What do you think of the logo for the Winter 2010 Olympics in Vancouver?

Here is a link to the 2010 Olympics logo:

Personally, I love it! The Inukshuk represents safe journeys, friendship and always finding your way home. I can think of no better representation of the Olympic Games. To read more about the Inukshuk history go here:

So what do you think of the 2010 Logo?

Update:

Bob, Yes, the logo represents many landmarks. If you click on the links I provided, you will see and get the history behind the "Inukshuk". For the Olympics, the emblem was colorized. On the top of Whistler Mountain where events are to be held, is an enormous one.

Update 2:

Sufwax, I did like the medals awarded in Beijing. The idea of adding Jade to them was pretty cool. But, I happen to love the color green. :)

    I love it too. The Inukshuk is very beautiful. I love the Olympics. I am so excited for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. What about you? What did you think abou the medals at Beijing? Did you like them as much as the ones in the past?

    It is better than some other recent Olympic logos, like the 2008 Beijing logo, it looks like something a 2 year old could draw, I don't give a rats a$s about the symbolism..

    THis one is more accurate for Beijing: http://heady.co.uk/rm/beijing_2008_3000.gif.

    It is a hundred times better than the 2012 London Logo.
