People sleep on Horse season far too much.

Hbomberguy: *TRIGGERED*

Is it wrong that I laughed at this? 🤣

😂😂😂

the 1948 London Olympics was nicknamed the Austerity Games because they spend no money on it (not that they had any money to spend). Then ended up housing the athletes in various army barracks and college dormitories around London.

@@KariIzumi1 i shouldn’t have laughed at this

@@KariIzumi1 hey I’m English and I laughed. But then again I hate London so take it with a pinch of salt

don't worry he corrects it to Slippery in the next video ^_^

As someone from a state other than Newcastle, Sidney, Wollongong I'm for it. In fact, I'm never spelling it any other way now, no matter what the Sidneysiders want to say about it.

There's also a municipality on Vancouver Island near Victoria BC called and spelled "Sidney"

I love that they kept the text for the 1970 world cup as well

Stare at it long enough and you start hallucinating despite not taking anything. It is a classic of psychedelic art :).

Mexico 1968 was the absolute peak of olympic logo design. So very clever. I am amazed at how poor the US efforts are - the US has some great graphic designers but their attempts are simply not up to standard.

Interestingly, the Mexico logo was reflected in a local tv station ident in the U.K. available on KZfaq - it was for Harlech Television from 1968. Worth a look but could only be broadcast in black and white.

Just don't research what happened to some protesting students before the games started

compare 1930s Nazi Germany Vs 2020s Communist Chinazi IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO Project.

oh yes pealse

Bartleby et al. discuss the mascots, hmm?

Surely he'd tear them apart from least to most recent.

I'm british and a graphic designer. The 2011 London Olympics mascots were.... a choice!

omg YES i'd love to see a ranking of the mascots

But that are also the colors of the Spanish flag, and considering blue is the royal color in Spain, it might be actually the opposite: The Spanish government forcing a "national" logo instead of a more regional one.

​@@DanideLouroyou say that, but the official Catalan flag is also just red and gold. the Catalan independence flag though? red, gold, and *blue.* (plus a white star)

@rin_etoware_2989 Yeah, it could be a nod to the independence movement, but with a nationwide effort involved in it, I think that the opposite is more likely.

This feels like a condensed Talking Simulator stream.

Wife just asked why I was watching something on Olympic logos. "Because Graham talks good."

A cat is always worth extra clicks, Baxter knows this.

This was rad and I want more of it. Moar. Moar! MOAR!!!

I've never even watched this channel before, but this kept appearing in my recommended and I'd totally subscribe if he made more stuff like this.

maybe hes referring to the modern one

you're right, it never actually took place in the actual city of Athens, as a matter of fact, it took place a good ways from the city (at least by foot), a good 50 miles away.

He's talking about the modern games, which DID begin in Athens

@@aegisofhonor What the hell are you talking about

Mj: that's when I took it personally

Now we need Beej and Ian to critique the mascots.

Yes!

I could not agree more.

I agree- keep Graham'ing it up and I'll be here forever.

Production is so good too! I love this

I was going to add that correction as well. 😊

I was hoping someone would mention this.

Which makes the reuse of the logo very fitting, as the whole reason Innsbruck was picked in 1976 was to be able to reuse what was already there.

As someone from Atlanta, I kinda hope he'd just skip past ours which was literally drawn by a kindergartner, if I was told correctly.

Or an analysis of the design Olympic torches for each Olympic Games. One of them looks a stylized fly swatter. Another looks like a candy dish.

Moscow80 wins again

I would watch the heck out of those kinds of videos. (Both mascots and torches) I’ve kind of been hyperfocused on the Olympics and there’s surprisingly not much content that’s informative out there.

@@TARDIS915 wdym Izzies got the drip

Hey I definitely deserved this

@@nuggetstheunicorn1592 oh *we* do deserve it, but not KZfaq™

I would watch that!

If he wants to stay on the topic of the Olympics for a bit, I’d love to hear his thoughts on the mascots!

War Penguin yes. Just yes

@@LlamasAtMidnight Good news. Mascots are next.

Well that is how Juan Antonio pronounced it 🤣. The bid logo was so much smarter than the one we went with.

