London won the bid for hosting the Olympics & the Paralympic summer games in 2012. This is surely a moment of jubiliation for Sebastian Coe and the bidding team. On the other hand it was quite exciting to watch the bidding countries’ logos :-) I have always been fascinated by the colour and the theme related to the respective city. And just in case you are wondering about the headline, London will be hosting the games for a second time after 1948.
So this time at the 117th IOC Session at Singapore there were 5 teams (or rather cities) competing for the coveted invitation to host the Olympics in 2012. From all the official websites of the bidding team, New York’s was the most coolest. I think it’s got that vibrant feel to it – much the same way the city projects itself. If you see the ads on the website (you need either a QuickTIme or a Windows Media Player) you’d realise how much effort they have put in to win the bid. The navigation is simple and the design is uncluttered. And oh and did I mention that it’s made in Flash ? :)
