The true test of this emblem would have to be in it's execution throughout the games themselves. Under more flat circumstances, with a generous amount of breathing space around the mark, I think it will look quite nice - as did the Athens emblem last summer in many situations. Once the CBC has whisping 3D light and glistening extrusions in perspective, it may become a tad sour.
I really like what the mark itself stands for: "Over time, the inukshuk has become a symbol of hope and friendship, an eternal expression of the hospitality of a nation that warmly welcomes the people of the world with open arms every day."
The above holds true to the 3 things in which the mark represents: Vancouver, Canada and the Olympics.
Just the sole fact that it has intrigued me enough to want to know what it means says a lot, in my opinion - because it's not only educational to the rest of the world, but even to Canadians.
Now if we could take off our "Too Cool" caps for a second and realize that although it may not be composed of the european forms that we all know and love, that it will certainly have something to say to the WORLD (which includes children!).