The Sydney logo is the best one! It’s boomerang limbs to give it a distinctly Australian take on the running, each a distinct colour to reflect the colours of Australian environments. Plus he’s running beneath the shape of the opera house so we know where in Australia this is and the angle of the blue can also be the Olympic flame as well. Unlike any of the other designs the meaning in the logo is layered and nuanced. It’s perfect.

I also loved some of the branding that was done for the Sydney 2000 games, especially as seen on Ansett Airways special liveries leading up to the games. And who can forget Syd, Millie and Olly (The real best Olympic mascots). Moreover I hate how graphic designers obsess over the phrase Its very dated..... when everything we look at as cool now will be considered "dated" in the near future. I quite like designs from the late 90's to the early 2000's as it showed a time of optimism and looking forward to the future with bright colours and shading, a lot of things now just seem very bland or looking to the past for "inspiration"

I was, like, 3 or 4 when the Sydney Olympics occurred. I remember seeing that logo everywhere, but I had no idea what it was for. I also remember getting the Happy Meal plushies of the mascots - Ollie the kookaburra, Syd the platypus, and an echidna whose name escapes me - but again, having no idea what they were for. I think it was when the Beijing Olympics came around 8 years later that it finally clicked for me. Also, I just Googled it, and the echidna's name was Millie. There was also a frilled lizard mascot named Lizzie, though I have *no* memory of her, so I'm guessing she got sidelined a bit. It's funny, because there was 90s childrens cartoon called _Blinky Bill_ that also had a frilled lizard character, named Ruff, who also got Chuck Cunningham'ed early on, so I'm guessing frilled lizards aren't particularly popular despite their iconic appearance.

I always thought the Sydney logo looked like a cheap piece of knock-off Ken Done tourist tat.

The Denver one in particular gives me pause because I think it looks ugly but I totally get what they're going for with it nonetheless and it's really clever.

Yes!!! I agree 1000% He should explore Munich in more detail! I love the design of Munich 1972

Munich's branding is easily the most impressive total work

Isn't it supposed to be a laurel?

@@Jsdo1980 no, olive tree is correct, back then it was one of the most important crops that existed in the mediterranian area, that produced both food and oil (which is also food but has other uses)

@@trillaco1 Sorry, mixing up the terms in laurel wreath. I'm not a native speaker, so I didn't know that laurel was the plant. It's a wreath made from olive.

i saw a (spoof??) suggestion for a tokyo 2020 logo that had the oplympic rings all normal, except that the red ring was the japanese sun and honestly, that would have been some tokyo '64 stuff, if it had happened

Did it aged well or we got suck into the same kind of asthetics again?

absolutely the correct opinion yes !

I like it too. I just wish the olive branches were drawn more elegantly.

and you calling that grating pronunciation "correct" makes me cringe

That sounds yummy

Noooooooooooooooo now that's going to be stuck in my mind forever....

I worked London 2020 also and liked the logo but in the pink that it actually was in not the white

I saw that Lisa meme once in 2012 and it's still all I can see when I look at that logo

NOOOOOOOOOOO

... but, can we all agree to stop sex-chaming? oral sex is a valid part of human sexual activity no need to be called rude...

also the logo itself spells "Rio", each person is playing a different sport (green: volleyball, yellow: handball and blue: diving), it's 3d (!!!!!!) and the font is AMAZING! that "16" achieved something I thought it was impossible: to overcome the "!6" from the bid logo. it's brazilian, it's carioca, it's sporty Am I biased, since I am myself a carioca and worked for the olympics? maybe! but just like graham said, it's just my opinion! hahaha

100% agree the Rio one was great

Hello Avery, I see you everywhere.

The first thing that came to my mind was the flag of Denmark.

I was thinking Denmark

YES!!

I love it too!

Yeah. Sydney's wasn't that good, but all I remember from Sydney Olympics was the wombat mascot with the massive arse.

@@JayJay-dp8ky Everyone I know keeps on talking about how great Sydney olympics was (I was too young to remember), but I do remember the three mascots vaguely. I just know they wouldn't have aged well at all from my memory

@@JayJay-dp8ky There wasn't a Wombat among them. Was a Platypus, Echidna and Kookaburra. Syd, Millie and Olly. Also a Frill-Neck Lizard for the Paralympics named Lizzy... cause apparently they used their symbolism up with the main three. As for the games, I mean... I was ten years old at the time, I remember it reasonably fondly in the sense that the Torch looked cool and damn near every Australian Athlete they hyped up got a medal of some sort. Kinda one of those scenarios where it was nice to watch your home country win a decent amount in their own country. _Course the absolute best moment in the Olympics for Australians ever didn't come until the next Winter games in 2002 with that legendary speed skating gold from Steve Bradbury,_ but hey, plenty of medals at home was good to see too.

