Default New 2012 London Olympics Logo

What does everyone think? It's hideous at first glance, granted but there's something about it we haven't seen yet....

It's supposed to appeal to the younger generation.

Someone on b3ta summed up British yoof 'culture' quite nicely...

Its no wonder the Olympics costs Billions to stage when the logo alone costs £400,000.

The logo is grossly overpriced and if this cock up this size was made in business the only option would be sacking - if not criminal charges.

It just beggars belief that it cost SO MUCH... What was done in twenty minutes shown on the BBC site are really good.

We have so much symbolic in this country, the colours red white and blue, our flag, The Thames, Big Ben, Royalty - yet on purpose they didn't use it. What a HUGE mistake to make.

I don't know about you lot, but each time I've seen this logo it seems distorted.

What a shame those in Government can't be proud to be British.

Development for the logo should have been around £125,000 - £150,000.

Wouldn't like to be the company who produced the logo - the Olympics logo must have become one major albatross for them.

The colours are a joke alone... Why break away from all the other traditionally nice designs, I just don't get it.
