2012 Olympic Logo

**.:Rob:.** · 06-14-2007 12:27 AM

I don't get what's with all the fuss over the new logo? Does anyone here actually have a problem with it - because I don't and I don't see why anyone should. Just curious to hear everyones opinions.

BTW, here's an article with some more info on the whole thing.

But that's only the animation, right. It's not like the logo itself causes seisures. And as for the Jewish people saying it looks like a swastica, that's just sort of silly (I don't want to offend anyone, but there's probably a thousand different things that remind people of swasticas - it's no reason to completely redesign an olympic logo).

Wow. I just plain think it looks ugly. Thats just my opinion though.

I agree with exobyte. They give people 400,000 dollars, and this is what they get out of it. Seriously, they could have just hired some teenage photoshop obsesser to do this for 6 dollars an hour. I could do something like this, or better, honestly. I definitly don't like it... I don't really care, I'm just saying it's not good looking.

...Oh. 2012. Haha it looks more like ZOR to me. But I pay more attention to the athletes then the logos, so I don't really care.

I think it's fine, people shouldn't whine so much, it's just a logo.

Besides that, I think it looks like someone kneeling down to wank someone off.

Pink and yellow on white...I just felt nauseous by looking at that small image of it, and I'm not joking...

LOL! Thanks for clarifying. I was actually wondering the same thing myself... haha. 2012... what a weird way to write it. I don't think that logo is 400,000 either, but that's just me.

Hmm, now that you've mentioned, it looks like there is a person on the right (with the olympics logo head), giving a blow job to the person on the left, who happens to have a parallelogram-sized-penis.

I could do a better job and thats saying something! I thought the shapes were the river Thames or something then.

Tx for link...
Wow, looks like they were trying to give people epileptic seizures on purpose! Wtf where they thinking with all the blinking colors at the end... wow. The ad was alright at some parts, nothing to brag about. Some of the effects were pretty neat (the guys on the wheel chair playing looked cool), but everything else was pretty bad... the music was laughable.

Oh well... I didn't pay the money for that crappy ad, so I'm not worried about it.

...Everytime I look at it.

This was apparently one of the many user-made logos too:

Makes me think of a blood bath and slaughter for some reason.

lol yeah, all thats missing is the al-Qaeda logo

**NeAvO** · 06-23-2007 04:42 PM

I'm no logoist(doubt that's a real word) however I think having Big Ben, the London eye and perhaps the London bridge, with the olympics logo behind it.

Perhaps with the union jack as the background, but not as red as that last logo.

Oh and London 2012 on it somewhere too.
