Cloud of Promise for 2008

The design for the 2008 Olympic torch has been recently unveiled by the organizing committee and of the designs sent in from different sources, China-based Lenovo known for producing notebooks in particular the thinkPads, got the cake. The design is basically called the Cloud of Promise and sports a red-themed design with cloud swirls on the upper half (as best as I can describe it).

According to the article posted on the Lenovo website (click on the title to view it), the inspiration for the design was the traditional Chinese scroll.

What I think is a nice thing to this design is that the design effort was also a collaborative task done by people around the world.

Personally, I think it looks nice. Not too flashy, not dull either.
