Personally I'm not a fan of the art, looks like my eye sight when I have a migraine. But I like that they are heavy, and that they have a traditional shape. That said, if I won one, I wouldn't complain about the back art, at all. At least they don't look like Turin's donuts.

If you see any additional links related to cultural festivals, architectural design of new buildings for the games, or other aesthetic matters, please post in this thread.
