I don't get my hopes up for design competitions like this that are open to the public because the judges will never take chances on anything interesting.
The concept erks me a bit because we are just pillaging something from native culture to sell happy meals, banking, phones, electronics, etc.
The first nations of BC were an important part of the Vancouver bid and it's nice to see that was reflected in the logo but the concept has been boiled down to something so bland, childish an unoffensive that the only people that won't like it are designers like us that are pissed off because it seems like a total designless cop-out.
I enjoy all the logos I've seen in this thread and I think the NT crew would have more success designing a logo for an olympic games not held in North America. I think that the designs I've seen here are way too savvy for the SUV-driving, mall-frequenting soccer moms feeding happy meals to their fat kids.
My 2 cents.
Xrtons, I quite enjoy your proposal!
