Vancouver Unveils 2010 Olympic Medals

Vancouver, the world's home for the 2010 Olympics has unveiled its designs for the Olympic Medals. According to the press release these medals, "...each feature a different crop of larger contemporary Aboriginal artworks and are undulating rather than flat -- both firsts in Games history. The dramatic form of the Vancouver 2010 medals is inspired by the ocean waves, drifting snow and mountainous landscape found in the Games region and throughout Canada. The Olympic medals are circular in shape, while the Paralympic medals are a superellipse, or squared circle."
Critics say the the medals look like they have been melted, or left too long in the sun. Its a different design from "traditional" Olympic medal designs -- what do you think?
