    First logo always had class.

    At least they're not london.

    they're basing their logo off a not particularly attractive building which will be dozens of miles from any of the events

    way to go, champs

    first of all, old logo

    second of all, the rowing events are supposed to take place on lake michigan and have the chicago skyline as a backdrop

    yes we all saw that episode of the Simpsons.

    Had no idea the Simpsons did an episode about that, honestly. I just want some Stockholm Syndrome.

    Also I hear tell the weather's warm and toasty like an oven mitt.

    The 2010 logo wouldn't be so awful if it didn't have that stupid mouth.

    Also I can't wait until that is over and done with. It's going to be so crazy here and stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive.

    Ok the Vancouver logo is pretty good.

    Actually, their whole graphic design for the 2010 is really good, aside from that mouth.

    Look the 2012 logo is clearly meant to be (from top left) England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

    It is so obvious guys.

    Really? Well, color me shocked! I thought for sure Tokyo would get it. Asia all emerging as the power-house of the modern world and whatnot.


    Rio should get it. Chicago has already had the Olympics and stuff.

    Chicago actually hasn't had an Olympics. They almost did once, and were selected, but since St. Louis was having the World's Fair that year, they gave Chicago the finger and moved it to St. Louis.

    Seeing as Beijing had the previous games, the IOC are reluctant to allow an asian nation to host the games again so soon.

    I'm calling it - Madrid is getting voted off. No chance that the back-to-back olympics would be in Western Europe.

    I really want Chicago to win. But Rio would be cool too since South America has never hosted.

    about 20 people on the whole planet knows what this logo really is (its not a very good logo)

    WINTER OLYMPIC MASCOT SUPERIOR, SUMMER OLYMPIC MASCOT INFERIOR.

    Also, hoping for Chicago, but I'd also be happy with Madrid or Rio. Madrid's got the cool logo goin' on too.

    I read an article having to do with China a couple of weeks ago and it's great because the government/press liaison still can't go more than thirty seconds without mentioning the 2008 olympics.

    It was like a totally unrelated article criticizing China for something to do with human rights violations and it went right back to the "but did you see the 2008 Olympics?"

    Ah, it's so fun reading Chinese rhetoric. Shame, face, foreigners, yadda yadda we want respect

    i am like 5 seconds away from renting out my dorm room to drunken hockey fans for like 800 dollars a night

    and they'd pay for it too!

    If my sister happens to go to one of the schools in B.C., she will probably be one of your crazy hockey customers.

    London 2012 is going to bring nothing but shame upon this fair isle. I feel tremendously embarrassed already. London may well be one of the most important and influential cities in the world, but it's a hole. A shit sty filled with nothing but grime and filth. It's going to be Athens all over again, except we won't have the mystique of ancient greece to mask out budget problems.
