Rio’s 2016 Olympic committee revealed their logo last week, and we sure heard about it from Barfers. “Looks like a thong”, they said. “Looks like a penis,” they said. “Gradients!” they said.
“Sure,” we said. “But we have loads of logos that look like Accidental Genitals.”
And then Barfer Kristin sent this article our way, detailing the charges against Rio’s design team that they plagiarized the logo of Colorado’s Telluride Founation:
Which is really interesting. There are certainly similarities between the Telluride logo and Rio’s logo, but if you could look into our folders and see the collection of Empowered Star Shaped Stick Figures we have saved up, you’d see that both logos are victims of lazy, unimaginative design committees.
