    ugly doesn't quite do it justice... complete bollocks is more appropriate i feel...

    looks like something that's been smashed with a hammer - very appropriate! Not as good as the dinosaurs in front of the RA though.

    interesting, it looks like they got the olypics logo mixed up with a crap tiling company logo

    I mean. I can hardly see this logo 5 years from now capturing the essence of this Olympic brand... especially when it cant even do it now.

    My words when i saw it "it's crap" and a few hours later it's still crap.

    If they had got it free as part of a competition I could have understood, they paid £500,000 for it. The design company must have spent 30 seconds on this?

    It is real. I'm shocked.

    Not a good image for the country especially considering that Olympics logos are usually shit hot.

    yeah, these just look as though they're gonna be shit... mind you, the people they have in charge of running it couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery so no wonder it's already failing...

    egads!

    and i thought using the inukshuk (Vancouver 2010 Olympics) was trite. inukshuks are made of rock; it's cheesy to paint them. *sigh*

    :) but yours is MUCH worse!

    unless jumpstyling for midgets is to be the hottest olympic sport by 2012, it doesn't do much for me either.

    London, How do I Hate Thee? Let me Count the Ways, 1, 2… 2012

    Like Halley’s comet or the launch of new iPhone ads, it is a momentous occasion when you wake up to a buzzing design (and online) community eager to talk about a logo. The last sighting of something like this was four years ago, with UPS. How times have changed since then; now dozens of blogs are on it and hundreds of non-designers are intrigued. I even woke up to fifteen e-mails with the same subject line: Olympic logo of London 2012.

    along the same lines as middigit, it strikes me as a cross between a reversed Rodins "The Thinker" with someone playing at "I'm a teapot." Must have my cognitive senses on full as I also see a chap in the woods pinching a loaf and asking for some paper :wink:
    Mind you it also looks a bit like Meska from a distance, old boy bent over with his walking cane waving "Cooey!" :happy:

    Chicago logo is OK at first, but 5 mins later it's boring - gonna look at that for 9 years?

    Class? of 1930?
    it looks like something with that futuristic style from the '30... me don't like.
    the problem with the olympics logos is that they want it to be a "mark", and "transpire" modernism, and usually it doens't and it sucks.

    When I was reading this in the Metro Newspaper this morning there was a funny comment: 'Whats Lisa Simpson doing to that poor man' I nearly burst out laughing!

    Wonder if they would every go back and redo it after this widespread hatred of the design.

    Washington Post said this morning that it cost $800,000 (dollars, not pounds) to make the logo. Good work if you can get it.

    not a chance...doing so would show a sign of weakness in an already disrespected (nonrespected...?) government... they're gonna keep it, and they're gonna rub it in our face every chance they get...

    @ inpeace: if you stare at any logo for more than 5 mins it'll get boring, and if you are staring at logos for more than 5 mins, i suggest you find a hobby. :p
