[quote:Anonymous Coward 1331430:MV8zOTYwNjVfMjkzMTY4MzRfNzc1MkRFNkQ=] Figure I'd bump this old thread instead of starting a new one, as I just learned about the logo's cost and question the waste of 400,000 pounds. Why? It's like the military spending $30,000 on a toilet seat. Five years have passed since the logo's unveiling and I don't think the public has warmed up to it. Do you like it anymore now? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/olympics_2012/6718243.stm Here are some logos the public came up with, many people said it took them only a few minutes to do, and they are so much better: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/6722205.stm So what's your theory about why THIS logo was chosen? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics#Logo [/quote]

I could come up with a better logo for a lot less.

London's £400,000 Olympic logo - an inspiration or a puerile mess?
IT WAS designed to unite and inspire the nation, but yesterday the newly unveiled logo for the 2012 London Olympics was condemned as "naive and old-fashioned" and "a puerile mess".
The Games' organising committee insisted the £400,000 invested in the logo - which comes in lurid shades of pink, blue, green and orange, and is meant to be a graffiti-style play on 2012 - had been money well spent.
