I don't mind it, it could have been much worse - the old website was better though than this new one style wise. I dunno if this look really fits in with the mascots though.

Website looks awful, the illustrated elements are cool though.

Dare I say, some of the aspects of these graphics remind me of the Munich posters.
I will get hate comments, but I can't help what I see.

- You see what you see... I've yet to hear that comparison yet though...mrsparkle
- It'll never be as good, most likely, with the way identities are going, but it did immediately remind me of that.Jaline

Did Karacters do this? The detailed illustrations are really nice but I'm not sure about the pictograms. I think they may be hard to get at smaller sizes, especially in broadcast.
- Karacters did not do this. It's all done by an in-house design team. There are a set of pictograms and these illustrations are "sport illustrations".mrsparkle

How does one get in with the VANOC in-house design department? Budget is probably off the charts.

all their jobs are on workopolis.com i believe - I actually had an interview for a front end coding position but it only paid 45k so i passed cause i had a better offer.

karacters created the pre-Look of the games design elements (so everything you've seen up till now) and there is an internal design dept at VANOC which has created the look of the games. Bell web solutions designed the new website.
budget isn't as off the charts as you may think, especially considering we are following Beijing's whose operating budget was $40 billion and ours will come in just under $2 billion.

everybody knows the logo sucks... wah wah wah complaining about it is so 4 years ago.
anyways, this is canada's chance to crack the top 4. at the very least I want to see our hockey team grab a gold again... after 2006's dismal performance...
- i don't think it sucks, i just don't think it was very original, aesthetically it is nicematt31

i really like the rock statue logo, probably one of the better olympics logos but the sporty stuff does look like clip art
