Chicago Forced to Change Olympic Bid Logo

by Winnie McCarthy

The city of Chicago is being forced by the International Olympic Committee to change its official bid logo because it presently looks too much like the Olympic torch. Apparently the IOC prohibits the use of any Olympic imagery in logos by cities attempting to receive an Olympic bid.

This is disappointing because I liked the clever way in which the flame looked like the Chicago skyline. Hopefully they will come up with something just as good, but IOC-legal. Do any of our readers have any suggestions for new ideas? For all of your Chicago Olympic bid information, head over to Chicago 2016.
