Very blessed that people want to hear me talk about design and trivia nonsense.

@Graham_LRR I loved having it on in the background as I painted!

Also the Sarajevo wolf jingle will live in my head rent free forever.

@Graham_LRR SARAJEVOOOOOOOO
@kilnfiendpotter I love him more now.
Apparently it’s pronounced more like “VOOCH-ko”.

@Graham_LRR That makes sense!

Apparently Boston was in the running for the Olympics for 2024, and the city was like NOPE.

San Francisco had also been bidding on a North America spot, and JFC I'm glad it got passed over.

@Graham_LRR What are your thoughts on the logo?

( I have thoughts, but yours are more entertaining.)

@kilnfiendpotter I currently have no earthly idea what this is supposed to be.

I THINK it’s a wreath of laurels but so simplified as to be unrecognizable, rendering it utterly bland.
It’s a nice ENOUGH polygonal horseshoe, but why is that their logo?

Ultimately, not a fan.

@Graham_LRR @kilnfiendpotter To me it slots directly into the NFT/Crypto logo oeuvre. Maybe an Ingress clone game logo.

@Texan_Reverend @Graham_LRR oh JFC can you imagine an Olympics crypto/NFT scheme?

"Now YOU can own this gold medal moment - FOREVER - on the block chain!"

@kilnfiendpotter @Graham_LRR I can...and I did not like it.
