The London 2012 Olympics have just released there logo, and to be quite frank, its ugly -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_s ... 718243.stm
It's meant to shape out the fours numbers 2,0,1 and 2. But it looks like a big block of upleasant coloured rocks.

That is horrific.
I thought i could not draw till i saw that, did they just get some random hobo with some crayons to draw that?

I wouldn't even class it as wooden spoon, the wooden spoon suggests at least you made an effort...that could have been drawn in 30 seconds.

Theres a thread on this forum too.
I think it sums up the London Olympics perfectly... It's a mess.
The actual logo is meant to signify unity, To me it looks fragmented, incomplete and deficient. Just like the IOC.

i think they should have got the children of britain to design their own versions, and the winner gets a book voucher and free access to the olympic stadium ect.
only think that because it would have given me a chance to win

I would pay that person £400,000 for that, why do they not just use that one, it is the same just moved about a bit.

Looks a bit like they've jumped on the whole trendy 'new rave' thing... Well done London. You've made 80's throwbacks even less attractive.

I like the logo well enough.
More importantly, when will I be able to buy tickets to this shindig?
