Someone on B3ta.co.uk made up a 'Goatse' Olympic logo and sent into the BBC:
http://www.boingboing.net/2007/06/04/london_2012_olympic_.html
It was taken off the BBC website, but London News used it as an actual logo from a viewer, whoops http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1224/530088950_b0d4f91765_o.jpg
If you don't know what Goatse is, I'd advise you to look on Wikipedia rather than Google!

I like that, apart from the colours.

They should go for something more curved - the current one is just too wooden - I hate it.

'Graham Coe' (any relation to Seb?) sent this in to the BBC News website as a possible origin for the logo.

it's terrible and what bugs me is it's a case of that's it and hardluck if you don't like it - you'll just have to get used to it. Also, why is there a little dot in the middle - does it signify anything ie, the designers brain size??
if we can't design a logo what hope have we got of sorting the transport, venues etc. two hopes - bob hope & no hope

It would never be allowed though due to the way the olympic rings have been altered

I like this one. Much neater than the real one.

It does look so much better in the 3D version, but what that video shows I think is they'd be better off using a different colour for each bit - seems more vibrant then, and less - well, ugly!

A cropped version of that is now my MSN display picture, but no-one has asked about it yet.

Following previous years with their simplistic design, I had a go with, urgh, Paint. It looks terrible because I kept resizing it, but if done by the same artist, it could work, maybe without the black Big Ben lines.
Here my attempt, for what it's worth:
