The COC has demanded that the Olympia discontinue their use of Olympic rings, flame, and torch designs. This would result in great expenses to this small business establishment, which has used these designs in their advertising, signs, and menus for many, many years. Somehow, the COC believes their continued use of these designs will impede the success of the marketing programs for the 2010 winter games, and the public will be led to believe that the Olympia's services have been endorsed by the COC or are somehow connected to the 2010 winter games. We, the undersigned, are writing to voice our strong opposition to these demands. It is hard to imagine how the marketing programs for the 2010 Olympics will be jeopardized, or the public misled, by the continued use of these designs by a small business struggling to stay afloat in a competitive market. We also point out that the service provided by the Olympia is exemplary, and that the owners consistently give back to the community. Those of us who supported the 2010 Olympics certainly never envisioned that this support would jeopardize a small community business such as the Olympia. We call upon the COC to rescind these demands and not jeopardize the Olympia's interests because of some unlikely effect of their continued use of these designs on the success of OUR Olympics.
