- but using 3rd country airports? Italy's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Etihad invested and subsequently lost quite a bit of cash when they bought a controlling stake in Alitalia years ago. That cash probably staved off an earlier collapse. I thought Air Italy, a subsidiary of Qatar Airways might be the successor as Italy's national airline by Qatar cut bait when the pandemic hit. Not sure where things go from here regarding Italian aviation TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where things go from here regarding Italian aviation TBH Alitalia has been a hot financial mess for decades. The Italian government has already announced their replacement airline ITA (Italia Trasporto Aereo), directly operated by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. ITA has also begun applying for a few international routes that Alitalia used to fly, so I'd expect them to be a pretty equivalent successor + airline partner since the government has an interest in holding a successful Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
