Actually, good question. i just googled, and Wikipedia has “Share the Spirit - Dare to Dream” as the motto. to my recollection, however, Share the Spirit was actually the bid motto. Whereas Dare to Dream was the number Livvy and Farnsey sang at the OC. The OlympicDesign.com has the motto as “Games of the New Millenium”, which is what tallies with my memory. It’s certainly what the venue branding went with. Meanwhle, waiting for London 2012 @Scotguy II 1 1 Quote

I'm too young to remember but recall seeing the word 'Millenium' in the mix. Quote

As per this from the Sydney 2000 Look Book Whereas Share the Spirit was more associated with the bid, as per this from my collection of bid memorabilia Quote

We've come a long way. The Sydney Olympics entering its retro era makes me feel old. Quote

Australian Kiwi Posted September 19, 2023 Report Posted September 19, 2023 You're very clever, these are all fantastic. Given "the end is 'nigh" - perhaps a tribute series to the Commonwealth Games could be next? 1 Quote
Sir Rols Posted September 19, 2023 Report Posted September 19, 2023 Actually, I think the Tokyo one is very clever. I was wondering what you’d did for that 1 Quote
