Almost like everyone forgot these are supposed to be the youth games, remember LOCOG's bid video, hm?

Yeah, I love that one. It fits with the ribbons theme which was great. Could they have kept that or was that a 'candidate logo'?

No, they weren't allowed to keep the candidate city logo for the actual games.


Can you, or anyone else, clarify *why* that is? I mean, if the IOC accept (and I believe they formally approve at the bid stage) each candidate logo, why does it need to be changed again. I'm aware of no extra elements they have to add.

Are either of you a nominated "youth representative" or a member of the tax-paying public who are paying for the Games?

In my local paper, they've got a load of kids to redesign the logo. Now, they are crap, but apparantly all the children hate it.

Arrow The "yoof" it was designed for hate it
Arrow The 25-55s who are paying for the Games hate it
Arrow The over 55s who remember the last Games in London hate it

Here's a website you may enjoy, lots of old Olympic logos of the past along with many candidate logos of cities that did & didn't host the games. There are some on there as poor as the London 2012 logo:

When can we expect them to unveil the mascot for London 2012 ?

If the logo's anything to go by, it'll be some kid with a baseball cap on back to front, wearing bermuda shorts and saying "radical!" a lot.

Are my ears going bad or did the BBC say it took one year to design?
I could make something better on paint... in five minutes.
