I wish I'd designed the winning logo too. But I'm not going to knock a good piece of work out of JEA.
I think the logo is nice. It stacks up against lots of past ones...

An inukshuk was an obvious choice. I've only been to Vancouver once and I couldn't help but notice how many were built around Stanley Park.
It represents a beacon for safe journey through travel.
As far as criticizing the fact that people who may or may not know what it means... consider that people around the world will find out once sportscasters from around the world mention the significance. And besides... It looks like a simplified human form. And that's enough of a significance for most people.
It's easy for kids to draw in their sketchpads while they sit in class dreaming about the olympics.
I imagine the mascots looking pretty funny. Walking around like a goofy stack of rocks.
To the designer. Nice work. Gimme a call... Let's have lunch.
