Last week, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic Games revealed the designs for the gold, silver, and bronze Olympic Medals, and it turns out they have a geeky touch. The medals, designed by Canadian artists, are made from recycled materials from used electronics — 6.8 metric tons of circuit board diverted from landfills.
The medals are the first to feature a curved design, and are individually laser etched — no two are the same. I love the Olympics even more now!

I like them. I know a lot of people are complaining about the curved design but I like how it makes them unique. They are much better then the Olympic toke, I mean torch this year.
1Those are pretty cool. I like the modern design to it.
2I wish I would have at least tried out for a curling team now. Those medals are awesome!
3They're beautiful! I can't believe anyone would complain: they're new while being clasic.
4Wow, love these!

6The ribbons were designed by Aritzia-- a Vancouver based clothing store that's starting to open up in the USofA!
