wonder if its te same ****** that had it off when re-doing the home secretary new sign? :angry:
I realise I can be a bit thick, but does the shape of this logo represent something?
(I can see the 2-0-1-2, I@m asking about the outline)

I’m voting for #11.
Actually, I was hoping London would go for "springy", the olympics logo from the Simpsons.

Just swap the flags and you’re done.
(assuming New Labour hasn’t handed control of London to the yanks by 2012)
No need to rename London, everyone will understand the reference/homage soon enough.

This sort of thing always astonishes me. Instead of inviting the kids of London to come up with a logo for the price of an X-box, they pay 400 grand for this pile of wolverhampton wanderers.
Our department are forever indulging in this. Offer £2k prize money to the staff and have hundreds of options to choose from, or pay half a million to some grubby little marketing company to get a shortlist of three, two of which will be sh*te.
The entire event is a colossal waste of money anyway. Frankly obscene that any country would consider spending that amount of money on a sporting event rather than hospitals, schools or pensions. Then there are the millions of people around the world suffering from curable diseases. How about Gordon Brown cancelling the bloody thing and announcing the money we were going to spend on it will be used to fund cataract operations for the hundreds of thousands of people in the Third World who are needlessly blind. Or maybe he could use it to fund decent state pensions or compensate those who’s pension fund has disappeared?
Anyway I couldn’t give a lampard about the Olympics. To quote the great Chris Morris on The Day Today,
"But I hate Sebastian Coe!" <br>
Online petition to have it dumped ..
I discovered that if you eat a large handful of magic mushrooms and then look at it………..<br>the thing doesn’t look any better.
It must be a worry for the Olympic committe who want to use the logo to raise cash for the games. They must have sent the pattern off to the children in China by now, for them to start making £70 shirts.
Its certainly bizarre and baffling – a certain candidate for the next Turner Prize……..
Can’t remember ever seeing an awe inspiring Olympics logo so don’t know what the fuss is all about.
Has it got city name on? Check!<br>Has it got 5 rings on? Check!<br>Has it got year on? Check!
Whats the problem then, bar from nobody has seen fit to put a bullet between Sebby’s eyes yet?
Having looked at it again, it might be designed in a way that it could be easily changed, without too much trouble, to read 2013, or even 2014.
Thats a very clever design. One that could be very usefull.;)
Get my drift ?
<br> :old:
The discussion over the logo<br> has certainly brought peoples attention<br> to what is happeneing in 2112.<br> Better I think if the kiddies had designed it
The prospect of seeing that monstrosity every five bloody minutes for 3 months terrifies me, even if it is 5 years away. Oh well, plenty time to emigrate, I suppose.
