What do you think of the new logo?
- ninjasavant0
I think its one of the best olympics logo I've seen in some time.

Stylistically, it's fine. It's pretty. An improvement over the last half-dozen (at least) Olympic logos.
Content-wise... is anyone outside of Chicago going to know that the star references Chicago's flag? Does anyone outside of Chicago even realize they had a flag? Hell, does anyone IN Chicago recognize the star/know about the flag?

1st ones better

The London one looks like M.I.A.'s album.

The first one is far better and is reminiscent of something actually having to do with the city of Chicago. The official logo is just a 6 pointed star and some gradients, I get no sense of that having anything to do with Chicago. It's nice, but it could just as easily be a logo for GloboCom, InterSoft or any other generic and faceless company logo.

They had to get rid of the first one because, in that round of the bidding, they cannot use logos that include Olympic imagery such as the torch.
That sucks, because yah, it's a beautiful and elegant logo.

Oh, and the people who signed off on the original logo without reading the specifications were executed right at their desks in the middle of the work day.
