Ratchet, do you just complain about everything? :wall:

 

They look interesting to me, I don't really have much of an opinion on them however.

 

Not everything, but a lot of things.

Fail logo fails.

 

I hope that is a joke.

 

It took me a moment to realize that those pink blobs were supposed to say 2012

I didn't realize it until you said so. That's quite...in..ter..esting...? No, nevermind, it's just awful

It probably should go back to the 80's where it would be accepted... maybe.

 

To the medals, I sort of like them. They could have at least been creative with the random waves though :/.

Medals are fine. Don't care for the waves but whatever, it's not too bad. The 2012 logo is another story though, wtf is that london.

That logo is the cause of the world-ending in 2012

O_O

Is that supposed to be funny?

 

But the logo is truly terrible, what were they thinking?

... I know, i'm lame =\

 

After seeing that logo i think the medals look great O_o

I can imagine the conversation in the Olympic commitee about the new medals.

 

"Sir! Something went wrong in the process of creating the medals!"

"Ugh, so what do they look like now...?"

"They're sorta bent out of shape, for one...."

"Oh, we can just call it modern art then. Now go away and let me drink my coffee in peace."

 

As for the 2012 logo, WTH? If they put that on medals and still have it be bright pink, I might vomit while watching the Olympics.

I really like the 2010 medals, they capture the essence of Canada nicely and are a lot more unique and creative than other Olympic Medals. The whole idea of splitting a larger piece of First Nation's artwork so that each medal is unique from all the others is really what makes them so special. :) This article gives a little more insight to their design and has some more images so you can really get a close up look at them.

 

Also for the first time, the medals are not flat. Instead, they have an undulating surface intended to represent the West Coast landscape of mountains and waves and drifting snow.

 

That kind of explains why they aren't flat. Besides the design has a smooth kind of flow to it so it's not some bashed up piece of metal. You almost have to live near Vancouver to realize how the medals do reflect the 2010 games and the elements of where the games are taking place.

 

As for the 2012 logo, all I can say is that it wouldn't look too bad if it was a different colour rather than the purple-pink. Also putting the logo all on one line would make it easier to actually read.

i think the new medals are nice,just a bit different.

I like them. Nice and you-nique. Hehe. The 2012 logo just burns your eyes to the point of wanting to rip them out.

lampost_sig_stark.png

Yep, that 2012 logo is full of fail, who the hell designed it!

Is that actually the finalised design of it? Or can they still change it...

 

On another note I think the medals are cool :P

Doomy edit: I like sheep

I dunno, I think the medals are a lot nicer looking then regular-boring-round medals.

I'm pretty sure that's the finished design :(

 

I want them, so desperately, to change it though.

I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator].

The idea behind it is great.

 

I like the look of the medals. Look better than any circle I know.

I think it was on 8 out of Ten Cats where one of the comedians said that the logo looked like Lisa Simpson giving head LOL.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to like the medals now.

They look.. horrific. Bring back the original medals any day.  :mellow:

 

What do you mean by original? The ones used back in 776BCE in the original Olympic games or the ones used back in 1896 in the original games of the modern reincarnation?

Blimmin, the logo looks like it came out of something unpleasant. And its very disordered.

 

Can't believe I watched the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics, and saw "that".. :shame:

Why are people (who are never even going to win an olympic medal in their lifetime) complaining on how it looks? As has already been said, it's only the athlete's concern how it looks and the athlete's probably shouldn't care anyway. It has a nice background story as well, and incorporates Aboriginal arts into a modern installment of an age old tradition of the olympics. Couldn't have gone better in my opinion.

[hide=]

tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:
But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.
That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.

Apparently a lot of people say it. I own.

Because everyone has an opinion. I don't live in England but if something happens over there that may or may not agree on I can still state my opinion like everyone here is despite not being one of the athletes.

Cannot unsee!

I think the london 1012 logo is impractical, not too well designed, but I think it still looks pretty cool. I like the medals too.
