Well, I personally think it's horrible very tacky and a kid could of made it.

I also think everyone seems to be forgetting we've got the beijine olimpics next year.

Heres there logo


http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a236/corkie/logo_beijing.gif

Simple.

What's you judgment on the logo situation. I know it doesn't matter but it will be a logo we will see for a quite a while

Only five years. One month and 23 days...

[sol]

I don't like the look of it either, but I've got 5 years for it to grow on me. :laugh:

[Fat.Rat]

ewww thats horrid

[Tanser_Man]

I think it's very imaginative and very different from any logo produced for the games, ever before!

[Dan_]

It looks a complete mess.

[Ruth*Star]

Its not the best logo in the world but not the worst.

[Sophii3x]

It's ok. It's different and unique, which is good!

[Matt]

:shocked:

That's terrible!

[Red Moon]

I wonder how much they paid for that?

They don't deserve to be paid!

[Slartibartfast]

Is this what is supposed to represent London and Britain?? A big pink and white mess? What (now probably ex-) design idiot came up with that??!!

[Matt]

When I first looked I didn't even know it said 2012!

[GhettoSuperstar]

Its quite weird but intruging.

[Matt]

As sol said it's got five years to grow on me...

Should this be moved to sport BTW?... not sure...

[Spike]

It's different but horrible the beijine olimpics logo is much better

[Matt]

I think they should rethink the logo... billions of pounds plowed into the Olympics and then that?!?!?!?!

Lol. Very very good demonstration.... some karma is in order!

[Bells]

LMAO Dan... you proper deserve karma... is this some kind of joke?! £600,000. :shocked: I wouldn't mind having that job!

[Matt]

£600k to design that?!?!!!?!?!

There's only two smilies apt for this post:

:laugh2:

:shocked:

[J.C.]

I believe it cost £400,000,Tho I can hardly believe it.

It's disjointed when it should represent the coming together of peoples.
Its aggressive in it its apearance.
In no way does it represent London.
Who saw the 20 12 bit when they first looked?

And its hardly surprising that by 10 o'clock this morning the BBC showed ideas viewers had sent which the branding expert described as far better.

:mad:

[lily.]

Dan, did you just get karma for nicking that image from Afinkawan?

Shame on you.. :rolleyes:

Ahem - CLICK (http://www.afinkawan.co.uk/)

[Matt]

I'm not that bothered it was still a good demo!

Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They could have paid some of the people on here less than that who designed eyes and they would have got a far better logo.

No wonder the games are over budget.

It's worse than ugly and I didn't think such a thing existed!

This gives me a great idea for a new thread!

[Dan_]

They probably gave some bloke with a big reputation the money to come up with a design and about an hour before it's meant to be done by they asked him if he's done it yet and he just gets on his computer and does it in an hour and laughs all the way to the bank.

[Bells]

I agree Dan... which is pathetic and makes me wish I could earn money like that. :sad:

An hour more like 20 minutes..... I'm sure it didn't take matt an hour to do it.

[lily.]

LoL.. u tell him off Ash..

The thing is Dan, they paid some company a massive sum to come up with the New Conservative logo and it looked like a crayon drawing from a 5 year old. It's the business to be in apparently.. *cha ching*

If you mean me an hour to do my eye, it only took me 15 minutes to get it perfect :laugh2:

[Lance]

I can't believe they were paid that much to design that.

There are people on here who could do better. For much less.:bored:

[J.C.]

This logo represents the fears of most people that money will be thrown down the drain. They could have done a competition and given a very happy winner £20,000.

As if I would do such a thing to my dear friend Daniel... I'm shocked that you could suggest such a thing... :shocked:

[GhettoSuperstar]

Its very late 80's early 90's.

[Matt]

"There have been two London 2012 logos: one for the bidding process and a second as the brand for the Games themselves. The latter, designed by Wolff Ollins, was unveiled on 4 June 2007. This new logo is a stylised representation of the number 2012, with the Olympic Rings embedded within the zero. The logo is available in a number of colours, and for the first time, the same logo is to be used for both the Olympic and Paralympic games.

Early public reaction to the logo, as measured by a poll on the BBC Web site, has been largely negative: more than 83% of the first 16,000 votes gave the logo the lowest possible rating.

The logo has been quickly derided with an online petition for its removal receiving 8000 signatures within 2 hours of it being released, and that on Monday afternoon."

