The
2010 Winter Olympics will feature a unique design
of an inukshuk, a traditional stone sculpture used
by Canada's Inuit people, as its official logo.
The winning logo, called Ilanaaq (el la nawk), was
unveiled Saturday in Vancouver and was designed
by local graphic designers Elena Rivera MacGregor
and Gonzalo Alatorre. |
Their
emblem was selected by a nine-member panel and beat
out over 1,600 other submissions.
The logo boasts five stone-like formations in green,
two in blue, and one in red and yellow. Two pillars
serve as the legs in support of the body, a horizontal
shape acts as the arm and an eagle is where the
head would normally be.
The form stands over the words "Vancouver 2010"
and the five Olympic rings.
The different colours represent different regions
of the country: the green and blues symbolize coastal
forests, mountain ranges and islands. The red represents
Canada's Maple Leaf and the yellow depicts the brilliant
sunrises. |
Telling
Lies - Can A Device Know?
Each year we hear stories of how criminal investigation
authorities put suspects through tests to indicate if
they are telling the truth. To the layman it seems an
almost endless argument. Does the technology and wizardry
work?
