I read a comment on the BBC website yesterday saying it looked liked a bird with big curly hair and 5 earrings, kneeling down and orally pleasuring a fat bloke wearing a London T-shirt... :idea: So the Olympics sucks... :nod:

It's now coming with a health warning! It must be true - it's on the BBC website :nod:

Should've got Saville to do it - wou have at least been predictable... :nod:

On second thoughts, Biggy would've knocked something up for £40...

i hate the olympics...i'dgive up tickets to the faint concert to see a fat man joust with a pole to jump over another pole and break the stick,perhaps getting it stuck up his arse and running around shaking trying to get it out...

that should give you nightmares... :laugh:

fucking whore...

one good night on the piss, draw a pile of shite on the back of a beer mat / fag packet... 400 grand in you sky rocket, very nice thank you .....

lets hope the Olympics is a lot better than the Olympic logo ...

Sad the whole world gets to see the fookin logo!!!!

not good ad for the uk's graphic design teams .... then again who picked the final design :scratch: :nuts:

6 Jun 2007, 05:58

A big fat white elephant might have been a more apt logo.

6 Jun 2007, 06:48

Sorry, but I don't exactly like the design either. :\ohwell:

6 Jun 2007, 07:09

IMO they were trying to copy the style of graffiti writers but I've seen better trackside pieces on the tube that what the graphic desinger's on London 2012 have come up with. Also the stuff that has been done in a few hours by ordinary people on the BBC website is a million times better than that crap. :thumbdown: Here they are

All I'm gonna say is this.

That logo: shite. :nonono:

'Nuff said, end of.

:shine:

ETA [edited to add] P.S. My illegitimate boyfriend [blame a coworker for THAT nickname...] says he could draw that. And he can't draw. :nod:

Ian would have LOVED the animated display. Bunch of twats. Peter Saville could have shat a better logo than theirs - and that's BEFORE breakfast (actually as would many of the cool designers on this site). I thought it would be a disaster for London to get the Olympics before it happened. Now 'Lord' Fecking Coe and his team of a**seholes have proved it beyond any doubt whatsoever...

Oh yeah, forgot to add: Tory cnut

There was a stinging page in the Guardian today. They didn't really say anything, just printed the new logo and a selection from previous games.

All were in a different league to the new one.

6 Jun 2007, 18:38

:idea: I just realized the pieces of that broken plate make "2012".....I had no idea what I was looking at earlier.....goes to show what a crappy logo this is.....by the way how does this cost 400,000 lbs? :scratch:

Could they have chosen colors that are more offensive? It looks like it's going to attack you.

I've read today somewhere that it looks really good if you're colourblind.

Which, according to the same article, Sir Seb Coe is :shrug:

Predictable? Like This?

London 2012

white background, black font.

so why is lisa simpson in the logo :shrug:

:evil4:

12 Jun 2007, 04:24

400 fooking grand? FOR THAT SHITE?

Wouldn't it have been better from 2 different angles,to have a national school competition to design a logo:-

To get more kids interested in the Olympics,any future sportsmen out there,
So we didn't lay out 400 FOOKING GRAND???

He's 'Lord' Coe sweetheart. Seems that's gone to his head. Which, of course, makes him a s**thead... :(

I don't know, he seemed like a real nice guy when I had a private lunch with him. Of course this was 13 years ago, but he really was personable and joy to be around.

:eek3: Shook horror, haud the presses, a parasitical Tory sleazebag "personable" and "a joy to be around". Did you no know he learned to run chasing people who couldn't stand being near the slimy smug :moon:!

(Oh aye, cheers for the link, had to wiki him to find out who he is!) So he practices law on his days off?

Naw, Mate Joe :boxer: Marco :eek3:

PS and what about all the horror movies he scores? "Won't somebody please think of the children?!"
