Remember a few months back we were trashing the Vancouver Olympic inukshuk logo? I'd posted my rough redesign at the time, and today I got an email from my host telling me the International Olympic Committee wants it removed.
Jerk bastards!

i like the one before and this is also good.
this one seems more organized and more commerical, which is a good thing

yeah I saw something on tv about that, you leagally cannot promote or display anything with associated with the olympics without legal permission from the whom ever is the olympics permission guy.
I also thought that was pretty lame. I believe it has something to do with controling how there logos and name are being used ect.

The IOC will squish you like a grape. However, if you are an egg, they won't be able to squish you because of your oval shell.

heh, check out the poll results (on the right-hand side) of brandelec's link...

the olympics are just getting way too big and out of control. I like everything about the actual event, but the organization is just a corporate bully armed with throngs of lawyers ready to sue anyone that doesn't please them.
*waits to get sued for that comment.

they want you to remove your comps from your website.. ?
i don't undertsand? can they do that? was it in the contest fine print or something?
- prophet0NE0
yeah, if it was submitted to them in the "contest" then you agreed to keep it under wraps, or else...

They suck!
Even the Olympic Committee want a small greek restaurant down the street from where I live, change their name (Olympia) and remove the five olympic ring they have at the front door. C'mon! these guys have been in business for like 20 years with the same name and the rings at the front door! it's not like they are trying to take advantage that the games are coming here.
Damn you Olympic Committee. I hope you all burn in hell!

I wasn't even in the contest!
This was just for an NT PVN thread!
- danthon0
you made a mock logo and they found it?
- Jaline0
Damn, and I love the Olympics. I hope that logo doesn't overshadow everything else :(
