Horror of horrors. Look at what the newly-unveiled logo for the London 2012 Olympic Games looks like:-
When I first saw it, I thought, clearly this has got to be a joke. Perhaps they are publishing the worst-of-the-worst entries for the Design an Olympic Logo competition. Unfortunately, it's so official it's untrue.
There's even a petition going round calling for change.
400 thousand pounds were spent and it took an agency a year to come up with it. Why couldn't they have chosen one of these or these instead? Readers of the BBC News website took a few minutes to design and send in their alternative designs, and most of them are more attractive than the shards-of-pink-glass-panes of an atrocity that is the unveiled logo.
On a lighter note, of the 'alternative' designs, check out this one with David Brent in it! LOL.
Too funny! See how the pink logo has been 'rearranged'.

It's truly a shocker! I can't believe that the people in charge actually chose this logo (and paid 400000 pounds for it!). Now I wonder what the mascot will look like. *shudder*
Found this article about the Olympic logo at Seth Godin's blog... you might be interested to check it out.
everyone's being so stubborn about it staying put :( maybe the mascot will be a stack of flattened cardboard boxes held together by yellow raffia, spray-painted neon pink and with post-its for eyes.
yaarrr i read about this...but the rearranged logo is super hilarious!
by the way i love your "roll eyes" category. it's so you!
