London 2012 Logo

Yeah but how does this represent London, it looks like a person getting a blow job!

Ah, this mean you're saving your scathing, predictable, used a million-times criticism of it for tomorrow then Nini?

It does look utter tosh, but then isn't everything in modern marketing? Personally I find it better just to sit back and leave the marketers to it.

Yes, the brief to every marketing company:
"create me something everyone will hate"

That looks great Martin, apart from the diffculty international visitors will have with recognising the circumcised penis wrapped in a shiny condom shown in the first "2"

Otherwise 9/10!

London 2012? The London text is too small, and there is too much colour. IMO a simpler design would look far more proffessional, and would make the 2012 Olympics in London stand out far better.

and even better if using a professional spell-checker!

It's an embarrassment to the world of design and the rest of the world. I think we need a more conservative look.

I agree that the chosen logo isn't conservative enough and the 'rough' interpretation of '2012' initially looked almost childish to me, maybe the fact I was looking at the pink version added to that, I'm not sure.

With regards to your contribution, it's much more in the style of what I was expecting, although I must admit I saw the arrow-esque union flag parts of that image and it reminded me of the Dad's Army opening titles - an odd thing for me to associate with it, but there you go!

I don't know for sure, but the IOC have very strict rules on the branding so I doubt any use of the Union Jack would be permitted.

Two branding consultants are arguing on the Jeremy Vine Show on Radio 2 now.

I've also been humming 'Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler?' since I saw them.

Metro now running a compertion to see what you can Now design out of the 4 shapes,
