What do you think of the 2012 Olympics logo?

[alldaws1]

The BBC's got a selection of alternative logos readers have sent in, the first batch being here and the second lot here. Yes, some of them are made in MS Paint.

I kind of like this one, even if it is somewhat bland (take out the tag line though, obviously).

That's awesome.

I also like this one:

The rest are worse than the actual logo ¬_¬

Apparently one of the b3ta forummers sent in a pisstake Goatse themed logo;

Thing is, it was actually discounted as some kids attempt and shown on the BBC along with the others.

Genuis.

Andrew Robinson: "The five colours represent Olympic tradition. Also a bundle of taxpayers money going down the drain."

My favourite was the one that looked like a London road sign with the 2012 instead of the postcode.

Very cool, modern and yet timeless.

Hahaha, they showed Goatse logo on the BBC.

As for the main logo, it's awful. I think it is supposed to represent the main Commonwealth countries though, with the last 2 being all of the United Kingdom. Hence the little dot off of it being Northern Island.

Give me a fiver and a lunchhour and I'll round up something better. £500,000 and a year to do THAT?

One of the free London newspapers demonstrated how the same logo could be produced in 30 seconds with MS Paint.

[ONO]

I wouldn't be surprised if they created that on the first day and then decided to drag it out. Genius.

[Hellfire]

Wow, that looks like shit. Maybe they kept the money, then forgot to do it, and 30 minutes before they had to unvail it they panicked, fired up Paint and came up with that. Now it would explain everything.

Creators of footage promoting the 2012 Olympics should not be paid after it emerged it could trigger an epileptic seizure, London's mayor has said.

Ken Livingstone's comments came after a segment of the animated footage had to be removed from the organisers' website on the advice of experts.

He said the designer should not be paid a penny for the "catastrophic mistake".

Charity Epilepsy Action said it had received 18 calls from people who had suffered fits after watching the clip.

Though he probably has no authority over such matters, of course. >_>

Do, do, do, do you have it? GUTS!

[Lowerdeck]

Wow, that logo is straight garbage. Pretty much every attempt from that BBC site looked better. And hahahaha to the BBC for showing the Goatse one.

[Guest Big Dog]

Guy who designed that should be shot, hanged and burned alive. I volunteer to do it

This might've been said but it looks like someone fucking someone else up the arse. With a detachable penis...
