An Aside - Vancouverian Olympian - say it three times fast

The design of the Olympic medals for the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010 was just revealed with artwork by Corrie Hunt and designed by Omer Abel. The form of the medal itself was inspired by "ocean waves, drifting snow and moutainous landscapes found across Canada>" (Design Boom) The medals were based off of a large artwork of an Orca whale. Each medal depicts a section of the artwork. Each medalist will be presented with a silk-screened scarf of the original artwork along with their medal, seeing how their medal is connected to all the other athletes in the Olympic Games.
