Interpretation of the London Olympic mascot

the London Olympic Organizing Committee announced to the public, the mascot of the 2012 London Olympics . As soon as he appeared , Winrock and Mandeville weird mascot of " Cyclops , " a style would attract controversy .

Inspired by the shape of the two mascots from the construction of Olympic venues in London , on a steel column dripping down the root of the molten steel , the head of the yellow light from the iconic London black taxi . Winrock wearing Olympic rings friendship bracelet color , Mandeville wore wrist stopwatch . Their big eyes are the camera , used to " capture " the person they met , the places .

Compared with the previous Olympic mascots , the number of warm Locke and Mandeville seemed to be somewhat eccentric , They look like ill-prepared on the thinking of people who really have no small impact. Although the London Olympic Organizing Committee has repeatedly stressed that the mascot is full of the imagination, unfortunately, people seem to really like them really small . In particular, people do not buy it is in London , due to unsatisfactory design of the mascot , and many people on the British designer of London published a very sharp criticism.

According to the London Olympic Organizing Committee 's view , the two mascots are designed for children . London Olympic Organizing Committee has deliberately arranged the mascot to the UK and a local primary school children to interact with the result, the two sides is very embarrassing , most children only had one eye that the lack of affinity for the mascot , or even " some people cold . "

As we all know , the Athens Olympic mascots have caused a great time at the advent of the dispute , many people think that Athena was made a "Bigfoot "is difficult to understand . London Olympic Games emblem , landmark building , " Tower of London , " London Olympic Games promotional film that were once part of the public can not accept ... ... turns out to be thin ring of fat swallow , difficult to reach. This is currently being endured the test of people's tongues , just spent thousands of pounds out of the mascot design excels it is there ?

Has been involved in the design of the 2008 Beijing Olympic mascots Fuwa Tsinghua University ( Technology ) Academy of Fine Arts Visual Communication Design Department deputy Ren Chennan that this mascot and symbol of the London Olympic Games , overall API , and conducted the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games 8 minutes show the style is uniform . Big Ben London Olympics is not obvious , like the British Round Table Knights of traditional cultural symbols , but to rock music , football and other popular elements presented to the public . This mascot is the " avant-garde , abandoned the traditional " use of the " new language. "

Winrock and Mandeville may not like the mascot of the 1972 Munich Olympics , " Waldi dogs " and the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games mascot " Misha Bear " as popular , but that does not like the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games mascots "Izzy " as was widely considered to be flop. There designers recommendations from people not try to direct him to see on the mascot of British characteristics , its subtlety lies in their origin - Molten Steel on behalf of the United Kingdom made the largest contribution to the world : industrial civilization . Some supporters believe that the British out of the past Olympic Games, state representative with the mascot of the frame to do biological species , can be viewed as a meaningful change. In addition , the two look a little weird mascot has a star on the network , become the focus of the discussion the majority of users now have appeared on the network users using the image processing technology for the mascot design new look. Some people may see that this mascot is successful because they not only attract the eye and reach the purpose of rapid dissemination , but also provides a creative space for people .

Whether people like it or not , warm Locke and Mandeville have become the mascot is an established fact . London Olympic Committee , the more important may not be dealing with disputes, but to ensure that the mascot of the market . It is understood that sales of the mascot -related products will be fully launched in July this year , the London Organizing Committee of the profit goal is 15 million pounds , while the mascot design for the British Iris creative company expects it will bring up to 70 million Pound profits.

London Olympic Mascot API " Made in China " dissatisfied with the British local companies

British media has recently exposed material , said the London 2012 Olympic mascot Wenlock and Mandeville animated videos from Beijing Crystal Digital Technology Co., Ltd. designed and manufactured , the company served as the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, some of Animation production work , even this group is also the mascot of the sample model is the "Made in China . " The news caused uproar in the United Kingdom , British animation company was very angry and puzzled , and accused the London Olympic Committee against the Olympic spirit .

London 2012 mascot animated videos have been the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the evening program "The One Show" in the play . Children's story writer迈克尔莫尔Pougaud prepared for the mascot of the production process of a lively and interesting story: The workers are the construction of steel plant for the Olympic venues to work hard , baked in the steel column moment , two drops of molten steel fell on the ground . Older workers, the two cooling solidification of the steel is picking home , carved into two big eyes and long with a wizard , the London Olympic mascot was born. Animation is not only the propaganda produced by high-tech means , there is a unique design.

It is reported that , in order to save the British animation industry , has produced a well-known animated " Wallace & Gromit "and" Little Architects Babu " The Aardman Animation has launched an accusation against this criticism campaign . British critics have said that Britain could have produced a higher technology works , but local businesses do not have access to this valuable opportunity .

Lobby claims that the British animation studio , animation production and sample model will create opportunities for foreign companies to do much because in the United Kingdom are not entitled to tax relief policy. Many experts believe that "Made in China " caused controversy will continue.

London Olympic mascot design was critical to meet the official said that only children

according to foreign sources , when the London 2012 Olympic Games emblem was published three years ago , the UK on the design of their strange puzzle -like disdain for this week three , the Olympic mascot officially released , the organizers strongly To avoid the recurrence of similar criticisms , but proved to be the voice of criticism of the more intense .

"Look , I do not know what to say. Olympic mascots often become the laughing stock , but two mascots , ah , looks like such a ridiculous level to push a new level . " said a London public . The two weird there is still a complex image of the background behind the story is a children's author wrote it. The story explains why the two mascots have only one eye (on behalf of the camera lens used to capture things in the world ) , why there is light yellow overhead lights (on behalf of the iconic London taxi ), but not clearly explained Why are these two guys look like Pixar films often appear steel scrap . And, in fact , the publisher can explain these details for me to feel more strange things . Why the left with a guy like oven mitts ? Where their feet ? Is this design is a metaphor to express we can not escape the meaning of global warming ?

The official mascot for the children involved in the design of deeply proud , This is one to be accepted, because this design is indeed like a second-year pupils in class work . Locke and Mandeville two mascots paper looks like an integrated proposal for each child . "They should be only one eye ! " "If they karate , I shall be extremely cool ! "" I want them to fly ! " There is no filter designer to accept these views , the London mascot design is simply too complex To be added .

Naturally, the official will argue that the mascot for the children , not adults designed to convince kids to buy them a lot of adults with the so-called mascot of licensed merchandise . But this argument is also untenable . In order to meet the child and can not be a reason for mediocre design . As mentioned above, Pixar 's movies but also to cater to the tastes of children , but they are also able to make adult films resonate .

The name comes from the Wenlock Shropshire is located in the Marche • Wenlock Village, the 19th century, there have been held Wenlock Games , which inspired the modern Olympic Games Pierre de Coubertin was inspired to create . Paralympic Games in specially set up the hospital, there was the name of Mandeville . Although both characters in the novel like Tolkien , but two names pretty well , and this is the only mascot who embodies the characteristics of the local United Kingdom .

London 2012 Olympic Organizing Committee for the reason to explain the design of the mascot , also released a special video . But do not know why , only make it look more alien to the mascot .
