VANOC really does not need any more mascots!!!

This morning VANOC unveils its two mascots. WHY. We already have an Olympic Winter Games logo that can easily be dubbed/work as a couple mascots. Like Chuck (Inukchuk), Gumby just to name two. And VANOC thanks for choosing a logo that did not follow your own design logo guidelines. "Sea to Sky, winter games, motion, capturing the essence in bringing together olympians into a global arena". Now it is time for us designers who entered your rigged design logo contest to strike back! Thank you so much for selecting a religious/spiritual symbol that has absolutely no connections to any sporting event winter or otherwise! But what I do like about it (a definite shortsightedness on your part VANOC) is it has an "open mouth begging for satirical comment" On behalf of all artists who entered your logo design contest thank you for opening "Gumby's" - I mean "Chuck's" mouth!
We will feast off your tunnel vision and lack of creative Olympian design...Back to the drawing board.
