Madrid
won the 2020 Olympics bid , after losing a close battle with Rio de
Janeiro for 2016.
After a
nationwide competition,' Madrid 2020' logo was selected .'Luis Peire' , a
design student was announced as the winner with a prize money of
€6,000.But to everyone’s surprise the official logo has been heavily
altered.
Here is
the official Madrid 2020 logo :
Personally
I like the winning logo more than the one which was unveiled by the committee.
The
winning logo had:
• Five
colors which represented the Olympic rings (Yellow , Red , Blue , Green , Black
) • A text 'm20' representing Madrid 2020
• The shape resembling the 'Puerta de Alcalá' - The Independence Square in
Madrid
The official logo (which is a heavily modified version of the original one) had different colors , different shapes !!!! and even different text.Oops... on the first look it looked like a logo for 20020 Olympics.
Considerable
crop at the bottom of the original logo made 'm20' look like '20020' and I am
not able to figure out what the colors represent, does it represent
goooooogle ;)
I am not
sure whether the winning designer is happy with the way his logo is altered
,yet he managed to strike a pose with the official logo.
Do you
agree with me ? (or) do you like the official one?
