The Radio Four analysis seemed to be torn between it being an encounter between Bill Clinton and Lisa Simpson and a cross between

Either way, it will be interesting to see the effect of the massive public ridicule that this logo will receive.

I reckon it will be withdrawn within a month.

Have to agree - if a month. There have been some very understated responses from the Olympics team, along the lines of “There has been some negative reaction to the logo”, loosely translated as “Everybody hates it, it's a total embarrassment“.

Funny really - when I first saw it I laughed and assumed it MUST be a wind up... but I've watched the video and oddly it's growing on me.. certainly looks better in the other colours than pink.

You have it all wrong. It is not a logo - according to Seb Coe it is a brand.

I hope that clears it all up.

Be great if they do withdraw it.

Just seen this!!
Is it some sort of f***ing JOKE?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Sweet Jesus, it would appear that it is NOT a joke...

"This is the vision at the very heart of our brand," said London 2012 organising committee chairman Seb Coe. "It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold and act as a reminder of our promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world. It is an invitation to take part and be involved."

Well, Lord Coe, may I suggest you take it as an invitation to go f*** yourself?

3rd "Headline" on BBC Newsnight tonight...

"The Olympic logo - is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Lisa Simpson doing something unmentionable?"

I think this logo's days are numbered....

As an athlete, I don't find it inspiring at all. It looks bland.

iSeb Coe:

"It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold"

Er! No it doesn't. Tthe venues from what I remember are all smooth and curvey.


This

on the other hand DID.

Actually I think it's done its job as EVERYONE is talking about it.

yes, everybody is talking about how SHIT it is

If it was universally liked not many people would be talking about.

It has generated a lot of discussion (on here as well)

I suspect they were trying to produce something that looked like er.. "street art"

In that respect it sums up London very well. I have something similiar in spray paint on my front wall.

That is very bland in my opinion. I would however have liked something with the Thames in it.

The original poster was good...

Sadly the days where you could strip naked outside parliament are long gone.

Bloody New Labour.

It occurs to me that if anyone other than the London 2012 Olympics wallahs had created and displayed that logo they'd have been rewarded with an on the spot fine AND an ASBO.
