Wenlock Mandeville • Your text here This is a PowerPoint about the Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville. They were made on 19 May 2010. The mascots were created and designed by iris, a London-based creative agency.
Wenlock Wenlock’s name is inspired by much Wenlock in Shropshire, England, where the Wenlock Olympian society held its first Olympian Games in 1850, regarded as an inspiration for the modern Olympic games. He has five friendship bracelets on his wrist. Each bracelet takes the colour of an Olympic ring. The three points on his head represent the three places on the podium. The pattern on his body with the logo of the games symbolises the whole world coming to London in 2012. The shape on the front of his head represents the shape of the Olympic stadium roof. In the run-up to the games Wenlock hopes to make as many friends as possible and always looks on the bright side of life.
Mandeville Mandeville’s name comes from Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England which held The stoke Mandeville Games the inspiration for the Paralympics. Mandeville wears a pink stopwatch on his wrist which on models reads 0:20:12. His helmet-like head with three points coloured blue, red and green represents the agitos, the Paralympic Symbols.
