Sir Rols Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Just saw this. It's either past 7pm Rio time now, or pretty close. Anyone seen the logo? Brazilian Olympic CommitteeRio 2016 Logo Launch We inform that the logo of the Rio de Janeiro city bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games will be launched this Monday, Dec. 17, during the 2007 Brazil Olympic award ceremony, in Teatro Municipal, Rio de Janeiro.

ChicagoFan90 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Wow...that was a surprise!!! Didn't know Rio would launch today. I have to say, I like it!! It reflects the rainforest's of Brazil as well as the sun and sand of the beaches in Rio. These 2016 Bid logos really are great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympiaki-agones Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Definitely impressive! It shows the mountains; the beach; the sea; the whole city. One of the best candidate city logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe_Golias Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 A very balanced, symbolic logo with a pleasing chromatic pallette (like what Rio did for the PanAms). I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueview Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 ^^^^^ i totally agree. has all 2016 logos already been put forth? i like the subdued palette though, placing more emphasis on blues and greens rather than in oranges. the orange they used in the PanAms were just hideous. as usual, the logotype does deviate from the norm.

KRATK Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I love it! Certainly, my favourite... beautiful, balanced, great colors, symbolic and right typography... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's so strong yet so simple. Very good bid logo. The bidding brand will easily be recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Mata Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I liked the logo. It's very simple and clean, and holds a powerful message: Sugar Loaf Mountain, nature, sea and beaches, sun, carnaval (the yellow part resembles Apoteose Square, where the samba school parades usually end), all within the heart and passion of Brazil and cariocas. It's kinda tridimensional too. I wish we could see it in some kind of book, where it will be printed in two pages. And when you open this book you discover Rio 2016 simbol. Hope they use it wisely. Maybe Baku will show us some creativity in january. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen-Seth Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I generally like it. It almost like kind of 3D. My only complain is that it looks a little static, but the font great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduardo2016 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Very interesting the logo of Rio 2016. The law is that if you look at another perspective or angle One would perceive the beach, the mountains and a sun rising to the fund. And that specific landscape of Rio de Janeiro forming a heart. I liked much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rominger Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 ^^^^^i totally agree. has all 2016 logos already been put forth? i like the subdued palette though, placing more emphasis on blues and greens rather than in oranges. the orange they used in the PanAms were just hideous. as usual, the logotype does deviate from the norm. The orange is the official color of the Rio City Hall. See: http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/ As for the 2016 logo, much better than the Rio 2007. Apparently they learned something after so many bids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Not because I'm from Rio I like this logo too much. My opinion about Rio 2012 logo: It was hideous and looked like a kid's drawing in Paintbrush. Now the cariocas did a good job and made the only logo with city landscapes and warm colors to represent people from Rio de Janeiro. The 3D in the logo is simple and appropriate. You see the logo, you see Rio. The best one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOC Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Best by Far for 2016 Chicago have a rair hands and if anything of the voting of NOC members + USA dislike in the sporting community I say Rio is up there with a great shot and Chicago would be worried.

barrack Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is a very nice logo. It's clean, symbolic, and with a very nice font. However, it just doesn't say "Olympics" to me. I think that this is more fitting for a tourism campaign. Then again, I guess that's the bottom line of most olympics, right? (jk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 ^I totally agree. It's quiet a good logo, it just doesn’t feel "Olympic". It doesn’t look very formal, for lack of better wording. Perhaps if 2 or 3 more "hearts" were added to form like a flower petal than it might look more appropriate.

Kenadian Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 It is a nice logo. Captures the city in its shapes and colours. Up there with Chicago as my fave bid logo for 2016 (but I wish Chicago was able to keep its torch logo). Well done, Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
