Hey Champos! Here’s a few notes I cut out of the video cause I don’t like to talk too much. 1. Barcelona logo - I changed the Yellow to a more orange, because that particular shape in that color looks a bit like a banana - I recognize that those are the colors of the flag of Catalonia. So In retrospect, I could have just switched which shapes were yellow and which were red, and not had to change any colors : ) 2. Atlanta - I would have liked to keep at least one more color - the blue, the magenta etc, but it feels more powerful without those colors. 3. Paris - I think with the new design we get the idea of the flame, and also have the hair in one shape - we actually don’t lose any “creative” elements and we can reduce the brain-workout people have to do to understand the icon. Also, we strengthen the idea of Marianne by bringing the idea to full fruition, which in my opinion, brings back the Grandeur to the games. Finally I would have liked to do a subtle indication of a head piece which might have been worn by a woman in the 1920’s to further integrate the icon with the Art Deco inspired Typography. 4. Los Angeles - This one was tricky to make simple enough while still capturing the same level of movement from the first design. 5. London - I think it was simplified which moves it away from having some of the negative connotation that is attached it, which is an improvement - but I think the entire idea would have to change to make something really cool and lovable - something that shouts out to the games and the history of the city or the country. Thanks for being here awesome possums, make sure to keep moving forward on your projects! Catch you tomorrow : )
Atalanta is an interesting thing, because at that time pins and badges were really popular so the main merchandise were pins. They used gold bases and painted them, so they choose green to help the gold color pop. Google: olympics atlanta 1996 pins Quality content as always! Keep up the good work! ;)
The Atlanta one is weird because the original one is too busy and the recreated one doesn’t flow right. I would’ve kept the 100 and the rings where they were at for aesthetics sake. For color, I either would’ve changed the rings to their original colors or changed the fire and stars to match the Olympic logo colors.
Here's my thing about the older logos: by today's standards they're certainly bad, but they represent ideas in design from the time they come from. The LA logo is SO 80s, Barcelona and Atlanta are super 90s. They don't work now but I bet they worked well then
Yeah, there's little consideration to the fact that these logos were made based on what was popular at the time. 10-20 years from now all of these logo redesigns that Zimri is doing could easily be ripped apart by someone else, because they won't fit with the style of the times.
It’s okay. It loses the gold medal symbolism. The original logo is a bit whack but it grew on me. Woman (Marianne), flame and gold medal in a logo is actually kinda cool.
The re-imagined 2024 logo is trying too hard to make a point of showing a face compared to the subtleness of the original, which isn't the point. It's lost the whole Art Deco influence and the double-function of the flame encapsulated in a circle, doubling as a vintage hairstyle.
The Atlanta logo is trying to represent a doric column style from ancient Greek! Without the Olympic logo there it lost its meaning. The rest is horrible but that's why the did the column part like in that manner.
technically it'd be a corinthian logo with the olympics logo at the top. yes this is very nitpicky and insignificant, but i'm still glad to know someone else knows what a doric column is XD
The Paris redesign was alright , but I prefer what they already had honestly . It does a good job of working with negative and positive space while showing the woman and the torch. The redesign is just too detailed and when it shrinks down the detail will be lost. This is a big reason logos have become way more simplified .
3:37 Completely DISAGREE. The rings' original placement was to look like the design at the top of a Corinthian or Ionic column. And the 100 looks like the ribbing down the column shaft.
@@ExplosiveLemonz i think second one was better but the first one is definitely cool aswell, i just didn't like the color since it looks faded little bit.
