The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver unveiled its logo recently:
QUOTE
The Vancouver 2010 emblem is named ILANAAQ - the Inuit word for friend.
... a contemporary interpretation of the traditional inukshuk, a stone sculpture used by Canada's Inuit people as directional landmarks across the northern Canadian lands of snow and ice. Over time, the inukshuk has become a representation of hope, friendship and an external expression of the hospitality of a nation that warmly welcomes the people of the world with open arms. The distinctive formations are found across the country - from coastlines to mountaintops, from small towns to large cities - in a variety of styles.
