I disagree. What you described was every Olympic logo thrown into your own idea of what it typically resembles. Take another look at rio. (intentional mis-capitalization) The text alone breaks the mold. The logo is simple and elegant. (Only 3 colors are used) Also, each design’s “obscure graphic symbol thing” usually holds some significance relative to that particular country and their culture. While perhaps they aren’t as “imaginative” as London ‘12, they surely deserve recognition. (they aren’t chosen to represent a country for being lame) Anyway, love rio and stoked for S. America’s first games.

I’m not concerned with who receives the money spent by consumers on gasoline. Most of us rely on it to get from place to place, despite it’s argued “unfair” price. If I had to pay $5 a gallon, I can’t say no. In the end, we will always lose the battle with the oil companies and gas stations. It’s almost pointless to complain. If you don’t like paying for gas, don’t own a car that requires it. There are many alternative energy sources developed for use in place of gasoline. P.S. Bikes are fun, too!
