The Olympic sponsorship frenzy continues.
The shipping company DHL is seeking a deal with the International Olympic Committe to become a global top-level sponsor and the official logistics partner for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games and 2012 London Summer Olympics, according to Brand Republic.com.
The TOP sponsorship deals of McDonald's, Visa, Coca-Cola, Panasonic, Samsung, Omega, GE and Atos Origin all run through the 2012 Games in London.
