Hi Guys

One of my side hobbies/things I enjoy is digital design and designing posters for events/movies etc...

You can check out my work on my social media pages: Instagram: @colmilsky and Facebook @colinmdesign

As part of this I have been designing an Olympic Ceremony Collection. As I create these works I will post them here on this thread. Please see the first 2 of my designs below:

Looks great - but wasn't the motto just 'Share the Spirit'?

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.

'Games of the New Millenium' were on the stadium livery I think? I'm too young to remember but recall seeing the word 'Millenium' in the mix.

Yep, it was. 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

My goodness that rendering is very funny. We've come a long way. 

The Sydney Olympics entering its retro era makes me feel old.
