So, I guess they recently revealed 2012 Olympics logo.

I'm going to break my usual rule and forego the LJ-Cut, because this just has to be seen to be believed:



Um, WTF, London? I suppose it's a departure from the logos of years past, buuuuuut... No. Sorry.

It looks like someone lost a bet and had to let their 14 year old who just learned Illustrator make it.

It reminds me of the 80s. Must be the bright colors...

You need to make a new icon, where instead of the #1 threat to America being bears, the #1 threat is that logo. You know Colbert would agree.

Srsly, WTF?

OMG!!! "The new emblem is dynamic, modern and flexible. It will work with new technology and across traditional and new media networks."

!?!?

P.S. the 80s called, and even they're horrified by it.

*laugh* I've been hearing the bitching about this on the BBC for days, but hadn't bothered to see what it looks like. I had hoped that it would be more cool.

Eeeep. Yeah, it totally looks like it goes on the cover of someone's junior high yearbook cover for 1984.

£400,000! Can you fooking believe it? £400,000 from my tax freaking money! £400,000, and 12 months of work for something that represents everything that was wrong with the 80's! and the whole thing flashes which trigger epileptic fits? Seriously, they need to be shot!!!!!!!

I thought it was maybe a stylized globe with each of the blobs being one of the continents.

I thought the same thing, at first, LOL! I'd call it a sign of bad design when the people looking at it can't even tell what it's representing.
