New Logo for 2012 Olympics!

[dantuck_7]

The new logo has been announced. The cost of it - £400,000. Yes, you read the that correctly FOUR HUNDREAD THOUSAND POUND, 0.4 MILLION!

How, why, what?!!

That could have paid for 15 more police officers. Probably a small sized hospital if they had put the effort in.

[Monique]

Is WSA participating to the effort? If so, no wonder they're hunting for massive fines!
It's not even remotely aesthetic!

[Stormwatch]

I could have made a better one for free....too bad they didn't ask me to

their graphic desigher has to be fired!
it doesn't even look like "2012", at first i thought it was something like an abstract lion after a car crash =/

If they wanted bizarre abstract they should have contacted the people who the BBC snooker credits.

if wsa and bbc snooker credits people indeed paricipated in this then snooker could be finally considered an olympic sport

I reckon if Seb Coe had gave his children some crayons and a week off school/nursery they might have done a better job.

When I first saw it - I was trying to work out what ZZ had to do with the UK. ZZ Top??!

What, the pink spots actually "are" something?

*goes back to look*

Jesus Christ, you are right! It does say "2012"....


Now seriously, I would have never recognised that if you hadn't pointed it out. Maybe it's just me that can't see it but anyway, it's a bad design if people don't immediately get the meaning (...even thick people! )

[JaneDoe]

it's not just you kat, someone has enlightened me on this on another forum too lol
so obviously it is a bad logo

[Wity]

400 grand is peanuts compared to how much they'll waste on the olympics.

[Q Ball]

scary... Am i the only one who thinks its ok, yeah a lot of money, but it does the job

but it does the job

If that does the job, so would this:



Given four grand, I could cook up something slightly less hideous looking myself.

[Miss_S]

Link doesn't work,Maija.

I didn't realise those pink things actually were supposed to look like something untill someone here pointed it out, so I wouldn't say it does the job.
And that pink colour is very...1987
