The London 2012 Olympics Logo

[Meph]

Oh my gosh it makes so much sense now!!!

What's wrong with stuff like this? http://www.johnsonbanks.co.uk/up_images ... s_logo.jpg

The logo that we used for the bid was nice, but that's all it was: nice. It was a bit naff, to be honest.

Seriously... why do Olympic logos have to try and fail at being so fancy-schmancy?

I much prefer that to the current logo.

No offense intended to anybody here, but it seems like it would suit the Special Olympics more than anything else (mainly for it's playful different sized shapes, and colorfulness, I feel like it's sending a much more brighter message due to the way the shapes are, like ANYONE can go and compete kinda deal), plus, it looks REALLY wrong, some artist must've been trollin' right now :p

Again guys, no offense to anyone who has a disability, but if you look at it in that perspective, I think it's pretty cool and nice for a message to be sent out like that in that respect.


For Pro olympics though, seems pretty whacky :/, I like the look that BB linked too, professional, smooth, clean.

I used to hate it but I just realised it says:

20
12

So that's pretty cool.

Have to agree with ShadowEdgeworth. Since I saw this...

...I haven't been able to see it any other way.

...Wow.

QFT.

Hm, didn't notice that before. I guess that is kinda neat.

I didn't realize this topic exists, why use a turtle though?

[SuperGanondorf]

Wow... That logo... It's unbelievably horrible...

Ah, the British sense of humour. Must be an intentional abomination.

...At least I hope so, otherwise it completely misses the point. First of all, why so colourful when everyone knows England's trademark is being beautifully depressing?

Regardless, it must've taken some courage to actually use that logo, so I respect that.

Am I meant to be offended by that?

You cannot deny its truth.

I'm English and I'm not! xD

Meph > If you are, then I should be too. Don't forget I'm also (proudly, I might add) British I've even kept my nationality when I could've chosen not to, so this is not just an uninformed, outside look, but rather a bit of self-deprecation.
All I'm saying is Britain should embrace the characteristics people are most likely to associate with it instead of trying to sell a soulless, fake "brand".

Yes, quite right, old chap. Here, take this crumpet and my maid will fetch you a cup of Earl Grey. *twiddles moustache*

Actually, I was referring to my region, rather than the country as a whole. It's always grey in the North West, and we're always complaining about it!!! Curse you southerners and your nice weather!
