BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 More comment of the visual kind http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/gallery/2007/jun/13/1?picture=330019430 I like this one "An infinite number of monkeys take a break from their current work on Shakespeare to do another contract" Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 it looks like Blood spatter. I saw that pattern in an episode of CSI...the guy put a gun in his mouth and blew his brains out due to his total lack of creativity and that was the pattern produced. Link to post Share on other sites
base40 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 This one was far better Aren't we going to be treated to some cute "characters" as well as the lousy bj logo? Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Yes it is. That was the one they used for the bid, right? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes that one was much nicer. It actually looked quite good. But that was for the bid, so they had to spend more money for the actual games, you see. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Lord Coe answers the question: Quote: Why have you refused to ditch an Olympics logo that not only looks cheap, but was even a health hazard? The logo itself wasn't a health hazard - the issues involving photosensitive epilepsy were caused by five seconds of animated footage we used as part of a launch film and we obviously regret any problems that may have caused The logo is undoubtedly very different from any other host city's logo - and that was deliberate. Our logo is bold and brave because our Games will be bold and brave. It's a very flexible logo, designed for the multi-media, digital age, and one which will evolve over time so it is as fresh in 2012 as it is today. So.... now you know that now only does the new logo symbolise the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part - not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more. But... the games will also be bold and brave, as shown by the logo. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 i'm glad to see they can predict future trends as well. i wonder what the UK olympic uniform will be - happy pants perhaps? and i am terrified as to what sort of song they come up with. my money says it will be the sugababes Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It will be bound to be even naffer than Sugarbabes. I bet Mr Coe defended the cost of making the logo as well, the fool. Link to post Share on other sites

We wanted it to be utter shite, just to get the publicity. It was a bargain at $56 billion, in fact we wanted to pay more!! Lord Cole was a Tory MP. Did you know that?

2pints-mate 0 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Time to have another chuckle at the London Olympics logo. We are seeing it more and more over here now. Like a fine wine and other quality things, it just improves with age! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Oh too funny.... The shape with the olympic rings in it looks a tiny bit like Australia - in an abstract kinda way! What is it supposed to be? or represent? And why is it pink? Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 what a waste of an opportunity to show the world that London is once more the desgn capital of the world. Cosmopolitan to the extreme, at the cutting edge of social ecconomic integration with not just Europe, but Mars as well. and then the logo Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think we need some alternative suggestions. Here's mine. I spent a lot of time on this. I think "It symbolises the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part - not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more."
