2012 Olympic Logo

[Fat Tone]

Does no one else see a BJ happening here?

I say there are some far better contenders here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6719747.stm

And they are £400,000 cheaper!

For a moment I thought it was for the Beijing Olympics
Can't say that I like the other options either, maybe 1 and 8 could do it.

Saw this the other day and my reaction was pretty much the same as most of the designers who have seen it... WTF.

It's certainly different and a nice break from the lackluster logos of the past few years, but wow... just wow.

That's the first thing I saw! Took me awhile to figure out what it was supposed to be - the continents, right?

[Technoid]

My initial reaction: WTF?!? Is that a joke?!?

Shockingly bad logo!

[Jessterw]

Here's the official introduction of the logo:

http://main.london2012.com/en/news/archive/2007/June/2007-06-04-12-06.htm

London 2012's new brand and vision were launched today by Sebastian Coe and London 2012 ambassadors.

The new Olympic emblem is based on the number 2012 - the year the Games take place and includes the Olympic Rings and the word London.

For the first time the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games emblems have been based on the same core shape.

Available in four colours – pink, blue, green and orange - the new emblem is modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012.

It symbolises the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part - not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more.

Launching the brand at the Roundhouse in North London, London 2012 Chair Seb Coe said: "London 2012 will be 'Everyone's Games', everyone's 2012. This is the vision at the very heart of our brand.

"It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold and act as a reminder of our promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world.

"It is an invitation to take part and be involved."

Umm, yeah... sure thing.

No, its a BJ.

Shockingly bad logo!

Yep, its a BJ.

[Fat Tone]

I'm gonna start using this at work instead of inkblots

[Mehen]

I like it better as the continents. Or both. Only thing is Europe would be a little f*cked up looking. Other than that it works.

Epilepsy fears over 2012 footage

A segment of animated footage promoting the 2012 Olympic Games has been removed from the organisers' website after fears it could trigger epileptic fits.

Prof Graham Harding, who developed the test used to measure photo-sensitivity levels in TV material, said it should not be broadcast again.

Charity Epilepsy Action said it had received calls from people who had suffered fits after seeing it.

Organiser London 2012 said it will re-edit the film

I suffered a fit having seen it, but not an epileptic one: a fit of total stupor as to how any designer could produce such total crap

[Fat Tone]

I'm sorry, but unless they change it, it will always be known as the BJ Olympics.

I'm sorry, but unless they change it, it will always be known as the BJ Olympics.

Better not use slang, The Fellatio Olympics.

Sebastian had better get out his running shoes again to escape all the criticism.

[Fat Tone]

I gather there's an animated version of the logo...
