So the usual protocol here is to take the new Olympic logo and mock it relentlessly, point out its flaws and make snarky comments about how the host nation/graphic designer take themselves way too seriously. But this time, we’re gonna be different. We’re gonna look on the positive side for once. We’re gonna list all the reasons why this new 2016 Rio de Janiero Olympics logo totally rocks!
Um, we have five years to turn in this assignment, right?
The logo was revealed “before more than 1 million New Year’s revelers on Copacabana beach just before midnight.” Not my image of New Year’s Eve in Rio, but whatever. Here are some reactions from Huffington Post readers:
- looks like two jock straps stuck together. — Beach House
- I like it way better than London’s spastic jig-saw puzzle thingey. — GeoTor
- The Rorschach inkblot test results are conclusive: there’s going to be lots of sex at the Rio Games. — Cuds
- Despite what the Brazil committee tells us….my thoughts...its three tourists tied up together, the end result of a hijacking. BEST OF LUCK Olympic fans!!! — BrandonBecker0728