@@AKagNA The second one just kind of gets rid of some of the main ideas of the paris logos, the color and the round aspect of it represent the gold medal which is an iconic part of the olympics, the flame, well you guest it and the woman is supposed to be Marianne who is basically "if France was a person", I just don't think this redesign captures these ideas as well as the original
@@louxy2961 the golden medal thing sounds too tryhard "in my opinion" since you try to squeeze too much detail in one shape but if it does represent Marienne then hell yes it has more meaning and changing the logo would make it lose that meaning but i bet Zimri didn't know it so i can't blame nor him nor the people who liked it. :)
2012 logo was a laughing stock when it was unveiled, I grew to appreciate it as time went on and in hindsight I think it was genius - totally summed up the energy and vibrancy of the games and had a real 'punk' attitude. Everyone though our olympics would be crap but it ended up being one of the best in recent memory. The opening ceremony was one of the best live spectacles I've ever seen on TV
it would be weird to not have the lines. it could be somehow reimagined in a vapourware or whatnot aesthetic, but the stars being red white and blue combined with it being stars and stripes... it would be a war crime to remove them :)
before messing up with the logos, I would recommend you to read their rationals. There's an important reason that the golden star is placed that way and it is "golden"!!
The biggest problem I have this this video is that he does not understand the original logos, so changing the colors in the Barcelona logo looses the idea of the Spanish Flag, the Atlanta looses the idea idea of the colum and the golden star you mentioned, the Paris 2024 regardless of how it looks to him has a lot of symbolism that got lost in his idea of the redesign and I think that's the big issue, he didn't go into why they were designed that way before changing them
I think you made the Montreal one worse. All you has to do was take away the green and give the flame the orange color. After that, you basically undid the pillar for no reason which made it lose it's charm. Paris and L.A. too. You took away the Gold Medal color, Art Deco inspiration and the use of negative space from the former to make a generic fire woman drawing with no cultural significance. And you just decided the U.S. should just be Red and Blue without the white star. I mean, obviously, we shouldn't judge you by the same standard as Olympic tier graphic designers. But you kinda put yourself in that position by assuming you could do better.
Deborah Sussman designed the 1984 Los Angeles logo and was a pioneer in the field. Granted, at the time the logo worked better than it would today. To watch you yank it apart was unsettling at first, but I give you credit for trying to improve it. Would you consider giving credit and saying a brief word or two about the original designer when you do these redesign videos? I love it that you do these, I just think the young talented designers and curious folks watching could benefit from some context.
Guillaume P. isn't that his intention? He mentions in the video that if they want a feminine theme, they should just own it. In fact, that seems to be the trend in his redesigns-bringing the important themes and elements to the forefront of the logo
The redesigned Paris 2024 logo looks so cool. The ear actually looks like the eye and eyebrow of an upside down face so it looks like the logo has two faces. I don’t know if that was on purpose but I love it!
Thank you! I was one of the people in your last video requesting a logo redesign, so thanks! I know you were pressed for time, but I would have loved to see you do a more creative take on each one. For example, what sucks about the original London logo is that it has nothing to do with London. It's almost insulting that for a city so rich in culture and iconography, that the logo is literally just the year of the olympics. I wish you had taken something iconic from London (even at the risk of being cliché) and made an entirely new logo rather than sticking to the original idea of writing 2012. But overall I still really enjoyed your redesigns and thankful you listen to your fans. :)
I think the Paris logo was not just randomly incorporating a woman, but rather making a reference to the Bob hairstyle, one of France’s most iconic fashion contributions. That logo is perfection.
Great job on the Paris one! Also, lol the LA ones look like the Olympics are being hosted in the basement of an 80s tech startup's office building (though yours does a lot less than the original but still has a tiny bit of that feel).
i love it that you explain why you're changing things this or that way (like the hierarchy and so) that's v important for us mere design studants lol but seriously keep doing it. also great work with the paris logo!!
Last video I was totally cinic regarding the Paris logo, but only seeing todays video that I understood the logo's message was for the circle to be the head. Anyway, your redesign looks really empowering for women. Reminds me of X-Men'x Phoenix.
You totally missed the fact the the LA 1986 one, the stars formed an “A’ shape with wings. Which is TOTALLY L.A.! It’s fucking awesome. And you didn’t see it and then destroyed it.
