May the Best Logo Win!
The location of the 2016 Summer Olympics will be announced in one month. For the past two years, cities around the world have been knocking themselves out to be chosen as the event's host. The field has been narrowed to Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo.

Which one of the above city logos works best? Make your choice and explain your rationale in the forum thread "May the Best Logo Win."
