Is it just me that can only see it as Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob?

To her brother, of all people!

I originally thought it might be one of those plastic puzzles you used to get in Christmas crackers. Given half an hour and a lot of alcohol I reckon I could probably make a fir tree or something out of it.

And to think people get amazing money for designing rubbish like that.

I heard the design cost 400 grand!

Tessa Jowell likes it, and that's good enough for me. She is, after all, the voice of reason. A bargain for £90 000 000 000. From now on in I shall be buying lottery tickets by the bucketfull to help fund this glorious (debacle) gesture.

That logo is a disgrace. The colours are horrific.

Now you mention it Horse it should read 2012 but it has been so poorly designed that I couldn't see it at first. I think it is also trying to represent a person (Possibly a shot putter reaching down before launching across the circle) but it just fails on all fronts.

Typical balls up by this wonderful country of ours.

I wouldn't worry too much, you will get used to it. Sydney's was:

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.