So you removed the green background in Atlanta's logo. Well there you have just one of the variants of the official logo! The Atlanta 1996 Olympic logo was flexible in it's design so that it didn't require the green background on certain applications. In addition to this, it can be displayed in simple black and white or that gold tone colour they chose. It was one of the few aspects of their Olympics they managed to get right.
WOW I was thinking yesterday like wow I miss ZIMRI I need some wholesome design content to soothe my brain AND TODAY I GO TO TH-cam N THERES TWO NEW VIDEOS !!! godBLESS
The Olympic rings act as the capitol of the column in the Atlanta logo. They need to be up top for it to make sense architecturally. The original Paris logo was so elegant. :(
We had a discussion about the London 2012 logo in one of my classes and the tutor made quite an interesting point where he said the design seems to also be inspired by the album covers of the S*x Pistols, they are incredibly iconic to the UK and formed in London in 1975. Apparently they were even invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 games but declined the offer. I just find this quite interesting when I look at the logo now but they really could have made it better while incorporating a slight nod to the band. I always thought the shapes were just abstracts of various parts of the UK, I genuinely never saw the 2012 until you pointed it out 😂😂
This message is from the future...I'm soo glad you're getting back to (or at least have plans to) doing more of these type of design videos. You made my day with these things! 😂 However I DO love seeing the progress on that TAY-HASS house lol (You just can't go 7 months between videos haha) Looking forward to more of your stuff! Also, if I lived near you, we would definitely mix it up on the indoor court. ok peace!
Lol, i never knew the london logo was a 2012. I always thougt it‘s an athlete right before a 100m run. The 12 are the legs, the 2 the arm and the 0 the head. Please tell me I‘m not alone
Yeah man, no one really knows - lots of people say it’s the English isles, while others say it’s the continents of the globe - at this point it could be anything : p hope you’ve had an awesome day Max!
I laughed when he jumped to the southern accent when talking to Georgia about his changes 😜 I loved gymnastics in ATL, it was the first Olympics I remember watching.
London 2012 is a great improvement, love your more androgynous and therefore broadly applicable Paris 2024 face as well, not a fan of your Atlanta 1996 update. First of all yours is even taller proportionally (as tall as the original but narrower) even though you wanted to reduce the height, secondly the rings worked very well in the column, even playing into its recognizability, thirdly the top star being centered and upright and golden has a symbolic meaning of athletes striving towards excellence, you can't just make it crooked and off center, removing one of the other stars is fine albeit it unnecessary but leave the top star where it is, lastly having a bit of a colorway to the flame is fine, granted the original colors look very dated now but there's no need to make it mono colored.
Didn't watch yet but just seen the title and as a french person I was thinking "PLEASE put Paris 2024 in this list" That's all now I will watch. Edit: The problem with the logo in France is that it really reminds the extreme right party which the logo design is a flame, kind of similar. Also you did great with the Marianne making her look more mature and not too girly and anachronic with those small lipsticked lips looking like a cheap hairdresser logo. The idea of a gold medal was too much, (gold medal + marianne + flame were too much signs for one logo indeed..) You could have inverted the whole face/flame so she would kind of look to the future : )
With the Los Angeles one maybe you could just keep one star but make the stripes one level behind it red? So you still get the red blue combo but a lot simpler! I love your redesigns though there's something soo satisfying about it and I love love the Paris one!!
I think you just dont get the Paris 2024 logo. I represents 3 things not 2. Gold medal, Olympic flame and Marianne. Your version is awful. The Paris 2024 logo is one of the best of them.
It's clear he didn't get a design brief that the Paris 2024 logo is supposed to be based on the Art Deco movement. His redesign (as cool as it looks) just screams American 1960s illustration fused with 2020s minimalism
I agree that the Paris one looks off. It's supposed to represent 3 things : - The olympic flame, obviously - Marianne, female symbol of liberty and democracy - An olympic medal (hence the round shape and the golden color) I guess they messed up trying to mix so many symbols into one logo. Yours doesn't incorporate the medal part, and I think it's one of the many directions we could take from the original by trying to simplify it. Good job Zimri !
