Vancouver 2010 Olympics

Because I Can...

I would assume by now that most people have seen what the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games medals are going look like, seeing as though designs were released yesterday (Thursday, October 15)... apparently their are some mixed emotions about the unique design, some describing it as 'ugly' or as 'microwaved frisbees' to mention a few.

For those not aware of the creativity behind the design, according to vancouver2010.com, "Their dramatic form was inspired by ocean waves, drifting snow and the mountainous landscapes found in the Games region and across Canada." I highly recommend going to the site to watch the video posted so you can listen to the Corrine Hunt, the artist who's art inspired the design, not to mention the amount of labour, consideration and collaboration that went into each and every one!

I just want to say that the medals are amazingly beautiful... and anyone lucky enough to get one of those around their necks will be nothing but grateful! Now in my own words... their fucking cool and I love the wave and I love the artwork and that not two are alike. Well done!
