Fun stuff. Inspired by the snow drifts of Whistler? I like the graphics and braille on the paralympic ones.
It almost looks like Canada has designers. Somebody needs this to stop!
They were probably designed by an American company 
I heard that every medal is unique. No 2 medals have the same graphics, etc.
Nope! -all designed here in Vancouver. (for once!)
The ID is by Vancouver based industrial designer Omer Arbel and the artwork is from Corrine Hunt.
check out Omer’s other stuff here:
And Corrine’s work here:
why are they wavy? Left on the radiator?
they should have left them in the mold longer so they wouldnt warp
lol
here’s a short video doc about the design of the medals, pretty neat in my books!
Made of recycled computer parts… looks pretty cool, like the rounded-square one.
for those that can’t make it in Vancouver, here’s the official video that they show in loop at the Canadian Mint pavilion about the medals. I saw them in person (displayed at the pavilion), they were twice as big as I originally expected. The square ones are the Paralympic’s version, I kind of like those better.
Anyone know the typeface they’re using on everything? LOVE IT.
Apparently a custom face made from an existing one:
