The London 2012 Olympics have just released there logo, and to be quite frank, its ugly -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_s ... 718243.stm

It's meant to shape out the fours numbers 2,0,1 and 2. But it looks like a big block of upleasant coloured rocks.

That is horrific.

I thought i could not draw till i saw that, did they just get some random hobo with some crayons to draw that?

interesting logo... at least we HAVE the olympics though

I wouldn't even class it as wooden spoon, the wooden spoon suggests at least you made an effort...that could have been drawn in 30 seconds.

Theres a thread on this forum too.

I think it sums up the London Olympics perfectly... It's a mess.

The actual logo is meant to signify unity, To me it looks fragmented, incomplete and deficient. Just like the IOC.

ooof. maybe someone will chance their mind. it is pretty ugly.

who makes the logos for the olympics? whom ever it is should be shot.

ALL BRITONS UNITE!!!

uh-huh, but you can't tell us what to do.

we will anyway, cause it's a good idea, but still...

by **Telvannia** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 3:29 pm

i think they should have got the children of britain to design their own versions, and the winner gets a book voucher and free access to the olympic stadium ect.

only think that because it would have given me a chance to win

I would pay that person £400,000 for that, why do they not just use that one, it is the same just moved about a bit.

I swear, I just am at that point where I am not suprised anymore about this shit. It's almost as though they do it to wind me up...[/b]

Excuse me while I puke in a corner....

Looks a bit like they've jumped on the whole trendy 'new rave' thing... Well done London. You've made 80's throwbacks even less attractive.

by **btownmeggy** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:29 pm

I like the logo well enough.

More importantly, when will I be able to buy tickets to this shindig?

by **Hitman079** on Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:33 pm

it looks more like someone used pieces of paper to set up the logo.
