Prague Changes 2016 Bid Logo At Request Of IOC


From bidgames.com:
Prague’s bid logo for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games has been changed as requested by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Prague Mayor Pavel Bem and Czech Olympic Committee chairman Milan Jirasek unveiled the official logo on September 4, which consisted of green numbers in the year 2016 shaped like a laurel branch as a symbol of victory. But the IOC requested that the year’s numbers be written under the branch next to the name of the city, said Karel Tejkal, a spokesman for Prague’s bid committee.

He said the new version of the logo, consisting of the laurel branch with Prague 2016 written underneath as requested, was approved by the IOC in a letter signed by Jacques Rogge, President of the IOC.
