Has anyone seen the video thing for it? Yes, it moves and changes colour and stuff...
Apparently, because there's so many flashes and bright colours and stuff, it's caused epileptic fits (have I spelt that wrong? sorry) unsurprising...

:einstein

Stupid thing, The Sun newspaper got a monkey to do one- handed it paper and paint and it looks soooo similar to the one you posted. There should've been a competition for it which would've been better and CHEAPER! I didn't even know that the shapes said 2012. Graffitti can't be read, graffitti's always mispelt and scruffy, so if that's the symbol of the London Olympics I feel sorry for the popularity of our country, it's all down hill from here *super frown*

:einstein :einstein

Trying to reach out to the younger generation? A while ago, they were saying clean up graffitti and get yobs and chavs off of the street but that's directed at them! In pink too! An awful colour, in my opinion. I'm part of the younger generation and I HATE it! I could do better than that! Infact, that monkey did better! (similar but better, obviously)

Maybe they have paid some trend researchers and they said that fuchsia and strange squares will be very "en vogue" in 2012?! :laugh:
I don't know any other reason for such a logo. This is even worse then the last football (soccer for our American friends ) World Cup logo and that stupid lion without trousers.
Do they already have a mascot for London 2012?!

The monkey I previously spoke of :laugh:

Or Springy, the Springfield Spring (you'll only get this if you saw the Simpsons where Springfield almost held the Olympics)

I'd like to see a video of the monkey painting, . I wouldn't take The Sun's word for anything!

I wouldn't say it shows England to be uncreative and boring - the majority of the country weren't the ones who created it. If people turn around and say we, as a country, are uncreative and boring, then they're very closed minded. Or think England is made up of one person.

Is that just the team (brand) logo or the official logo? (confuzzled).

What were they thinking anyway? lol...and this will apparently be available in four, count 'em four STUNNING color combos! (ugh)

And what's with the Z's? Aren't Olympians supposed to be kind of...perky? lol
#33 Old 6th Jun 2007 at 11:12 PM
It looks kinda rude to me! I probably just have a dirty mind, but it looks like 2 people having fun, a man and a woman... I'm not gonna go into details but jeez!!

Oh my..! I can never look at it again in the same way -__-' I've just noticed now you said! And I can't stop giggling when I see it now. I'm so immature.

someone was a fan of Kiss.
Those 2's are definitely stolen from the kiss logo
That was, strangely enough, what i thought about immediately.
I don't even *like* Kiss. But they have a good logo

They aren't Z's, it actually says 2012 (look at it really closely...)


hey, Lethe_s, you're right!

In London, that actually caused some seizures there. It's because of the neon colors, I think.

Hmm, anyone else think that there may be a drastic change in the wind?

EDIT: Just watched the clip. That stupid thing just gave me a headache.

I would like to clear up the little matter of my sanity as it has come into question. I am not in any way, shape, or form, sane. Insane? Hell yes!

People keep calling me 'evil.' I must be doing something right.

I wondered if anyone could come up with an Olympics logo or mascot worse than Izzy from the 96 Summer games in Atlanta...now I can stop wondering.

Got a link?

Also, anyone else think that if they do stick to this logo, then as soon as it's pasted around the capital people are either going to cover it up or graffiti over it?

Apparently this logo, when it flashes all different colours, has triggered off some epileptic seizures, I heard this on the news.

couldnt they hire a professional graphic designer?
or someone who actually knows how to use photoshop

I love Jude Law
#49 Old 10th Jun 2007 at 3:23 AM
Jeez, that little kid they got to draw the logo's gonna be rich. Honestly, it just looks like a bad colouring in job.
#50 Old 10th Jun 2007 at 5:52 AM
I don't like it... it's bright and... pink... I despise any shade of pink...
