I mean, seriously. An Inukshuk? A smiling Inukshuk? Like that has shit all to do with the westcoast.

  I hate to say it, but that's exactly what I was thinking. Glad to see I wasn't the only one.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

 The Chicago committee was told some weeks ago that they needed to redesign their logo -- because it looks too much like the torch (which is protected). Yeah, I heard about that. Its a shame too because I think they have the best one. | |

It looks like a random piece of graffiti doodled by some truant ragamuffin kid in between vandalising a car and playing on the tracks. They should award the Games to Paris double quick! Some things are best left unveiled. Damn!  I see the "2012" but it looks like a rock'em sock'em robot....  Yes!!!!!
It's actually P's new album title. M MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

Yeah, I heard about that. Its a shame too because I think they have the best one. Had the original looked more like the reflection of the skyline in the lake (which I suspect was the concept) and less like a torch, they would've been fine. Unfortunately, they'll probably have to start from scratch. Now that the "torch seed" has been planted in peoples' heads, that's all they'll see. It's too bad, really -- because the design is very cool. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

[Edited 6/4/07 14:32pm] I think this one is actually pretty cool. I think it's stupid because it has absolutely nothing to do with Vancouver. If the Olympics were being held in Iqaluit, sure. But on the lower westcoast? Why not a raven? An orca? A mountain range? Something to do with the city? Or, if you absolutely must work the Native theme, why not something that -crazy as this might sound -actually has something to do with the Native groups who live in the area? A longhouse or bentwood box or something? Using an Inukshuk to represent Vancouver makes as much sense as using a cowboy to represent urban Toronto. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Vancouver isn't ugly, but point taken about the weirdness of the choice of symbol. Chicago is nice.  oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
