Are you sure it's not? Just because the company liked it best doesn't mean the designer wasn't being clever.

Why does it seem impossible for any country to not totally fuck up making an Olympic mascot? Seriously. How do any of these designs ever see the light of day!

 Holy. Fuck. The only thing that sucks more than the olympics are the mascots themselves. I suppose that's why they always make them such shit. |

I want to know why the hell they waste all the resources making mascots that no one gives a shit about. Show the damn 5 ring logo and be done with it. It's about the athletes and the competition. Fuck the pin collectors.

HAHA! The olympics stopped being about the athletes a long time ago. Ever since Juan Antonio Samaranch (an actual fascist btw) took over the presidency of the IOC it's been rapidly turned into nothing but a giant, corrupt, corporate money-making machine. Mascots and logos that provide no useful benefit but cost obscene amounts of money? Yeah, that's what the olympics are all about. |

I'll keep half an eye on the boxing via the web to see if a decent heavyweight crops up, but basically fuck the Olympics. I don't even care about the bullshit world of Olympic amateur boxing. At all. It's just a talent farm. Edit:  |

Though it would still be terrible, they could have made that logo roughly 5 times better by simply using each one of the Olympic colors for the 5 shapes...hell, I thought that using the colors was basically and unwritten rule. What the hell kind of color is that?

All about the marketing. If it doesn't have any, someone will suggest it and grab some college graduate to do the work and pay some marketing CEO for it. That's the new hotness, create advertising markets for everything and anything. Greatest reference is the Spaceballs parody - SPACEBALLS the LUNCHBOX! |

I liked China's, and not just cause one of them was a panda. China's was less awful than the last few, but I still thought it was shit overall. I gather the China mascots were a marketing disaster, because to Chinese people they represent evil witch demons or something. Reading this served to raise my opinion of Chinese people. |

Given that Olympics are designed as a competition to find individuals who are best in the world at doing something of no use to anyone, maybe this is a subtle metaphor. |

Bring back the good old days of the Olympics with medals for poetry and sculpture. Also fuck the Olympics, when they're somewhere else I can ignore them, I do not want to be living in the same city they're going on in.

It does make for quite the emphasis on it's crotch area, doesn't it. Seriously though, what the fuck? This I get (even if the one on the right looks a little stoned, at least he doesn't look like a cross between a teletubby and a sextoy):  I have a Quatchi doll sitting on the loveseat in my living room. Why? Because it's cute, damnit. |

They look like Pixar-inspired designs. Ones designed by lower-aged primary school students. I do like the crothless pants, though. Adds a certain class.
