I hadn't heard that there was something wrong with the 2012 Olympic logo

Of course there's something wrong with it... We had little kids design it. Of course, we couldn't just get a good-looking logo or a professional designer... Personally, I won't be watching the olympics next time. It's too great an embarrassment.

No we didn't, Wolff Olins designed it at a cost of £400,000. They did the BT piper as well if anyone remembers that. So we did get a proffesional designer to do it and "ggod-looking" is objective you may not like it others might. Personally I think it looks like the "TISWAS" logo even if it ended 10 years before I was born.

Personally I think some of these would be better suited...

Sorry for using up so much space.

That's really messed up. Especially the Queen! The long one on the bottom looks like it's the World's Fair, not the Olympics. I love the top left one. That one actually looks promising!

Wierd design, but I don't think it actually has any special meaning...

Quite interesting, thank you for the picture reference Pixie214. It's very helpful to see so I can understand it.
