nice job, Hanna!

Reach is in a league of its own.....

the ones from 1976 and 1980 are just plain awful....

ZELJO · 24th July 2009, 13:37

One moment in time,by far,but Amics per sempre means many good memories...

ZELJO · 24th July 2009, 13:39

"Do svidanya, Moskva" is beautiful

Oh God, no

The 1996 ones are some of the most annoying songs ever heard in a Summer Olympic edition (I'm so tired of "Reach", simply annoying - Céline Dion's english songs aren't usually good and that one is no exception)

LAboy 456 · 2nd November 2009, 12:41

Without a doubt, "Do svidanya, Moskva", "One moment in time" and "Barcelona" are the best ones. "Amigos para siempre" is good as well, but not in the same league as the aformentioned

at "Je t'aime"

So does the one for Moscow. (And amazingly, London's worse than either of them.)

Come on, Montreal '76 and Moscow '80 are beautiful examples of aligned logo designs of that time. Just take a look at the type work, it's really amazing. And then compare it to the huge load of unbelievable crap that finished in 2004 only. All those logos looks like they all have been done by kids in MS Word.

The Moscow logo is really great, except for the red star thing in it and the event that prevented that games from being the best Olympics, despite the magnificent organizing job.
