ghost1 0 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 It isn't an Olympiv bid logo, but it is still THE BEST!!! Link to post Share on other sites
menudoshark 1 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i just post this and for me the best bid logo is Buenos Aires 2004, its beautiful and simple. Always it seems like the bidding city has some weird desings and they forget what they have around em like a flower or animals, in this case i guess it is smething very representative of Buenos Aires a seagull.... for me this is the most beautiful logo since now... :grinning: Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever, I do like it a lot!! Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1701 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 For me, one of my top 5 logos -- I don't know what the other 4 are, would be the one used by Buffalo, NY in its 1993 World University Games (summer) edition. I can't find it on the net. Maybe someone can?? Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Is this the one you're talking about? Hmmm, simple, yet striking. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenadian 300 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 If anyone ever wants a very comprehensive list of logos, mascots and other marketing devices from past Games - be the Olympic, World Championships, the World Cup or other Intenational sporting events...check out Aleksandr Vernik's excellent resource site: aldaver.com Link to post Share on other sites

baron-pierreIV 1701 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Is this the one you're talking about? Hmmm, simple, yet striking. That's the one, Rol. Thanks. Yeah, and the way to look at that logo is that they are 5 chevrons (Indian arrowheads) coming together for a convergence...As they say, simple is best.

Los Angeles Guy 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Just Curious, it never appeared to me except now when reading this thread that all bid logos include either all of the colors of the Olympic Rings, or the rings in their logo. Is this mandatory procedure by the IOC for Bid Cities. Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1701 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 The rings are. Heck, that's the whole idea. WHy do you think John Hancock or MacDonald's would pay $50,000,000 or whatever? It's one of the world's most recognizable symbols and therefore one of the most marketable brands. As for the colors, they are not mandatory, but it would make sense to use them, wouldn't it? It would all tie in as one; right? Link to post Share on other sites

(I didn't know Vernik's website was still around. I thought it disappeared for awhile.) It is rather surprising that it is the only Summer Universiade ever hosted in the USA. Of course, when such a same-age group for a Universiade competes in the Olympic Games and kicks butt (plus winning medals there en masse), the Universiade is pretty much a side-show.

Los Angeles Guy 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 yah, I guess so. Thanks for the info Baron. Link to post Share on other sites
Kenadian 300 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 A bid city does not get rights to the Olympic rings until it becomes a Candidate City - that is after the shortlist. They can then market themselves with the Olympic rings. I would guess that a lot of bid cities use the Olympic colours in their bid logos to brand themselves as "Olympic Cities". Well, strangely enough, for the Summer Games it worked. Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney and Beijing all used all 5 Olympic colours in their bid logo. Athens didn't when they won 2004. Failed bids such as Melbourne 96, Manchester 96, and Cape Town 04 are the only others that I can think of that used all 5 colours and failed. Will Paris and London keep this trend going? Or will NYC pull an Athens? Or will Moscow and Madrid bring us back to the mid 70's when Olympic logos were simple and red? Oh, the mystery of it all! Link to post Share on other sites
