Citizen-Seth Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I actually like it, especially the font. I also like the the logo video on the website. It's all a nice little surprise from Baku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe_Golias Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Graphic and aesthetically, it's one of the best logos, imo. But... where does it say "I'm a Summer Olympics bid logo!"? With the IOC ban on Olympic-related imagery in bid logos, applicants have to push their creativity a little further in order to ensure a minimal sport-related feeling in their logos.

barrack Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 But... where does it say "I'm a Summer Olympics bid logo!"? With the IOC ban on Olympic-related imagery in bid logos, applicants have to push their creativity a little further in order to ensure a minimal sport-related feeling in their logos. The same can be asked of all the logos, and as you said, that's mostly due to the IOC rules. I thought that the best one was Chicago's old one, especially with the "Stir the soul" tagline. It just made me feel something. As mentioned elsewhere, all the logos are (and will most likely be from now on) not much more than a logo more fit for a tourism office.

Kenadian Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 It isn't bad, but it feels wintery. A snowflake has six sides and several past Winter Olympic logos have taken this shape. I also don't care much for gradient colours in logos. Overall, it is OK, if a bit off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the background of the logo video on their site, those images are also of a six-sided design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRATK Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm surprised with the logo... I supposed it would be awful... well, it was just prejuice. The logo is good... but as Kendegra said, it looks more like a WOG logo than a SOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 The logo is really good. It's a shame that Baku's bid is kind of an unknown lark. Even if the IOC went nuts and decided to give the games anywhere near there it would have to be Doha, and even that is a longshot itself. But Baku is doing good nonetheless. It's putting effort into how it presents itself. That's the downfall of many "test bid" cities. Borjomi anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceNarcissus Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well Azerbaijan and Qatar are not in the same area. Uhh. They are both middle eastern and have strong middle eastern ties. Azerbaijan just happens to also have a southern soviet influence. I suppose if you get into minute technicalities they could be described as separate areas. It's just the Turkey argument all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OompH! Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 looks like nice, but still i think they had to add some animated stuff around. Is this fire in the logo? Why fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmet Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Why fire? Because that's Azerbaijan's national symbol. It is commonly known as the land of fire and the ancient fire worshipping faith of Zoroastism takes birth there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