@@JayJay-dp8ky Fatso the Wombat was actually a parody mascot, from Roy & H.G.

Maybe the small one is Island of Man...

@@clopec isle of man*

I never thought of the logo that way, I’m currently comparing this logo to the map of the UK and Ireland and I can kind of see it

This, and the clip of the one guy doing Franky's pose from One Piece

Yeah this was just really easy and relaxing to watch

@@ericmarquis319 Wait, context?

@@wannabehistorian371 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5ycY69h0ceYf4U.html

The one for Paris already exists, and raises an obvious question: why does that Olympic torch have lips? EDIT: Also the Beijing 2022 logo is going to have the same font issue that Graham had with '08, but the actual logo is pretty fresh, IMHO.

Pyongyang 2036 and onward !!! It shall be the only new Olympic city for eternity

Kye Dalgleish isn't that supposed to be Brisbane?

@@LlamasAtMidnight Brisbane is 2032 but PYONGYANG WILL BE 2036

Essa logo também tem o formato de um dos pontos turísticos mais famosos do Rio de Janeiro: o Pão de Açúcar. Além disso, forçando um pouco, dá pra ler "Rio" ali, mas é se esforçando pra abstrair. Sem falar que é tridimensional. Algumas curiosidades só

It’s also meant to depict Sugarloaf Mountain.

I loved the symbols used to indicate the competitions.

9 year old me was obsessed with Izzy and wanted all of the hat pins, all of the plastic figures they had at hotel chains, and rented the cr*p out of the video game. Izzy still holds a special place in my heart... probably a tumor. ... though I do understand people's fear of it when looking at the plush/costume incarnations and early renderings of it, I still think the final cartoon version was really cool and well done when shown competing in events.

La majorité des montréalais ne savent même pas l'existence des 3 sommets .

@@emiriebois2428 c’est pour ceux qui le savent 😘

I thought the top part of the logo looked more like a stylized fleur-de-lys than a maple leaf, but what do I know?

That shade of green with the gold border is very late 90's to me for some reason

I liked Atlanta’s the best overall but I loved the so called boring winter ones from the 30s.

all the ideas in this logo are clever, but they shouldn't be used at same time.. it could be just the flame-to-star (different color scheme, PLEASE! and don't you dare say "red, white and blue"), typemark and rings (in gold)! oh, and a white background!

Definitely the case. The soviet logo was essentially the exact same thing as the 80's logo but from a failed state.

Graham doesn't understand the context of the 84 logo because he did not understand the Cold War. There is a reason why the 1984 Games were the most successful in history, it's because the 84 Games was the world asking America to be 'Murica, and America said Hell Yeah!

@@dynasty0019 what do you mean by “most successful olympics”?

@@ChicoTunda Most profitable, most attended, and had the most lasting legacy of any Olympic games. Part of the profits made was used to establish a youth sports scholarship fund for less-privileged athletes, that money is still in use today. None of the venues used in the 84 Games were ever abandoned nor neglected afterwards.

Ya see, one of those is in an extremely racist country. And the other is in Germany.

@@raphaelsanchez7386 hats off my man. Good kek

@@raphaelsanchez7386 🧐 kinda a backhanded defense to hitler when you don’t call Germany racist while he was In power. But America bad.

Seconded. It was a joke before the Games, it was a joke during the Games, it was a joke ever since the Games, it's been mocked by every angle of British culture. It's pretty much objectively horrid.

At least you remember what it looks like haha

because everyone is supposed to take one look at it and go "What izzy?"

Nice to find someone else who likes Izzy.

@@princesskyrie We're definitely out there ;)

Atlanta did a few things wrong for the Olympics and this is number 1! Why not a native Georgian animal? Or maybe a stylised ancient Greek athlete (like in the pictograms)?

@@LordDavid04 Well the state animal is apparently the White-tailed Deer and the state bird is the Brown Thrasher.
