Diego Varen Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm surprised nobody from the UK (mainly England) has made a Thread about the worst Olympic Logo to date. No, make that the worst logo to date. Hopefully they won't use the logo when 2012 does come, but everyone who has attempted to make a 2012 Olympic logo is much better than that. I'll say what I don't like about it later. Please discuss and I'll edit this Thread later, when I find a better picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Jones Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I don't know what you all complain about. Suckey logo for a suckey over commercialised event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think the guy who was making it must have sneezed. Badly. It looks like something my 4 year old sister would draw. Or maybe she could do better, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Not to mention it can give people epileptic seizures. No, really. Oh, and... isn't London meant to be capitalized? And isn't all-pink ugly? And aren't the rings meant to be different colours? Like, you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm surprised nobody from the UK (mainly England) has made a Thread about the worst Olympic Logo to date. I didn't bother making a thread, because I still had a vain hope that (especially after all the fuss about the epilepsy-causing TV commercial of the logo that they eventually had to edit), that the horrible logo would be replaced by something better. The very first time I saw it, it looked like the letters 'S-O-R' to me instead of 2012. And 's-o-r-E' was exactly how my eyes felt after looking at it again. *sigh* I think it's absolutely horrible. Pink for the Olympics? Puh-leeze. And the organisers spent thousands of pounds on the design? I thought they were kidding at first, but, no. They did. Too bad the publicity firm responsible for the horrible looking logo didn't do any research on how not to cause photo-sensitive epilepsy before releasing their first commercial showcasing it. Doesn't instill a whole lot of confidence in me that the money was well-spent. The designers have said they were trying to cater to the 'younger' crowd, but do pre-schoolers really watch the games, let alone purchase any Olympic merchandise? *shakes head and sighs with dismay* Unless Scooby Doo is running in the 500m sprint, or Sponge Bob is swimming in the 250m freestyle, I don't think any of the 'younger' crowd will really care about the games. I'll give the organisers one thing though. The logo did give them a lot of publicity. Whether or not it's the right kind of publicity remains to be seen. I for one am certainly not purchasing anything with the logo on it. Bad enough just to have to look at it for the next five years as they try to promote the games.

Pho3nix Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 "London Lite, in its 5 June edition, printed a text from a reader pointing out the resemblance of the logo to Lisa Simpson performing oral sex" I fully agree.

JediKnight707 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I just now noticed that it said 2012 in the shapes. Is that some sort of subliminal message, that forces young'uns to watch the Olympics. Which, as Ray Jones pointed out, is nothing to what it used to be. The Olympics used to be...THE OLYMPICS! But now its nothing. No one knows anyone who competes in any of the events. Name five people who participate in the javelin throw, or the long jump, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 That is absolutely the worst logo I have ever seen. I am sorry but I am going to say it: it is a monstrosity. The five rings are supposed to represent the five continents that compete in the events. That pink whatever it is an eyesore. They pay people to do this? The Olympics used to be...THE OLYMPICS! But now its nothing. No one knows anyone who competes in any of the events. Name five people who participate in the javelin throw, or the long jump, etc. Actually the intent for the Olympics was for amateurs to compete for pride, honor and glory. That was what the Greeks intended when the games were first begun. Now I have to say is that there are disappointments. It seemed like they were loading the Dream Tean, the US b-ball team with pros. That stunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Galt Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I still think that only high school and college-level competitional sports are worth watching; Professional leagues and the olympics are soulless and over-commercialized. by the way, I all I can see in that logo now is lisa. thanks guys.

milo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It wouldn't be such a bad logo if the colors didn't clash so hideously. Hot pink with yellow trim. It hurts just to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 There is not a way to say this politely, that is hideous. If they paid the firm over $1.99 for its design they were robbed. Does it suppose to have some type of hidden political meaning, like the five shattered pieces of world peace? Or is it just suppose to be ugly?
