if you ask me, if you remove all trend and marketing for the olympics you have my vote. the olympiads are one of the most global beautiful events that should be free of commercial storm and stay aloft of our day-to-day inevitable rat-race (the Placebo pun is intended). just for our sake. imho.

i agree with your earlier london logo link, nick. it is so cool.
reasons why:
so obvious yet no one had done it
it looks like one of those images my dad would meditate with. i stared at one one night when i was on a hallucinogen and "tapped" into the deeper qualities of the image.. and whoa! do those buddhists get to see some crazy stuff! the thing was DANCING!
oh my god, i am rambling!
*cough
as you were.

looking deeply on in i really like it.
of course they could have gone for anything else, but british graphics (yeah yeah) have been dealing so much on grid and helvetica that the f33 logo would be a perfect wordly sum up for the global (complex/circle/world inside world) thing that London has become.
at least it's far better and wordly than the PT Euro symbol that only speaks for natives who know "filigrana" which is a type of gold artifact from the north of portugal... some sort of promotion that nobody really understands.

respectively i think new york does do the best job of reflecting the culture and establishing a connection between the two. even though i am not entirely impressed with the clip-art look of it

with regards to the f33 logo, it just doesnt sell me. if it were part of the advertising end of it, i think it could work, but as for a logo and once paired up with the rings, there is going to be a whole lot of circles going on. also, i think the design is color dependant, in which case if it were black or a knock out, it would also loose integrity. this attention to detail should be justified as much as the athletes who are have committed so much of their time for such an event...

a while ago folkert posted a link to a personal portfolio containing a contribution for a canada bid. that was a good logo incorporating the country as well as the olympic rings.

addition to my previous post regarding the f33 logo: the target thing may be 'london/uk' for some but certainly not for the majority. i hate the logo even more the more i think of it. genuine crap.- Dog-earNov 15, 04, 6:39 p.m. – Permalink

london and new york have the best logos (i think)
