Potential Badges?

[Abdicators]

Found three new images inside of the Habbo Client, they are bronze, silver and gold badges. (That is, the images are within the 40x40px badge size).

I actually really like them!

More likely to be to celebrate the olympics, considering they are bronze silver and gold.

Cannot believe I forgot about the olympics.

What I immediately thought is that the shading on the bronze one looks great, but the others look a bit washed out. Think you are right that they will become badges for the Olympics, well noticed.

[xxMATTGxx]

Are they new or you just came across them? I would assume the Olympics if they haven't used them already.

[Abdicators]

Pretty sure they're new. I've been checking the client every few releases for new images to do with the camera. These are not familiar.

[geo]

ooh, they're very nice. :D hopefully they are for the olympics, thats what you would think anyway now they're so close!

They cant be olympics, Habbo isnt allowed to promote olympics as they are not an official sponsor

[Jarkie]

Yeah they are ok, but I prefer the old, gold sliver and bozen medals.

They will probably call it "Habbolympics" like back in 2008 :P.

Nice I suppose, although I'm sure I've seen a badge very similar to those xD.

[edible]

Paul said they have to be really careful with olympic campaigns due to the whole olympics being heavily trademarked. Will mean more to something else.

Abdicators; Is this it for the bronze? -
+ badge_name_HOP03=Habbolympics Bronze Medal

Or was that the badge code for the 2008 badge? :L

@PaulLaFo Why to have lied to me when you said to me that there would be no event on the games Olympic!?


@Dum_Fr The staff gave me a nice surprise! :)

makes me miss my habbowealth badge :(
they are nice though!

They can use the word 'Olympics' provided they don't create an association in the mind of the reasonable person between Habbo/Sulake and the London Olympics. Habblympics might be borderline (in terms of word usage) but as long as they don't say anything like "Supporting the 2012 Games" or "Supporting the Summer of Sports!" or something, then they are fine. There's a whole list of words you're not allowed to use: usage of a word from Group 1 and a word from Group 2 OR two words from Group 1 OR two words from Group 2 = illegal (in the UK, at least, temporarily due to special laws enacted for the Olympics).

It's why companies using social media have to be extra careful for the next few weeks to ensure they're not seen to be associating themselves with the Olympics - even things like "We support the Olympics!" or "Supporting Team GB" are currently illegal because they imply an association between the company/person making the remark and the 2012 Olympics - there are a bunch of exclusions (generally relating to reporting, criticism, commentary, etc.) but none of those would apply to Habbo/Sulake.

The Olympic Games has extremely strict rules on branding/copyright infringements and only those made "official" are allowed to promote them. If they call it Habbolympics again it's fine though.

Basically this, the Olympics has very strict and also odd rules and regulations in terms of who can use what.

[lawrawrrr]

Haven't read the thread BUT

the habbolympics bronze medal was updated yesterday (yet to check for today) so maybe...

[LiquidLuck.]

They look really good!

[MKR&*42]

The silver olympics badge code was updated today as well haha - but the code stayed the same so idrk why they took it out and added it back in :S. So bronze and silver have been done (maybe by chance idk?) waiting for gold :P
