  The Vancouver Olympic spirit created a wave of tie-ins and promotional products but this one was part of the unlicensed type. Forgot to post this at the time.

  The IOC(r) will, no doubt, be outraged at this misuse of the Olympic(r) symbol.

  Not because, you know, it’s an illegal drug, but because the producer didn’t license the image.

  I check this website at WORK, and was pretty surprised to find ecstasy pills featured on here…
  I’m just curious though… As I am a graphic designer myself, what is creative about putting an olympic logo on an ecstasy pill?
  Plus, these could reference ANY Olympics. Maybe if there was a Canadian flag I could understand… Actually no. I couldn’t even understand then. I’m not really sure these pills should be here.

  I think what’s interesting about this, is that they were produced in Vancouver during the Olympics, and for those who don’t know, Vancouver has a prevalent drug scene. Like it or not, these are products, designed in Canada. As is typical with many posts here on the CDR, there are no judgments being made – after all, the resource is all about design in Canada: good, bad, ugly, conservative and controversial.

  Peter Laws’ point, however, is most probably bang on!
