The way the Olympics are going at the moment, Melbourne would do quite well I think and not leave behind a lot of mess like Rio etc. We have a lot of the required stadium infrastructure already and in decent nick (upgrades would be required of course) so it shouldn't cost a stupid amount. Main thing is a village.

If what I read was correct, it's a powerplay by Shepparton. They are the key stakeholder in this bid, and they propose getting a new stadium out of it so they can host the Aths. Isn't there an already built stadium that they could have the Ceremony and Aths; Kardinia could work as the venue, and move the seven elsewhere.
They could also use Eureka Stadium

I wouldn't touch the Olympics with a fifty-foot pole these days. CGs maybe, for the right price.

Should not happen. At all.
Will be a terrible experience for tourists who come over to see the Games having to travel hundreds of KMs to see different events.
Keep it in the one city.

Disagree. Carlton is a club with enough history to get away with it. No worse than Brisbane having a different lion on their jumper and logo, or Geelong having a professional and general logo.
Where did that idea come from????????
Didn't know what you meant, only legit saw it in one of your portfolios just then. GMTA

You do know this was mocked up a year before you were around, yeh?

While I disagree with the inconsistency, we don't really have any other option, unless we were to redo the logo entirely to match THAT monogram.. It's too bulky and not refined enough for a logo..

The one KDY2 posted fits quite nicely

It just doesn't look as classy as the other one. The extra stuff around the modern CFC was made to fit with that, so we would need another version to fit with the heritage one..

The monogram on the jumper is just that, the best the knitters could do way back when. It isn't an official logo, but a handmade attempt at what the logo looked like.

In what way is it pathetic? This is the Commonwealth games we're talking about, the average crowd size is about 2. If it was held in Melbourne, no one would give two shits. This will give a bit of a boost to regional economies, it doesn't hurt anyone.
The Commonwealth Games is the third biggest multi sporting event in the world behind the Olympics and the Asian Games. It is massive for everyone that has the games. With the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games- tickets are going to be red hot even in a 40,000 seat Metricon Stadium. If there is a MAJOR stadium only hosting 10,000 at tops then the games wont be able to to get the most fans as possible to come.

It's been a long journey for the AGL logo.

New Rice Owls logo. I'm a big fan of the Owl head, but I can't understand how they've come to the decision that plonking that head on the body of a completely different bird is anywhere near acceptable. It's an anatomical nightmare that one.

Before. (Very very classy.)
Very unclassy. (AKA the after logo.)
No wonder it looked familiar to me.
