The Beijing Summer Olympics. First the Logos

Beijing used this Logo in connection with its
2001 bid to host the 2008 Olympics. It's Cool!
Based on this Logo alone and the competitor city logos
(Take a look below and judge for yourself.)
Beijing deserved to win. Its Logo
has Pizzazz. It captures Athletic Participation
and action. It is the Olympics.
It is truly Great!!!

Consequently, when it was replaced by the
stick man Logo (see below the competitors)
it was more than disappointing,
it was truly shocking.

Boring. Middle School Contest. Teacher wanted
everyone to win
a prize .
Language school ad?
Oui, Paris?
No. Non. No way.
A Ghost Buster, Pillsbury Doughboy, Michelin Remix?
The 2nd best.
Oneness, Unity Love.
Just like Cyprus

No, it's not a caveman drawing.
It's the Dancing Jing.
What? Yeah. Jing! Don't you get it?
Jing as in Beijing!
It's artistic free play with the Chinese Character Jing!
You see Bei means North & Nan means South.
& Jing means Capital.
In the old days, Beijing was the Northern Capital
& Nanjing was the Southern Capital.

Also, it is suppose to looks like a guy running.
Now, do you get it? No? Don't worry.
Neither did 1.3 Billion Chinese.
However, no one dared question
the wisdom of the leaders and
no one wants the country to loose face.
So, don't talk about it and never say,
"The King has no clothes."
