Faster Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 R U serious ? Why Bogoc announces lawsuit over Sumi ? any info ? It was a joke. I was right though, they suck, I think this makes it 2 or 3 for 13 depending on your point-of-view since Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno Dragon Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 They kinda feel Asian to me. Of Course, they are representing Vancouver afterall, how can they not have an asian feel to them?........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Official 2010 site is now up and running with animated mascots! http://www.winter2010.com/Default.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka_Ray Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hmm... although I think they are not the best logo for WOG, but they also not the worst for me, they are still better then Lake Placid mascot, so for me they are quite good enough, although I'm still feel very awkward knwoing they are olympic mascot, for me they are look like an ordinary cartoon from cartoon network, their style is like powerpuff girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Is Miga a boy or a girl? A x-dresser? Or a tranny? What's with the Charlie Chaplin 'tramp' look? Well, I can see what the popular costumes for Halloween '08 in Vancouver will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Meh, exactly what I expected. Blah and uninspiring - but the kids will love them - and that is what matters. I see huge toy sales this Christmas if VANOC get these critters into the shops in a tidy fashion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athan Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My favourite one is Sumi, although it's the Paralympic Mascot. Anyway, it looks like Beijing's Nini... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka_Ray Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I saw mukmuk in vancouver website, and for me mukmuk is the cutest , why mukmuk not become their official mascot too ? any info ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athan Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I saw mukmuk in vancouver website, and for me mukmuk is the cutest , why mukmuk not become their official mascot too ? any info ? Yes! Mukmuk is the best! Probably less Asian than the other three. And what about Quatchi? Is it Olympic, Paralympic, or both? I'm thinking about Sumi and... will BOCOG see it looks exactly like Nini? That can bring problems to Vancouver. They're not my favourite mascots, but I don't think they're horrible. LONDON, it's your turn! Show us one* of the best mascots ever! *It's better one good mascot than a hundred thousand terrible mascots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 All these hydrocephalic kids... Too much video games!! ANd in case no one noticed, 'Miga is a clever ploy for the equally (non-existent) Latino market of Canada -- 'Miga being short for Amiga!! Or maybe it's aimed for the Latino market of the US?

mr.x Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 too bad Mumuk isn't an official mascot....is he suppose to be an official fan or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav3n Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 They have some kind of quiz on the website: ''Which mascot are you like?''. I got Sumi . Well, it's my favourite mascot (altought similar to Nini from Beijing 2008). Mumuk is not bad tought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I already miss the whole Euro gang of '04 and '06 -- Phoebus, Athina, Neve and Glitz!! At least they had swollen feet.

Sir Rols Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 OMG! They look like South Park Mascots _ stand ins for Kyle, Cartman and Kenny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominger Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well, I really like them: They are cute and they will sell well - they do fit perfect into the Vancouver 2010 branding and they are good if we see them animated. That was the problem with Neve and Glitz and also with Phevos and Athena - they looked kind of ugly when they were drawn. But Miga and Quatschi will make it I think. Hope we will see more of MukMuk - he is really the best! I also do like that they do have this kind of enviromental touch and so they do have a message :-) Yes! I am totally satisfied - cant wait to buy all the mascot stuff now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I, for the most part, like them. Especially Sumi. Though, I think Quatchi looks rather stupid with the earf muffs. But, I'm sure the kids, who really are the ones who matter when it comes to mascots (NOT Olympic gurus on internet forums), will love them.
