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

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

#3 Looks like somebody dropped it.

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

#5 WTF?

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

#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?"

#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;

Donald Meyer
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!!!

#10 How much? Cuz I got an eight year old nephew that could've done it for half...

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

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

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