Mascot of the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014

[Михпет]

I, Michael Veremenko, architect, designer, artist, teacher. Learned about the competition at the Olympic mascot. (Here's a link to this contest: http://talisman.sochi2014.com/rules_short/). I want to share some thoughts on the matter. I have to say, I myself decided to take part in this competition. Just work the plan I was interested in, and experience in these things I have - I was the winner in the contest for the mascot of the Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow in 1985 in Moscow, "Katyusha".
Depressing fact that when such an important contest for the country, ruled out the possibility of participation of these professionals. How? It is very simple, according to the rules of the contest man, holding his sketch for the competition, obliged to accept the fact that the author - the winner signs a separate agreement with the organizer on the alienation of copyright for creative work. That is, the money will get someone else. For the victory, as organizers promise, the author will receive a certificate for two tickets to the opening of the Olympics. Such an approach to competition leads to what is already two weeks leading eerie blue monster with a ski pole in the mouth with a crown on his head and with the Olympic circles in the eyes of the name ZOICH. Do we have a mascot?

Which country, so will the character. Knowing the opinions of foreigners about our country, they were very surprised if there will be no bottle of vodka. Although ZOICH just gives the impression of unsporting, and alcohol. The Crown reminds me of the British, although maybe I'm wrong.

Winter, what is surprising?

In the subtropics, where the average January temperature is +5,7 ° C, Winter Olympics hold no surprise?

Misha Galustyan (my former neighbor) on this poster is very nice symbolizes the collective image of a certain part of the city's population. Would be quite cute and exotic charm. Most of Sochi residents against such objections will not.
Well, this talisman will be either a bear or a dolphin or a snow leopard.
