    London 2012 Olympic logo

    When I saw this logo, I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not! It's absolutely awful, in my opinion! What do you all think?

    Oh God that is atrocious!!! Whoever the designer was should be shot along with the committee that approved it.

    Doesn't every country go through this? I remember all the upset when Atlanta games showed theirs, too.

    You know I actually think those are cute. I liked the ones from the Turino 2006. And I think the ones for Beijing are really cute.

    heh -- its more that i dont know what to make of the Bejing ones -- i think they're cute too, in that particular animated style, but they look kind of, i dunno -- not quite sinister, but theres something a little odd... I think its the eyes maybe

    I think the logo is hideous, I mean, I have seen bad or ugly logos before, but that one is especially ugly. Why fuscia pink? Why jagged, ugly blocks? Why does it look like it has nothing to do with sport?

    The Bejing panda is cute, but otherwise I've never been impressed with any of the olympic logos.

    Vibrant: yes.
    Energy: yes, but it's not positive energy.
    Youthful? No - childish!
    Fun? No. More like *bad* graffiti.

    Exactly - not youthful but childish in a bad way - like it was created by someone who only had access to dull scissors, no creativity, and not much for motor skills - otherwise he/she would have done a better job. Since when is hot pink associated with either sports or with London? I don't get it. And surely there was a search process - that's the scary part!

  15. Well described Karen. And while it doesn't cause me epileptic fits...it does give me a certain physical reaction.....