I’m just guessing but, I think that colours in Barcelona ‘92 are attached to the coastline of Barcelona, and that’s why the arms-line was made yellow and not orange It’s just a theory, idk :-)
Altlanta have the 4 stars and flame so there are 5 aspects to it like the five rings, I would have recoloured them the ring colours, making the 100 bigger was great tho!
They deliberately decided to make the rings in Atlanta's logo one colour end emphasize on the vibrant colours in the stars to showcase the hospitality and warmth of the South.
ahh for the atlanta logo having the 5 flames makes sense since there's 5 rings in the logo of the Olympics. what you could have done is color the flames with the colors of the original olympic logo, and maybe change the size a bit. other than that yours looks nice

Hi Zimri, What programs do you use or recommend to beginners in graphic design?
Atalanta is an interesting thing, because at that time pins and badges were really popular so the main merchandise were pins.
They used gold bases and painted them, so they choose green to help the gold color pop.

I'm shocked there was no font change on the 92 logo.
same, i thought it would be the first thing he'll change
He was off his game
Ye the font was horrible
Serif typefaces were popular at that time, same with drop shadow. It was a logo designed according to the 90s trends.

Color palette aside, the Atlanta one is actually pretty good.
True
All I could think of when I looked at the Atlanta logo was McMansion Hell making fun of the 90s' obsession with forest green.
I was hating the Paris design as you drew it, but my jaw literally dropped when you revealed it.
In Atlanta '96, you forgot that the uppermost star represents perfection. That's why it's in the center and in the right orientation.

The green represents laurel branches worn by winners in ancient times, as well as Atlanta's reputation as the City of Trees.

The London 2012 logo is in the shape of the UK. That’s why it’s not all on the same level.
But I do prefer yours
LOL, just about to write the same...
im a brit and really confused as to how it looks like the shape of the UK... i don't get it :/
@@leeneedsfriends6750 yeah me too
I thought it was meant to be a person carrying the torch...
Oh my word you NAILED the Paris logo. Soooo much better my man! Amazing job.
The Olympic rings act as the capitol of the column in the Atlanta logo. They need to be up top for it to make sense architecturally. The original Paris logo was so elegant. :(
missed your video so much! glad you're back again!
We had a discussion about the London 2012 logo in one of my classes and the tutor made quite an interesting point where he said the design seems to also be inspired by the album covers of the S*x Pistols, they are incredibly iconic to the UK and formed in London in 1975. Apparently they were even invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 games but declined the offer. I just find this quite interesting when I look at the logo now but they really could have made it better while incorporating a slight nod to the band. I always thought the shapes were just abstracts of various parts of the UK, I genuinely never saw the 2012 until you pointed it out 😂😂
Your hat and backpack makes me feel anxious because it's like you're ready to leave at a moment's notice lol
you really made the Paris 2024 logo better. it's what it should be. Looks much more stronger and powerful.
This message is from the future...I'm soo glad you're getting back to (or at least have plans to) doing more of these type of design videos. You made my day with these things! 😂 However I DO love seeing the progress on that TAY-HASS house lol (You just can't go 7 months between videos haha) Looking forward to more of your stuff! Also, if I lived near you, we would definitely mix it up on the indoor court. ok peace!
Lol, i never knew the london logo was a 2012. I always thougt it‘s an athlete right before a 100m run.
The 12 are the legs, the 2 the arm and the 0 the head.
Please tell me I‘m not alone
Yeah man, no one really knows - lots of people say it’s the English isles, while others say it’s the continents of the globe - at this point it could be anything : p hope you’ve had an awesome day Max!
I laughed when he jumped to the southern accent when talking to Georgia about his changes 😜
I loved gymnastics in ATL, it was the first Olympics I remember watching.
