We've got Samsung being rammed down our throats everywhere we turn. Worst of all is the female wheelchair curler, who looks like she is either psycho or seriously depressed. I will be glad never to see blue and green together again. I work at the airport and I am sick, sick, sick of the overwhelming, overbearing 2010 graphic plague.

Every time I see one of these graphics - and they are everywhere now - I just cringe. There's also the 2010 logo, which I didn't show here but will include in another post. It's an Inuit inukshuk sacrilegiously made into a cartoon person, without any acknowledgement of the fact the Inukshuk has little to do with Vancouver or even British Columbia other than that there's one downtown. Not a shred of critical thinking or design sense has gone into these games, from start to finish. The 3 furry mascots are a lot better, I admit, but they too play fast and loose with quasi-faux-First Nations mythology, and I'd take the Montreal 76 Amik beaver mascot over them any day.
