Design Site Might Have New Sochi Logo
With the launch of a new logo for Sochi 2014 just days away, a U.S.-based blog on graphic design could be playing the role of a spoiler.
Idsgn.org has published a design which it suggests might be the new logo.
Sochi 2014 CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko has seen the purported logo but in an email to Around the Rings he says the design published was "surely one of the options submitted but the result you will see on 30th".
The real logo will be unveiled Nov. 30 in a ceremony at Red Square in Moscow with Russian leaders Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin on hand, along with IOC President Jacques Rogge.
The new logo is the result of months of design work and approvals by the IOC.
Around the Rings understands that the logo launch will somehow include the participation of the International Space Station orbiting Earth.
The logo launch will be carried live via the internet.
Third Peace and Sport Conference Starts
The third annual Peace and Sport conference started Wednesday. Peace and Sport gathers world leaders, NGOs, and other individuals to find ways to use sport to promote peace.
Lasting through Friday, the conference will take place in Monaco.
More than 400 people from 80 countries are expected attend. The major theme for this year’s conference is "how to promote and encourage policies and grassroots initiatives that, through sport, aim to relieve social tension and the consequences of conflict in the world."
Peace through sport is organized under the patronage of Prince Albert, the IOCmember from Monaco. He will be joined by some of his colleagues from the IOC, including Thomas Bach Sergey Bubka, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, and Mohamed Mzali.
International Cycling Union president Pat MacQuaid, and Jean-Edouard Baker, President of the Haitian Olympic Committee are some of the other leaders of the Olympic movement scheduled to attend.
For the first time, the Forum is organized in partnership with the United Office for Partnerships, the UN Office for Sport at the service of Development and Peace, and with the press agency Agence France-Presse.
The next Peace and Sport Conference will be held in Sochi in 2012.
"Held in the Olympic host city, the event will reconfirm our commitment for supporting the ideals and values of the Olympic Movement and will result in an increased awareness of and cooperation for the ideals of the peace and sport" said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Kozak.