London 2012 is a great improvement, love your more androgynous and therefore broadly applicable Paris 2024 face as well, not a fan of your Atlanta 1996 update. First of all yours is even taller proportionally (as tall as the original but narrower) even though you wanted to reduce the height, secondly the rings worked very well in the column, even playing into its recognizability, thirdly the top star being centered and upright and golden has a symbolic meaning of athletes striving towards excellence, you can't just make it crooked and off center, removing one of the other stars is fine albeit it unnecessary but leave the top star where it is, lastly having a bit of a colorway to the flame is fine, granted the original colors look very dated now but there's no need to make it mono colored.
Didn't watch yet but just seen the title and as a french person I was thinking "PLEASE put Paris 2024 in this list"
That's all now I will watch.
Edit: The problem with the logo in France is that it really reminds the extreme right party which the logo design is a flame, kind of similar.
Also you did great with the Marianne making her look more mature and not too girly and anachronic with those small lipsticked lips looking like a cheap hairdresser logo.
The idea of a gold medal was too much, (gold medal + marianne + flame were too much signs for one logo indeed..)
You could have inverted the whole face/flame so she would kind of look to the future : )
With the Los Angeles one maybe you could just keep one star but make the stripes one level behind it red? So you still get the red blue combo but a lot simpler! I love your redesigns though there's something soo satisfying about it and I love love the Paris one!!
Great vid Zim
The Los Angeles 1984 made me pissed. You should've used LA 2028! Smh 🤦♂️
Not gonna lie, your Paris 2024 redesign is... fire... pun intended
Damn! You actualledy nailed that paris 2024 logo Zimri!!!?
Is it just me or the original London 2012 logo is an athlete in lane waiting for the gunshot to start running?
I think you just dont get the Paris 2024 logo. I represents 3 things not 2. Gold medal, Olympic flame and Marianne. Your version is awful. The Paris 2024 logo is one of the best of them.
It's clear he didn't get a design brief that the Paris 2024 logo is supposed to be based on the Art Deco movement. His redesign (as cool as it looks) just screams American 1960s illustration fused with 2020s minimalism
Rate winter olympics logos next
The Atlanta logo without the teal background was perfect. You could have stopped there
Zimri, if you jumped off a cliff into an underwater civilization of capybara, I would jump too
I agree that the Paris one looks off. It's supposed to represent 3 things :
- The olympic flame, obviously
- Marianne, female symbol of liberty and democracy
- An olympic medal (hence the round shape and the golden color)
I guess they messed up trying to mix so many symbols into one logo. Yours doesn't incorporate the medal part, and I think it's one of the many directions we could take from the original by trying to simplify it. Good job Zimri !
His version is like vegeta
The changes to the atlanta logo were so good but it looked better with the rings in the handle
"It's not bad I just need a little... shaping, to the redesign"😂😂😂
Not gonna lie, but the Paris logo got like 100x better
Great work, Zimri! 😀😀
How do you have editing capabilities Of the logos?
I’m just guessing but, I think that colours in Barcelona ‘92 are attached to the coastline of Barcelona, and that’s why the arms-line was made yellow and not orange
It’s just a theory, idk :-)
Altlanta have the 4 stars and flame so there are 5 aspects to it like the five rings, I would have recoloured them the ring colours, making the 100 bigger was great tho!
They deliberately decided to make the rings in Atlanta's logo one colour end emphasize on the vibrant colours in the stars to showcase the hospitality and warmth of the South.
sick yo, love your vids!
The name Aaron Draploff has gotten the "Clap on, clap off" song stuck in my head
ahh for the atlanta logo having the 5 flames makes sense since there's 5 rings in the logo of the Olympics. what you could have done is color the flames with the colors of the original olympic logo, and maybe change the size a bit. other than that yours looks nice
should have ended with thank you for coming to my ted talk
Damn that Paris olympic redesign are lit!
