#1 Not exactly the Greatest Logo Ever, but if it pisses off the Iranians, it works for me.

#2 Alternative take on the logo:

'How Lisa Simpson got ahead at the Olympics'

#3 Man o man, these people are weird. Never in a thousand years would I have deduced "Zion" from a scribble of 2012.

#4 To me it looked like that item on the buffet table you see from a few servings away and looks bad, then you get to it and the smell just makes ya want to get away as fast as possible.

Ha, now SP1762's link has a whole new take on it.

#5 Logo looks like Kama Sutra positions to me.

#7 The Olympic organizers should IMMEDIATELY replace the symbol with a more appropriate one. I suggest this design from the roof of a building in Iran.

#8 Ooooh! I see it!

1. Z as in London
2. The I, squished by Z (Darmok, his eys closed)
3. The O-lympic Rings
4. The N, squished by O (Jalad, his eyes open)
