Very contemporary design, it's not traditional lor...so maybe not easy to "love at first sight".
Btw, I found the Royal Canadian Mint often has "better" design.
I like this one: http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/20 ... ake-2009-prod670002作者: 布小熊 時間: 2009-10-15 10:27

The "landscape-inspried curvatures" make the medal look like it is a scrap piece of deformed metal that was involved with some sort of serious car or melt-down accident, and is completely twisted out of shape.
The Torino medals and the Beijing medals were really nice. But this one... Ugh!

Obviously, when talking about arts, some people likes them but some people don't. 作者: mcjohnjohn 時間: 2009-10-15 22:45
Lik, they could look uglier if they were designed by ME...
By the way, they are not ugly. Maybe, I saw too much ugly things in several threads in LYK... 作者: 開心人 時間: 2009-10-15 23:26
I dont' understand why people think they are ugly... i think they look very nice and contemporary.
The application of native motifs are more unique and less tacky than the maple leaf, the fluidity in the form echoes snowy slopes and water surface.. it is very west coast... it is also inline with the current VANOC graphics.作者: b06 時間: 2009-10-16 18:44
ahm, how much is the gold medal worth at the current metal prices? I head it's 500gm so about 17oz.
I like the concept of each medal forming a part of a mosaic of orcas and ravens. I'm not sure about the wavey form at the beginning but the more I look at it the more I like it.作者: Nam 時間: 2009-10-16 22:44
I think it's not bad wor!
I like the front better than the back medals..
個人覺得做得唔錯!感覺好新鮮,無咁老套!
但後面的而且確幾似爛咗嘅垃圾桶蓋嘅!
But generally speaking, I still like the design.
