Use the Olypic logo at your peril.

Before some of us get all OLYMPIC minded and display various Olympic logos in our car windows etc, or even in our Avatars perhaps we should read this?

It is all laid down in this link.

Why on earth anybody would want to use that poor excuse of a logo is beyond me

[d9f1c7]

I love the logo and display it with pride.

I've posted before expressing some irritation at the way the IOC have tied up the Games so completely for the corporate sponsors?

All the talk about benefit to the Nation is complete rot. The rights are so tightly controlled, you will not be allowed to benefit unless you are a main sponsor.

I was therefore amused to see that, although Adidas have paid £100m to be a sponsor, a Twitter poll revealed that the brand the public most associate with the Olympics is Nike (who are not a sponsor).

[joggerjayne]

Sorry, I meant the Olympic Organising Committee, not the IOC.

No doubt it will be OK for us to stump up the money to pay for this fiasco

[joggerjayne]

It would be mischievous and inappropriate to keep printing the words NIKE and OLYMPICS together.

It might reinforce the mistaken belief that NIKE are an OLYMPIC SPONSOR.

This would undermine the efforts to exclude non sponsors, and small businesses.

So remember, NIKE aren't an OLYMPIC SPONSOR.

NIKE don't use the OLYMPIC LOGO.

When you see OLYMPICS, don't THINK NIKE.

Oh, ps ...

what's Nike?

[Davethedog]

The only thing I would do with the logo is wipe my a%$£ with it.

Whats that you say JJ - NIKE not OLYMPICS sponser

[d9f1c7]

Nike is the greek god of sport

[Zeuhl]

Goddess of Victory surely

[joggerjayne]

Absolutely.

NIKE and the OLYMPICS







shouldn't be mentioned together.

[joggerjayne]

My last two pairs of running shoes have been Asics, and Saucony ...

... but they didn't seem to feature very much in the poll.

[Zeuhl]

The unscrupulous will attempt to piggy back the olympics for their own commercial advantage.

It's natural for the owners of the Brand to protect it.

[Davethedog]

JJ didn't NIKE do an OLYMPIC shoe?

[Baldric]

Goddess of Victory = Nike

[d9f1c7]

Do you think they'll be disallowing my avatar then?

[joggerjayne]

NIKE also sponsor some top Olympians, like Mo Farah (s)

[Davethedog]

d9f1c7 why should anyone dissallow your avatar.

If you want to display Lisa Simpson giving a BJ thats up to you.

[Haggisdj]

Not the only reason to use it at your peril... you wouldn't want it to offend amyone lol
