[themoose]

Damn, this logo is an absolute joke!

Guess how much they paid for it.. go on just guess

(highlight: ) £400,000!

Somebody made a mock up of what it looks like

Most of these are much better than this;

(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/43006000/jpg/_43006883_sean_stayte_416.jpg is the best)

Seriously though, what were they thinking?

To be quite honest this Logo is ridiculous. As it is the Olympics will cost ££millions and then some idiot decides to pay that stupid amount of money for a stupid logo.

I think the mock is more suitable

 

[Matt8]

That is hideous. What is it supposed to be?

 

[themoose]

"2012"

 

[Tree]

Oh, I see that now. I thought it was an abstract dancing guy.

 

[Host Factory]

I could do better than that and im crap at drawing

 

[Jan]

Is that the final selection?????

 

[moneyballs2]

Is that the final selection?????

I think it is.

:lol:

think it cost 400k or 40k(one or the other), to make it appently the main logo animated, thats what there going to uses to put on shirts and the like

 

[Decker]

It was £400,000 - approx $800,000 so far and they think it's great.

I can think of a lot more that would benifit from that - UK Westminster Government - what a shower of...EXPLETIVE DELETED

 

[iBrightDev]

i will make them a new one for the same price, but, it would actually look good. :lol: anyways, i would actually do it free just to see my work go out across the world, and also so there would be a nice logo. i mean, come on, i have craps that look better than that.

 

[Host Factory]

i would deffently give it a go for 400k

 

[anhedonia]

Wow. I don't think that logo actually needs comment. Wtf?

They CAN'T be serious?

 

[Matt8]

Oh, I see that now. I thought it was an abstract dancing guy.

I thought it was a guy running. Apparently not :lol:

That is pretty horrible.

"This is the vision at the very heart of our brand," said London 2012 organising committee chairman Seb Coe.

Ha, you've got to be kidding me.

 

[Kwek]

I couldn't figure out what the logo looked like till someone said 2012.

 

[Karlo S]

It looks











BAD !

 

[themoose]

Honestly though, if the olympic commitee presented this as the logo a couple of years back then there's no way it'd be held at London for 2012.

And yes, this is the final logo, the one chosen, and to confirm they paid £400,000 for it.

 

[iBrightDev]

i never thought Brits were stupid, but, that really makes me wonder.




no disrespect to the smart ones here though, just the committee i guess.

 

[Keagle]

I hate it. It's to supposed to appeal to the younger generation. Instead, it repels me.

 

[Matt8]

1980 called and want their colors back.
