Yes, its cr*p

The logo for the London Olympics, that is. Or maybe "the powerful, modern emblem symbolises the dynamic Olympic spirit and its inspirational ability to reach out to people all over the world".

I find it interesting that people are suggesting that the Georgian move on South Ossetia a few days ago occurred when it did because the Olympics are on and no one would notice because they would all be watching the sports.
The Olympics in Beijing (pronounce) are of course being boycotted by this blog.
When I was growing up in Ireland, the Olympics were something worth watching; amateur athletes not getting monetary compensation, giving it their all, and happy to do so because it was the Olympics.
Warm weather at the Winter Olympics played a major part in the $51 billion extravaganza.

I had got a dream to make my firm, but I did not have got enough amount of cash to do it. Thank heaven my close friend said to take the loans. Hence I used the sba loan and made real my old dream.

Thats horrible. My not quite 2 year old nephew could design something like that.

By the way, your not from Edinburgh are you?

I hope that is an overhead layout of the facilities or something. If not, I agree with guthrie. It does reach out to the world... and makes them want to vomit.

the logo looks like Lisa Simpson performing fellatio.

What did it look like before it fell on the floor and broke into pieces?

Wow, that's bad. It looks like an SS symbol that had a brick dropped on it. So is it a pro-Nazi symbol or an anti-Nazi symbol? :)

I have a suggestion that would improve it. Replace the word "London" with the word "Paris". ;)

The fact that that logo even got past any initial stages is a grim reminder that we, as a species, are good at doing horrifically stupid things. I looked at it and thought, "war isn't so bad an idea that it's impossible for us."

Eli- from what I heard on the radio, it was more that an expert suggested it could cause siezures. Thus the media translates possibilities into definites, and misleads people.

Aerik's is a good one :). At first I thought 'wtf is Zorz?', until I realised that it shows a cartoon hippo doing the 'I'm a little teapot' dance. Or something.

I read it was the -animated- version of the logo causing epileptic type seizures...not surprising if you've seen it.

"The fits are alleged to have been caused by a five-second diving sequence of a pool erupting in colour"
