Full Version: Official Logo for London 2012
Worst. Logo. EVER.
It's hideous. Nobody likes it apparently, other than the London Olympics organizers.
Mayor of London attacks the design. (If you click on Picture Gallery/Slide Show you can see logos of previous Olympics).
BBC viewers send in their alternate logos

As the Brits would say, "It's bloody awful."
WHAT is that? Wow. Bad. Period.
They should've gone with Springy the Springfield Spring. 
Homer: It’s fun for the whole family, and the ends are razor sharp to protect our nation and its interests.
Bart: [touches the end and gets pricked] Ow!
Homer: God bless America.

That first alternate is really good, the official logo is utter crap.
OMG I thought nothing could top Izzy, the last minute mascot from Atlanta. I was WRONG!!!
BTW for those who didn't know Izzy was short for "What is it?" How bad could you get for a mascot? Atlanta, loved your Olympics, hated your mascot.

With Vancouver over, attention now turns to the next Olympics--the 2012 Summer Games in London.

Spent a week in London earlier this month.
It is, by FAR, my new favorite world city.
Hoping to get back there for the Olympics.

Thanks for the information and I can't wait for the 2012 games. I hope that I'm able to attend.
Terrible Logo.
First it was the ugly logo. Now it's the bizarre-looking mascots. What's going on in London town?

I LOVE the Olympics and wish London all the best, but....these mascots look like something off the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. When I saw them on the news, I kept waiting for the Pink Ranger to jump out and open a can of whip-ass all over them.
It took me about five minutes to figure out that the Olympic logo actually spells out "2012" in a --how can I put this charitably? -- highly stylized way. If you can't figure out what the logo is, that should be a clue that it's a bad logo.
As for the mascots, no comment is necessary or would even help. WTF?

Seriously, A Simpson hummer for a logo and two dildo-appearing mascots for logos...
Who is London 2012 paying for advertising and marketing- AWFUL!
Iran claims that the London logo is racist and are threatening to boycott the games because it clearly spells out the word ZION.

Iran is threatening to boycott of the 2012 London Olympics because it claims the official logo for the games resembles the word "Zion," which is a biblical term for Jerusalem.
Bahram Afsharzadeh, the secretary-general of Iran's National Olympic Committee, says he sent a letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge in which he condemns the logo as "racist" and calls upon other Muslim countries to join in protest.
