Filipe_Golias Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well more polemic...The logo LIGHT has been withdrawn accused of plagiarism... This logo had been presented to another logo contest before... besides the company of the logomaker was the one who elected the TOP 10 logos... goodbye to one of the best logos... Jesus I'm glad in the end my vote wasn't "wasted" on it. Controversy right on the logo selection? A great omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 After the unveiling of the logo, I haven't heard anything about the approval of the IOC. Has anybody heard anything about it? And, another question, is there on the Internet the version of the logo with 'Applicant City' written? By the moment, the best I could find is this: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka_Ray Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 yeah, is there any news about Madrid logo ? Or maybe IOC reject this logo ? I just added the applicant city word by myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I don't think the IOC will reject this logo, it doesn't break any rule but who knows!? Do they always take so much time to approve a logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 BTW I like the idea of the "M" which becomes a hand (symbol of peace and friendship). It would be interesting seeing it evolve in something more refined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 They said it will evolve, but it's happened almost one month and we don't know anything about the the logo or the approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I think we may see lots of painted hands, or a wall of hand prints for those who back the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Yes! There are news about "Corle": On Thursday, 30th October, the Spanish Olympic Committee approved the logo (it took them more than one month) and now it's turn to the IOC's approval. Once the IOC approves the logo, the official website will be launch and I think it will have "Applicant City". By the moment, I haven't heard anything about the improval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Just realized that Madrid may have 'borrowed' its hand-logo idea from the Deaflympics. Read all about its logo -- pretty clever I think -- in: http://www.deaflympics.com/about/index.asp?ID=250 Here's how the Deaflympics logo is explained: The logo, designed in 2003 by graphic design artist Ralph Fernandez, is a positive and powerful symbol of the international deaf sports community. It ties together strong elements: Sign language, deaf and international cultures, unity and continuity.The hand shapes, "ok", "good", and "great" that overlap each other in a circle, represent the original sign for "deaflympics". Together, the hand shapes represent the sign for "united". The center of the logo represents the iris of the eye, which defines deaf people as visual people; they must use their eyes to communicate. The logo incorporates the four colors of the national flags of the world. The red, blue, yellow and green represent the four regional confederations – the Asia Pacific Deaf Sports Confederation, the European Deaf Sports Organization, the Pan American Deaf Sports Organization and the Confederation of African Deaf Sports.

Madrid's logo sums up the motto " the games with the human touch". By that standard, Chicago's logo must be ripping off the L.A 1984 Star or any logo which has a star.

Athan Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Please, speak english ! We are here in an international forum.... He asks where Baron can see the similarities between Madrid's logo and the one of the Deaflympics, maybe in the white background. He also says that some people are so afraid of Madrid winning that they make up whatever it takes to attack its bid. What I think is that the logo is very simple, but I think the same of Chicago's and even Tokyo's. However, they're just bid logos that would be changed if any of these cities won the rights to host the Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 That stupid waving hand logo with the "I feel it in my bones" tagline banner ad on the front page just creeps me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakydoky Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 That stupid waving hand logo with the "I feel it in my bones" tagline banner ad on the front page just creeps me out! Theres an advert running on TV from Madrid2016 where Madrid natives and Spanish celebrities are all saying that catchphrase " I feel it in my bones". I always have a chuckle when the old guy in the film says it - I don't think he's talkin about the Olympics but rather just his arthritis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_O_S Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 It's incredible how already over 300000 people have the Madrid 2016 logo on their status in the spanish version of Facebook (called "tuenti").....if it were for popular support Madrid would've gotten the games ages ago....
