matsalleh Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I looked again and I like it now. The reason for this is that if you look with the right pair of dirty minded eyes, it looks like a woman bent down, performing a 'sex act' on a man. Well done that designer! That would make it a suitable logo for our politicians.TB says he wants us to be inspired by it. Bring it on !
Jabberwocky Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Crap innit? I bet of all the millions that were actually "Spent" on its design, most of it went into peoples pockets. It looks like something a heavy smoker would cough up.
Bloomdido Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 First petition I've signed in years. It had to be done.
miniminch Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I had thought the designer of the album sleeve - The best of Kajagoogoo and limahl would have never been asked to work again - I was wrong
lizzmobile Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 WHAT an utter pile of cack. I quite like the road sign one. *Ponders other potential elements of a decathlon*
Kingmaker2 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I see the BBC have already dedicated a whole page to readers "Alternative Logo's" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6719747.stm There are some great designs there, ALL of them look much better than the official one! Looks to me like the Olympic committee may have to eat there own words with regard to not changing their minds on the logo that they have chosen!
Jabberwocky Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Someone mentioned it looking like a crap beermat as seen through the bottom of an empty beer glass. Seb Coe wasnt at all pleased when he heared thet.
plekhanov Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Going off topic slightly the following criticism of the logo is one of the most pathetic attempts to blame 'political correctness' for everything I've seen in quite a while: Tory MP Philip Davies, a member of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, said: "Bright pink is certainly not the colour I would have chosen to represent the United Kingdom. "I suppose it sums up the politically-correct world that this Government appears to inhabit." Source What the hell has political correctness got to do with this? In what way is bright pink 'politically-correct'? Not that it matters anyway as it's apparently designed with 'colour changing animation' (It's up on the BBC site in several colours other than pink) so Mr Davies bizarre attack is as inaccurate as it is stupid. Perhaps if so many constituency associations didn't select kneejerk, partisan, hack, morons like Mr Davies for winnable seats a few better decisions would get made at the highest level in this country.
SimpyTimpy Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I looked again and I like it now. The reason for this is that if you look with the right pair of dirty minded eyes, it looks like a woman bent down, performing a 'sex act' on a man. Well done that designer! haha i see that! Back to the idea of the logo though... c'mon... why did anyone pay millions for a logo anyway, nevermind how good it is. I could knock one up on Photoshop better than that for a fiver lol
growler Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 "These will be a Games where everyone is invited to join in." Anyone fancy coming down to enter the triple jump with me? Why do they make these stupid claims? __________________ If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. I'm game i can't remember the last time I had three jumps in a day.
