The official London 2012 Victory Ceremonies podiums, ceremonial costumes, make-up and flowers have been revealed today. These components will be used across 805 Victory Ceremonies taking place in over 30 London 2012 venues.
Taking place soon after a medal event finishes, the design of the Victory Ceremonies has been created to be an exciting celebration of the achievements of every medal-winning athlete.
The unique design of the royal purple podiums and costumes has been created by students at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London. The students have worked with London 2012 over the last eight months to create and develop the designs.
The design of the podiums uses dynamic lines representing the energy that the Games and athletes represent. The ceremonial costumes were inspired by Greek mythology, British heritage and London architecture.
4,400 floral bouquets will also be presented to athletes along with medals during the Victory Ceremonies. The bouquet represents the vibrancy of the Games and the four sections hold a different variety of the rose, an iconic British flower.
The make-up worn by all athletes and presenter escorts is a unique look created by Max Factor award-winning make-up artist Caroline Barnes. The purple and gold shades create a simple, modern design as well as a natural and fresh look.
