Superb, well done.
I'd imagine there has been quite a bureaucratic process involved in getting it to this point. Well done for managing to retain its' subtlety.

...shocked and disappointed the london 2012 pic hasn't appeared here yet. you all are slacking today.

- the style is NOTHING like this.. wtf???gentleman
- what is it with designer's knee jerk reaction to reffering to Otl Aichers posters everytime a new olympic thing comes out?gentleman
- look at the colour and style of the treatment of the imagery. relax there gentleman.jimzyk
- No, the entire Vancouver campaign reminds me of Otl's work as well. Can't put my finger on it. Perhaps the colours.juhls
- And I wouldn't say that about any other campaign.juhls
- seeeeeee....
even juhls thinks so!jimzyk - *perhaps the colours*juhls
- nah i don't see it at all. perhaps its those 5 link rings... ? ;)horton
- possibly horton....
possibly..jimzyk

heh, comin along there ...and yeah...props for wading through ridiculous crap and no doubt interference to come up with that....
and noted that anytime you use colors or olympic designs that even simply evoke thoughts from designers of the 1972 identity work, you will be praised...that is the key to not getting completely torn apart and vomited upon like the london 2012 logo got..haha

Is it just me, or does this actually look a bit like a bad student project? Can't say I agree with you fellas. Dull.

I live in Vancouver and I'm not a fan. I just find it terribly obvious. It feels like it was made by a team of real-estate media designers and former EA employees, which it probably was. And turning the inukshuk into a corporate logo? lame, and totally unrelated.
However it might give foreign investors a very "Vancouverly" impression and inspire them to build more condos, and if that's the case - success!
- none of us worked at EA.benhulse
- no worries, its nice.ThePublics
- Good luck to ppl living there, all the tax dollars wasted. Might have to pay back rest of there livesMisterMonk

- Outdoor bamboo blinds, i like it.
He's branching out!
seriously good work thoughjimzyk - Completely agree, neue.juhls
- +1 much better logosikma
- i always found it a little cold and stiff imho. way too obvious and doesn't suggest winter or vancouver.horton
- Greg is working with us now! Outed!mrsparkle
- horton, you do have a point.juhls
- I do agree horton, it just takes a bit of a bigger risk, but does reference an era of when canadian graphic design was goodneue75_bold
- actually good... and inline with what was happening around the world..neue75_bold
- but in this day and age, how much do you need to communicate about vancouver and cliché Canadiana?neue75_bold
- I think people are probably well versed in what to expect in both the olympics and the city that holds them..neue75_bold
- You can't have elements that close to the rings. It's nice, but wrong from the get go.Bembo
- exactly!

- amazing how the level work in your folio is no where near the level of this piece. kind of odd.marcostill
- my folio is super old -- but that's neither here nor there. this poster was made by a team.benhulse
- lovely..neue75_bold

IT SUCKS BIG TIME! NO REFERENCE TO OLYMPICS MORE LIKE PROMOTING THE CITY! REMEMBER IS ABOUT ALL THE SPORTMANSHIPS, IT'S ABOUT THE ATHLETES.
NOT ABOUT HOW GREEN THE CITY IS!
SO FIRED EVERYONE ONE WORKING ON THIS CRAP!- LoL so the city wasting Tax Payers money on this, yet no body know or care where Vanciuver is!MisterMonk
- what was your solution when you got hired to do work for an Olympics? Must've been way better that the Vancity stuff!!VectorMasked
- wow no need to yell.pango
- sandrinho0
great!
- mrsparkle0
Wow. *Great constructive feedback.*
The day that you show your own work is the day that you can flame the work of others.
Thanks to those who started a constructive discussion / opinions on the design.
Cheers!
sp- love the poster... when can we buy copiesbrandelec
- You can buy them now!!
http://www.vancouver…mrsparkle - mrsparkle. what's the promo code for those giclees ;)brandelec
- Shit. I need to ask around.
I don't have a promo code!mrsparkle

sorry, cant help it if I hate Vancouver's unofficial (official?) brand standard, to which you guys have conformed. If was completely impartial and didn't live here, I'm sure I would have a different opinion.

Your work aside. The Olympics in Vancouver is and will be the worst thing that happens to this city.
- I'm starting to think the same thing.sikma
- you not gonna bother with the hot dog and Labatt 50 stand Chris?neue75_bold
- Oh it's still on. But my budget has been cut because I'm paying for the athlete's village. Now it's pretzels and Wildcat.2cents
- haha, Wildcat is what I was trying to remember, can't believe they still pass that off as beer..neue75_bold
- It's amazing what they pass off as "beer" in this country.2cents
