Yeah the idea is nice, but the design itself is rather bad. It reminds me of a fairy instead of an angel. So much actually that I hadn't even made the link yet between the logo and Los Angeles.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a bit more of a feathery wing look (like SlickShoesRUCrazy said), and it'd be nice if the feet looked a little less like a mermaid tail, but overall I really like it.
How is the LA one not cliche? It is literally a picture of a generic angel. It is like if the Paris one was just effiel tower clipart.

It's good to see gradients being used a lot
a few weeks ago I designed a logo for Copenhagen Gay Pride 2016 that also used gradients^^
Weirdly enough gradients get a bad rep. Like a bad 80s look, but I find it pleasing to look atxD

How is it a generic angel? It's clearly an Olympic athlete with wings. A generic angel would have robes and a halo. And how would that be cliche anyway? Angels are rarely used to represent LA.
They get a bad rap because there were a lot of people using them poorly when computers first made it easy to do so. It's the same for many things.

The LA one is really cool because the sun is a gold medal over the angel/athlete's chest. But I feel the other features are taking attention away from it, maybe it is because it is half way between geometrical shapes and a human silhouette. Looks like a big logo with tiny details, like all the elements wouldn't be noticeable if printed small.
Ehhhh.....stuff like this happens all the time. I doubt it was stolen from these guys.
Then Paris fucked up, that one is excellent.
I hope France get it for the design alone. It's just so clean, and smooth. It's really easy on the eyes. That Roma one is just...wow.
Why on earth didn't they cross over the top of the 4??
The Eiffel Tower even already has that second bridging!

Because the 2 would have become unreadable.

Not really. That logo is giving me seizures.
Why couldn't they? Lawsuit from Whataburger?

The thing is, that logo won't be all over the city. It's the candidate city logo, not the 2024 Olympics logo.
See for example what happened in 2012:
The US could host the Olympics every two years and not experience any economic harm from it. We already have the facilities and infrastructure. It's places that have to build all that stuff up that really struggle.
I think because LA originally lost the bid for US host city to Boston. (Boston then pulled out citing the costs of the event.)

Alright, let the bidding wars commence, who can launder the most money in IOC officials pockets?

That Paris logo reminds of Jupiter's astrological sign. It looks really sleek.

Wow what? Where is the 0 in the logo?

The Paris logo is fantastic. Excellent work.
The retro 80's look is making an awesome comeback, so I expect to see a lot more gradated logos in the near future. Gradients get a bad rep because they don't translate well in the real world. Getting the right colors on textiles and visibles (e.g. Logos) isn't that hard, however, getting it to look right under different circumstances -- different time of day, different angle, different product size -- is tougher than people realize. Also keep in mind that when dealing with high volume products (e.g. Millions of t-shirts, hats, jackets etc.), more colors will always result in higher costs.

Well, I was WTF at first but the design of the 2012 games made it stand out for better or worse. It was more memorable than many previous games.
These all look fine.
Was going to post this. Saw this recently on a backpack here in Berlin and had to laugh out loud how bad it still is.