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_2012#Logo

[Red Moon]

I think we should be writting to our MP's about it.

Ooooh second one today then :wink:

[GhettoSuperstar]

ROFL!:whistle:

^ Much better, Matt!

[Matt]

Thanks Lance. Creative yet not messy methinks.

Unlike that monstrous official creation.

[lily.]

It was only this morning that I realised it said 2012. I thought all those purple shapes were meant to represent a (fat) stickman running or something.

I'm not sure I should have admitted that... :rolleyes:

[Lance]

LMAO ^

It is rather obvious...:tongue:

[lily.]

I'm having a blonde moment... make allowances for me Lanceypops!

[Lance]

We'll let you off.

I know that shape perception decreases as you push on in life, like yourself.:dance2:

[Dr43%er]

As someone mentioned there was the bidding logo. What was wrong with that?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a191/123andrew/london2012.jpg

[Lance]

That's a much better logo.

Why couldn't they have something like that. It's simple, legible and classy.

[Amy]

It's not that bad but It's not good either.:rolleyes:

What I don't understand is why they did not get art students etc in schools to design them then do a vote for a select few.. or something like that :puzzled:

[Dr43%er]

It's simple and does what it says on the tin and to represent London they have the thames running through it. I just don't see what the new one represents.

[Michael]

meh...dont like it, matt would do a better job, pay him 400 grand for it ! lol

[Dan_]

[Lil-Lindz]

That logo makes me sick, that shade of pink is awful

[Fat.Rat]

LOL Dan :laugh2:

[Michael]

Dan, BRILLIANT pic lol

[Lil-Lindz]

Lol dan i love it, sums up my opinion of the logo HA

[lily.]

Where'd you nick it from this time Dan? :wink: Lmao

From the gutter, I noticed your mind was still there.

[Matt]

Lol brilliant logo Dan :thumbs:

[Ruth*Star]

The thing that baffles me is it cost £400,000 to make that. its weird.

[J.C.]

Its a ridiculous amount to pay for a logo, and now on the news they are saying that it has started triggering epileptic fits.


Edit; I think I have just heard on the news that the logo is being withdrawn or partly withdrawn. May be its just the moving part but I'm not certain yet. ??

New Edit ; Ok. TO confirm then; It has been taken off the official website because of epilepsy. I think this must spell the end of it.
Imo

[Ruth*Star]

Because of Epilepsy???

[J.C.]

Yes, and luckily it gives them an easy reason for dropping it altogether. (Fingers crossed. lol) :thumbs:

Its like flashing lights which can also kick off an epileptic fit.

[BB-Rocks]

I dont like it but its better when it moves.

[Z]

That logo is a FAT MESS. xD

[Matt]

It's terrible.

If you can come up with better, there's a thread in the graphics forum!

[ben_evans_07]

i realli dont like it i am glad they have been forced to change it :)

Have they? I don't think they have...

[Sam]

I hate, its tacky and horrible!

[cc100]

Lisa Simpson, anyone?

[Michael]

dont like it at all

[Cody™]

jus been watchin the news and forget the logo, but the title sequence has too come under scrutiny! the flashing colours and fast imagery has been causing epileptic seizures! they may as well have thrown that £400,000 in the bin.

[Matt]

It's terrible.

[Michael]

yeah its really terrible, i think they will change it.

[Corkie]

Gosh, I didn't know this topic had so many replies.. i'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks it's a horrible logo...

I hope they do change the whole logo after the epileptic seizures that have been taking place..

I also hope the people who were affected by it are recovering..

[Rory]

Has anyone seen the favored one by the BBC? It mixes the 2012 and London in together. Not sure if it was posted.

[Linds_x]

Haha someone told me it looks like Lisa Simpson, giving sexual pleasures.

Now all i can see when i look at it is that!!

In my opinion its a complete and utter waste of 400 grand of the tax payers money!

I loved that logo! I'll find it and post it!

[Matt]

[Corkie]

That's really good... well done BBC

[Matt]

Don't think it was by the BBC itself but someone emailed it to them...

[andybigbro]

They should replace it with that one.

[Fom]

its grown on me.

the beijing one looks boring and predictable, it doesnt have to be difficult.

[Matt]

Apparently Parliament won't force them to change it.

BOOOO!
