I've just seen the animated version, I now have epilepsy!!
:shock:

I heard seb coe going on about how the logo was protected by the Olympic Act so as to get away from fake goods, who'd want to copy that shite? I'd but something "fake" because it had a different logo on it!

what was wrong with this...the bid logo??

Here's what the Olympic commitee say about the logo....
New brand launches

London 2012's new brand and vision were launched today by Sebastian Coe and London 2012 ambassadors.

The new Olympic emblem is based on the number 2012 - the year the Games take place and includes the Olympic Rings and the word London.

For the first time the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games emblems have been based on the same core shape.

Available in four colours – pink, blue, green and orange - the new emblem is modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012.

It symbolises the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part - not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more.

Launching the brand at the Roundhouse in North London, London 2012 Chair Seb Coe said: "London 2012 will be 'Everyone's Games', everyone's 2012. This is the vision at the very heart of our brand.

"It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold and act as a reminder of our promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world.

"It is an invitation to take part and be involved."
How does it do any of that?? That's advertising agency bollocks.

To me that always looked like a psychedelic chook.
As a piece of design, though, that is far superior. I presume it's trying to depict a runner with the flame, perhaps? However the legs are a boomerang and the 'flame' is the Sydney Opera House. At least it works and has something to it (and is a definable image) rather than a pink blodge.
Looks like a Spurs fan designed (Doodled) it. 8)
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Not quite as stupid as the prick that thinks he's solved London's traffic congestion problems by moving it from outside his office window to the inner-city ring, whilst telling people that they should be boarding means of transport that it's physically impossible to get onto due to existing passenger numbers. I don't mind there being a North/South divide, just so long as I'm on the northern side of it! 8)

The Olympic logo is even on I Am Bored - http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=23715

But this is a BBC News piece about viewers logos. Until I read the comments I had never heard of 'goatse' but one of the logos is apparently a goatse. And if you also have never heard of goatse look it up on Wikipedia.

So to sum up the logo has resulted in discussion of epilepsy, Lisa Simpson giving a blow job and a geezer stretching out his arsehole to quite a considerable width.

bottom right a two.

That's all I got. And it took me half hour to see that.
