London committee unveils 2012 Olympics logo
2007-06-04
It will come in different colors, but the red and black look rather sinister to me. Yes, even olympic logos get to be Hitler for fifteen minutes.

#13  Rather an odd way to symbolize global unity and a shared humanity, I think.

#12  Do these clowns have to got to Pretentious Asshole School, or is it a natural talent?

#11  Wonder what they paid for the logo. If it was more than a couple of quid, they were robbed.

#8  Current opinion on the BBC website is that it looks like Lisa Simpson giving a bj - you'll never get *that* image out of your head will you ;)

Also, http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2007/06/04/2012_new_logo_feature.shtml has some comments from people. How about this;


Julie
I think it looks terrible, and looking at it immediately makes me think it looks like a swastika that has been taken apart. So for me, if it reminds me of that symbol - it is not a nice feeling at all.


or this;

I think it is abysmal. Feels like it has been designed by a tellytubby on acid!! Is it April 1st already, when do we get to see the real one!!!

#7  If I squint just enough, it looks like two half-logos having anal intercourse.

LOL!!

Now that all is what I am gonna see everytime I see this logo. Thanks..... Really.

#6  Agree with Gabby, somebody dropped it, and lost the part that says "Some assembly required."

Either that, or it was designed by the same chowderheads that came up with the immortal tourist-snaring slogan for the Evergreen State: "Say WA?"

#5  WTF?

That's the most retarded logo I've ever seen.

#4  If I squint just enough, it looks like two half-logos having anal intercourse. But, then again, I'm a pervert.

#3  Looks like somebody dropped it.

#2  I don't like it but I won't be following it anyway. Not very cheery.

#1  Yeah, if that's not a deconstructed swastika, then what is it? Bet it was designed and approved by 25 year olds.
