The big event unveiling the emblem for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics happened at GM Place and was broadcast live across Canada.

The production values were high. In addition to the expected boring speakers, the more boring ones were before the TV broadcast started, there were Cirque de Soleil acrobats doing a performance, singing and of course pageantry.

When I first saw the emblem, I wasn't that impressed. It lacked the slickness that the bid logo had. However the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. It is quite simple and easily recognizable.
