Olympic medals.?!

[kokanee_68]

To my eye, these look like they were designed by a committee rather than by an artist with a vision.. they look cheap and uninspired.. an afterthought.?

2006 Olympics sponsored by lifesavers?.. a cock ring?.. perhaps AOL disks?

I guess we all see different things.

They are washers that have fallen out of Italian cars collected by school children throughout Italy over the last four years.

I don't mind that they look different. They kinda look like basketball's with holes cut out of them.

Or just plain ugly?

This is Italy home of some of the greatest designers on planet earth. Whether it be high fashion like Armani and Versace or the great Ferrari designer Giorgetto Giugiaro i would like to think that someone in Italy could have come up with a better medal than this. I appreciate that the designer wanted to take it to another level but in its simplicity it shows no imagination.
