They will welcome the Olympians and Paralympians in 2010. They will be the most popular photo op among spectators. They will be the hottest gift for family and friends at home. And they are just waiting to be unleashed from someone’s wild imagination... They are the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games mascots.

eh? i don't get it? are they backing away from using the rock-man?
if they picked that (hideous) mark as a logo you'd think it would be the mascot too.
weird.

The mascot and the logo are different things. The logo is staying but this is an open call for proposals for the mascot.

maybe an east van themed mascot?
- horton0
haha what a joke.. they're only accepting "professional" proposals for this one, as opposed to the logo contest being open to everyone.
you'd think professional input on the logo would be more important than the mascot.
its like they realized the logo contest was a failure.
no mention of $$$ either.. budget is running thin, guess they'll be shopping for the cheapest proposal.

the whole thing is a bad idea.
olympics in vancouver that is.
- Xrtions0
i highly doubt that.
i bet they are doing this so they dont have to go through 1600 submissions again, yet still being able to keep it open to anyone to submit.

a bump for the west coast.
- horton0
oh great a bump, i'm feeling kinda dumbass now...
after my bitch post above i rcvd a personal email invitation from someone at Van2010, asking me to submit.
doh :D
- mrsparkle0
HA HA HA! Now that is funny.

haha @ horton
This idea is interesting. I just hope they choose something amazing and meaningful. I guess they were trying to get something meaningful for the logo but I'm not sure it's great in terms of design.
Also, I wished I had tickets to Vancouver to see the games. But it's nearly impossible to plan for it at this time. By 2010 I *should* be done the basics of school (I'm pretty weirded out by this realization) and should have some sort of career in mind or at least a job. I'll also be 23 years old, OMG.
