Olympic Logo Sketches

  1. Aesthetically, I think the upper right is the best, though I'm not really sure what the concept behind it is. All I really know of Vienna is that I don't like their sausages, and that it's the setting of The Third Man. If that film was at all accurate in saying that Vienna for a time was a meld of English, American, Russian, and German cultures, then I totally get it and I think it works. Otherwise, it's a little vague (but at least it looks nice).

  3. I go to the bottom right first just because i love crazy type like that, but being in vienna, the rest fit the area much better. i like the top right (circle swirl) one

  4. I like the upper right and the bottom middle one. The upper right has an interesting abstract shape and the flower is also a good one because you can give it fun effects using the ring colors
    Vienna is beautiful, let me know if you need specific images...i visited Austria in summer and have lots of pictures!

  5. These are clean. Good flow, good representation. I like the different approaches.

  6. I added numbers so it makes it easier to reference individual sketches. Thanks for the feedback btw. I'm surprised you guys like #7 so much, I didn't have a definitive concept in mind when I sketched other than the fact that it felt like an Olympic logo. I think it has something to do with the idea of togetherness like Chris said.

  7. #1 and #4 are the ones that work for me #1 looks like a crystal tower or cathedral and #4 looks like a torch both look simple and work.

  8. Numbers 1, 2 and 9 are pretty awesome. You should just experiment on the contours and line weight once you make them in illustrator. Rock it Core!

  9. I like #6, #7 and #8. I think the flower thing in #6 really says something about the culture in vienna. #7, I'm not too sure what it's about but if you have a concept i think it'll look awesome. and #8 I really liked the overlapping diamond shapes and the more modern nontraditional look. awesome stuff!

  10. I like #9 a lot because when I looked at it at first I thought there was fire at the top of it but after glancing at it again I saw the bird. I think its pretty good and well stylized. The other ones aren't bad either though but that one I like the best.
