New Apolyton Logo

[Skanky Burns]

Whats up with that? When did it change?
Can any polytubbies make a better version?

Stay tuned to this thread to find out.

Don't they have to do with the Olympics?

[alva]

Like it.

[Kuciwalker]

It's weird.

[Apocalypse]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's olympics. We could have an Olympics forum style if Markos ever told me what I need to do to create some for him.

[Kuciwalker]

I don't see the connection to the Olympics (except the obvious temporal one).

I shake my head at the creepy Olympic mascots.

[Bloody Monk]

Those odd looking 'life forms' are official Olympic logo/mascot things. Must be a Greek thing.

Phevos and Athena are brother and sister and the official ATHENS 2004 Mascots. Their creation was inspired by an ancient Greek doll and their names are linked to ancient Greece. And yet the two siblings are children of modern times.

The names of two Olympian gods: Phevos, name of the Olympian god of light and music, known as Apollo. Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of the city of Athens.

In this way, Phevos and Athena represent the link between Greek history and the modern Olympic Games.

Phevos and Athena represent the values of Olympism: participation, brotherhood, equality, cooperation, fair play.

Athena and Phevos are two dolls. They remind us of the pleasure of indulging in games; they highlight that the value of participation is higher than that of victory.

At the same time, they are brother and sister, a boy and a girl, symbols of equality and brotherhood around the world. Above all, the two children showcase the everlasting Greek value of human scale and remind us that humanity was, is and will remain at the heart of the Olympic Games.

better than the typical "happy animal"

Ah, a guy in a dutch-orange t-shirt.
Thanks for the support, greek!

Thank you Markos, for removing the blight on our favourite site internet hang-out.

* duke really wants to use the word blight, as it perfectly sums up his feelings about the sucky glove puppet things, but doesn't like the fact that it rhymes with site. Oh well.
