Olympic motivation


Anyone else notice the pictograms for the 2008 Summer Olympics? No, only me? I love the aesthetic of the newest batch of pictograms that represent the different sporting events. With each Olympics, the pictograms are updated with a fresh look and the Beijing designs are so clean, simple, and artistic.

The Olympic coverage has been a lifesaver for me during the past week. I've been working very late nights and I'm so glad that I had all these world-class athletes keeping me company in the wee hours. And talk about motivation! If Michael Phelps can go for gold EIGHT times, surely I can endure one more hour of scoring and folding place cards? :)
