jelli Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here is another simple Londoner's attempt...<snip> That is far better than the official one, give the man who made that logo ?400,000, he deserves it more than the designer who made the official waste of space logo.

Lee G. Veteran Posted June 4, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2007 Anyone else see Lisa Simpson giving someone a bit of "oral pleasure" in that?Loads of people have said that to me, and I cant stop seeing it now :p Haha, yes, I see it :laugh: That logo looks terrible... I'm sure it'll be changed though.

40420_1437839287 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 As if the taxpayer hadn't coughed up enough money for another Millenium Dome type money wasting initiative, we go and spend ?400k on something that represents street life not sporting life! JEEZ!!!! I bet the designers charge ~?25k just to change the colours and the Olympic comitee will be like "yeah why not, not our hard earned money". The alternatives were a darn site better, and think, if someone had given even a 10th of the price, then over ?350k could have gone to feed the needy or other worthy causes. Thats where I want my tax money to go, or on health or the like, not on ****ing illuminous pink Mr Blobby created logos (apologies to those who don't know/remeber Mr Blobby (Noel's House Party)) Anyway, rant over...........

Fourjays Veteran Posted June 4, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2007 That logo is complete and utter rubbish. Hopefully it will be changed, although it will just be yet more money spent. :no: Here is another simple Londoner's attempt... Although ?400,000 is a bit much for a logo, I'd rather see the designer of that logo get it.

Shibby Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 LOL Someone call MTV back in the early 90's I think I've found some new adverts for them. The thing looks shattered, which let faces it the games will be as well.

Doli Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The thing looks shattered, which let faces it the games will be as well. Preparation for the games not going well? Its kind of funny/sad about how much is spent on the Olympics and then after the games your hope to break even with your new [what ever needed to be built track/pool/ski jump/ect...].

mattmatik Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Unless something spectacular happens before then, my fiance and I are making our first trip to England for the Olympics. I was hoping for the winter games, as I prefer more of the sports to that of summer, but it should be great nontheless. Those of you in London/England, has there been word on a time frame for tickets or anything yet?

TheDogsBed Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What an abominable, grotesque, and inaccurate reflection of the wealth of design talent that we have in the UK. I'm not even sure that this would have been fashionable in the 80s. Someone tell me just one way how it symbolises the Olympics, London, or the alleged "dreams and aspirations" of millions.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted June 5, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 5, 2007 I was expecting something Stonehenge-y but i am greeted with a reject from the 80's, it looks like a handicapped MTV logo from that decade.

Axel Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I was expecting something Stonehenge-y but i am greeted with a reject from the 80's, it looks like a handicapped MTV logo from that decade. 80's reject is spot-on. Exactly my thought when I first saw the logo. What a disgrace!!!
