London 2012 logo

[cobra79]

I have just seen the logo for the London 2012 Olympics and... well... look for yourselves.  :



This has to be the dullest, most hideous logo in ages, but what really shocked me was the price tag: 400,000 pounds. 
Corruption? Bad taste? or am I just too blind to see its worth?

[Phemar]

My what a hideous logo.

It actually burns my eyes.

[Buckethead]

hmmm I'm willing to make a better logo  for only 40,000 pounds 

[Nine Toes]

That really is a fugly logo.

[[Cameron]]

That is hideous.

[Nikolas]

The worst logo in history of the Olympics maybe?

It's ridiculous!

[ManicMatt]

This was better:


I'm sure we all could have came up with better logos when we were ten years old! That really is crap. Also very eighties wack-a-day kiddy bollocks, or something.

Yeah, the logo is crap, and the animated version is even crappier. They were forced to remove the animated ad from the web, for fear that it might cause seizures. I bet the designer just scribbled something in panic in the evening of the last day before the deadline .

The more I look at it, though, the more I get the feeling that the logo doesn't really matter. Also, who was the designer? This is like career suicide or the opposite.

Ugh... Ok, I see yellow and whats that other colour? Red? No. Purple? No. Eyecatching indeed, next time they should use blood and a penis for the logo, that would be even more eyecatching.

Designers world is so fake in todays world. I remember when they did a logo for Estonian capital Tallinn, they used a city silhouette that was copied right off from the well-famous canned fish label. Shure it cost alot, but there is no doubt it was just scanned and copied, people started asking afterwards where are the newer buildings in the silhouette... That leads me to conclusion that every designer must attend somekind of art school first, like drawing, so they could learn how not to be so lazy.

Actually, as far as I understood, there were actually 8 people who got epileptic seizures from it.

Does anyone see the girl kneeling down about to do something to that guy?

Its horrible, they could've came up with thousands of different and better designs than this.

Thanks Strazer

Its horrible, they could of came up with thousands of different and better designs than this.

could have = could've != could of

Sorry, it's a common mistake but I had to point it out.

And yes, the logo is horrible.

I think the logo is wonderful and full of sense and meaning. It represents what the UK is known for:



... or something like that.

[Jon]

Personally; this is my favourite version of an alternative 2012 logo

[BOYD1981]

the logo should be a rain cloud, it's gonna piss down during the olympics just like it did when they had the commonwealth games in manchester.
and i thought the 5 rings was already the olympics logo...
and £400,000 is about right, the UK is pretty much notorious for the outrageous amount of money it spends on new logos.
they really should just hold a national logo design competition, i'm sure they can get a hell of a lot better designs in 5 years.

My first impression was the word "ZION" spelled with SS runes, but I also see the woman (or man) giving head there now. 
There obviously was some outrage already, which I somehow managed to miss completely. The BBC Have Your Say on the topic had over 10,000 comments submitted. WOW. Not even the captured sailors have had that many. My favorite from the alternatives submitted there is this one. Simple, clever and above all recognizable.

[Tuomas]

I actually read it like "zoR" first.

But I've grown to ignoring it instead of not liking it.

Goatse anyone?
