To her brother, of all people! :shock:

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.

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.

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.
