Ottae Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well, If you haven't seen it, that's what it looks like. The BBC Article Personally, I don't like it too much and it appears that many other people don't either and the 2012 team have had to defend it. "London 2012 team defend new logo" "'Oh no' logo" So I thought it would be a good idea for people here to show their creativity and make a new London 2012 Logo. This is only a bit of fun so don't take it too seriously! The logo must include the following: •"London" •"2012" •The Olympic Rings Here's some logos other people made to give you some ideas I'll try and make one as soon as possible as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Blacks Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah don't like it myself, looks more like graffti done by some 15-year-old than a professional artist. Out of the alternatives I really liked (which I can't find ) is one where basically London is mapped out and the Union Jack as the background of the area, with London 2012 written near the bottom. Simple, yet effective. It looked more professional than that £400,000 worth utter crap. Another one I really like: EDIT: I found it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottae Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 EDIT: I found it! I agree, saw that one and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunzen-R Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I saw the logo on the TV and it's very very ugly, and it's "flashing" always. The French make better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) [/img]http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/43010000/jpg/_43010067_richard_416.jpg[/img] I love this one. And not for the life of me can I comprehend why this isn't the official logo. All I can guess is they picked the sh*ttest one out of the bottom of a pile just so they can get media attention. Edit: from one of those links- Our emblem needs to be modern, bold, flexible and as relevant today as in five years' time. A little tricky when it is already 25 years out of date?

Kippers Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 That logo looks like it would ahve been better suited if we had the olympics in the 80's. the way in flashes just reminds me of the 80's and it's style looks representative of that era../ 習うより慣れろ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What sort of new-rave crock-of-sh*t is that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funk3h Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Lol.If they payed me 400k for that, i'd be a happy mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCJ. Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What sort of new-rave crock-of-sh*t is that?! Thats exactly what I thought. "We're trying to appeal to the younger generation..." People are going to hate it even more in 5 years. I liked this one personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth. Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm liking this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Blacks Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Okay, I think we all know it looks like utter crap, no doubt about that lol, but does anyone reckon think they're going to change it? I don't see it happening, do you? No matter how many people show their disgust torwards it, I don't think whoever is in charge will throw away £400,000 down the drain, to buy another design. There is already enough financial problems as it is. F*ck me, the London 2012 Olympics was a shambles from the start...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCJ. Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 £400,000 is such a minute sum of the final cost, that it wouldn't surprise me if they redesign it. After all, it is the face of the Olympics. Petition It's closed now, but 48,000 signatures in 2 days says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullen Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What sort of new-rave crock-of-sh*t is that?! Looks like Lisa Simpson giving head. lol I guess they did a pretty bad job at it, looks like a poor attempt to make something 'modern' and 'trendy', but the truth is that all this 80's retro trend is going to be over in no time. In fact, that logo looks already outdated to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crokey Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Have to say I think the logo looks sh*t, I agree with Jayza, that logo looks like something they used on the first ITV Chart Show back in the dim and distant 80's. If they think it's modern then they are bunch of ****wits who need a slap. They say, 'yeah but it looks better when its animated'... I've never seen an animated logo on a t-shirt, mug, newspaper, pen, pencil, hat, sportsbag, Tetley tea-bags, Mars Bar, bottle of Lucozade, cuddly toy etc etc etc, basically anything that would bear the logo and doesn't have a screen attached and a playback device which requires power... you get the point... obviously they don't, numptys. I do like this one (same as PCJ pointed out) Simple, effective and gets across the point, although the other one that merges 2012 into the text of London looks good as well... quite 1337 really. @GTA1: did you make that logo... cause I love it.

Blackadder. Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Sort of looks like Lol 2 Don Yeah, but I saw their design on TV the other day, and I changed the channel immediatley Looks sh*t when it's animated too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandthefter Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 One of the best designs i've seen, why couldn't we have this instead of that stupid pink "modern" splat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokiesmoky Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i dun live in england but damn that is ugly! i live in vancouver where 2010 olympics are coming up, and no complains about our logo the inukshuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.1 Loonie Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There have actually been a sh*tload of complaints about our logo. A totem pole would've made more sense if they were going for the native angle. Now, I think a good representation of Vancouver would actually have something Asian in it.
