Kenadian Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Canada's program to be number 1 at the 2010 Olympics has a new head (Roger Jackson) and a new logo. News Release with new Logo I can't post the logo because of VANOC's trade-mark laws, but it is basically three maple leaves in gold, silver & bronze with the old 2010 bid logo font.

IceNarcissus Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Ooh. I love it. Since this is strictly dealing with Canada/Canadians as a whole, the maple leaves are very appropriate and obvious. The shading has been done very well too. I've seen some gold/silver/bronze logos that either wash the gold or silver out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I like the logo. And, speaking of Dr. Jackson, he is really busy lately. However, he has great credentials behind his name, when it comes to the Olympic Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't know if this is either a blessing or a curse. To me, it seems to be a combination of both possibilities. Dr. Roger Jackson, the man presently running the "Own The Podium" program, has been reported to say that "possible Olympic medalists and/or their sports in 2010" will get "more funding." Tell me, doesn't that remind you a little about how Canadian athletes that tried to qualify for Athens 2004 went through and how they didn't like that at all? Look what happened to that scheme, with the resulting Athens 2004 medals tally. Also, are not some Canadian winter athletes already under pressure RIGHT NOW to perform at Vancouver 2010? I respect this guy, but that is a minefield he must tread carefully. I hope that Canada's record on home-soil Olympic Games is not still the main reason for this turn of events.
