Beautiful logo!
Especially impressive that they got the flame, a gold medal, and a feminine silhouette in there.

Judging it as a woman, it doesn't look like any depiction of Marianne I've ever seen. Judging it as a flame, it feels weirdly static. Judging it as a gold medal, it neither looks like gold nor does it bear any of the hallmark ornamental elements of a prize medal. Three swings, three misses.
The concept is neat, but sacrificing at least one of the three ambigram angles of the design would have given them much more room to explore the remainder.
Ultimately I don't think it successfully captures anything about the identity of Paris or even France in general.
EDIT: Also, Marianne is sometimes depicted with laurels (an extremely common element in medal design) in her hair. Their inclusion could have very strongly reinforced both the medal and Marianne angles without conflicting with the flame angle at all. Big whiff.

Awesome logo, perfect for Paris
Is it a knee jerk reaction to shit on Olympic logo reveals? People have mocked them as far back as I can remember.
London DOES suck though

Wow. I remember laughing at it at the time, but now I kind of like it?Basically any logo is good compared to the London 2012 one.
Eiffel Tower with the custom font would be my favorite but the new logo isn't bad, just kinda...boring? The custom font is probably my favorite thing from the new reveal though.
Holy fuck I forgot about that one lmaoBasically any logo is good compared to the London 2012 one.
Personification of the attempts by the French public to free themselves from monarch control, or you know Rachel-from-Friends bob-haircut and lipstick.
The paralympic games. The logo was made for both olympic and paralympic games.
Not impressed at all personally, the Eiffel Tower logo was a hundred times better.
This manages to affront all of my senses, including smell.Basically any logo is good compared to the London 2012 one.
Affectionately known as "Simpsons porn"Basically any logo is good compared to the London 2012 one.
Athens 2004 remains the best, classy and simple without trying to be edgy. Beijing 2008 is also a good one.

Just so we are on the same page does anyone else here see someone receiving a happy ending in this image?
The '98 rooster owns wtfAs a French, I have to say I like the fact that Marianne is used as a symbol rather than the Eiffel tower (which *is* boring) or that fucking horrible rooster we used for the 1998 world cup
I mean seriously
Brasil 2014 is a man doing a facepalm. Like Brasil fan in that World Cup.
Italy and France in 1998 were the best roster. Italy's attack has something like 1800 career goals. There were some young players who later won in 2002, some old veterans from 1994 and even Bergomi who won in 1982.
