So, the logo in the next post has stirred up some controversy. Check out the coverage by Kris Krug on Vancouver 2010 Olympics Coverage Daily.

The 2010 Vancouver Emblem (Ilanaaq) was unvieled tonight at Imagine 2010. While searching for interesting links about the new logo for the Vancouver Olympics I found this interesting post from last Semptember about how the Graphic Designers of Canada are officially protesting the process of selecting the logo. Their gripe is that instead of Vanoc choosing and hiring a designer, they asked for ‘free’ logos from everyone and ran it as a content instead of a project. Very interesting. I’ve heard talk about this controversy before. I wonder what the designer who won thinks. If I’d of know about this before I met here I would have asked.

I agree. If you win out on a contest for a logo that will represent your country, you better damn well get something for it.
