2012 Olympic logo backlash

[Delta-Pheonix]

For those who don't know the logo for the 2012 olympics is a garish....thing , http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=460205&in_page_id=1770&in_page_id=1770

I hope they scrap it and find somthing better.

[Suki]

How on earth is that thing a swastika? And for the count, a swastika, isn't a bad thing.

[Nano]

They're keeping it, also they had to change it because they thought it might cause an eperletick shock (Not spelt rihgt I know) it was on the news last night, I think it's meant to look like Europe....

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Damn that's fugly.

BTW PRONS IS GONNA BE AT 2008, HELL YEAH!!!

[VidelCoolGirl]

God; I don't even watch the Olympics, so the logo really doesn't affect me in anyway. The Goatse deal was better.

[Delta-Pheonix]

1 year to draw and cost £400,000 bit of a rip off am I correct?

[Alice Catherine]

^^NOOOOOOOO! NO GOATSE! PLEASE!

OMFG I hate my cousin because of Goatse.

He showed you goatse or he actually manipulated himself in that way infront of you?

[{NG}Fidel]

It doenst look remotely like a swatzika but its still fugly.

[Raziel_MGS]

yea and the swastika used to mean a good thing before those crazy nazis!

[Vaikyuko]

The big pink thing is the logo? Yeah, that really doesn't look anything like a swastika.

It does look extremely ugly, though. Someone must have been high when designing it.

[Tom Servo]

Looks awful. London is supposed to be the design capital of the world - the logo reminds me of those 80s pamplets about AIDs you find in GP offices that have the same garish colours and geometric design.

The 2012don one is classy.

[CrossboneGundam]

It's crappy, but it looks nothing like a Swastika.

[Delta-Pheonix]

Ok it doesn't look anything like a swashtika but according to the times a jewish person complained it did.

[Vaikyuko]

1) It's the Times.
2) Apparently that person is retarded. :P

[sailornyanko]

I'd like to know how much did the guy that design it charge? 4,000? Whatever it was, it was a big rip-off.

I can only imagine how fugly the Olympics mascots will be.

[Suki]

Ok it doesn't look anything like a swashtika but according to the times a jewish person complained it did.

Well jews are retarded.

[Haro!]

As a jew I think it looks exactly like a swastika. Hell we should get our best lawyers (and jews are already the best lawyers) and sue the olympics. I mean its bad enough Jews aren't good at sports and now they throw this at us?

We've been in enough oppression. It's total war!

[master terrence]

Experts warn symbol causes epileptic attacks

wth??...

I don't thinks it's that big a deal. I think the colors are gay, but that doesn't bother me. I think the londonites are taking things just a bit to extreme with a petition and what not. I'm not going to lie though, 400,000 pound is ... alot. I'm sure they can place some decor around the symbol to make it look cool. That's what interior design is all about. Some people are just to close minded to see the potential of "ugly" art.

I wonder how the KKK and skin head feel about this, a gay swastika certainly puts them in an awkward position.

[Bernard_Monsha]

It's crappy, but it looks nothing like a Swastika.

It looks like it was designed by Richard Simmons for the cover of Sweating to Old London.

[max payne]

What is it supposed to be? I just looks like a bunch of shapes thrown together with the word "London" written on one of them.

[Bernard_Monsha]

It's a game to see if you can make out the 2012 before you go into an epileptic fit or your eyes melt.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

It looks like the number 2012 <_<

...Just because he's Jewish bosen't mean he's not a moron. It's a game to see if you can make out the 2012 before you go into an epileptic fit or your eyes melt.The one in the TV advert flashes in an offensive way... no not like that. <_<

[max payne]

It kinda looks like a little dancing bloke to me. It can be made out to look like anything really.

Edit: It also looks a bit like a chicken

[Pariah]

Attempting to associate with the swastika is a pathetic attempt by small minded people to portray it as something which it clearly isn't, for no good reason.

Sure, it's not a great logo, but there have been worse.

I like the one by James Wren, on the right side, down a bit labeled Wheels Within Wheels:

Probably not cute and loveable like the fuwa!

If the olympics were in Japan these things would have been selling like hotcakes!

[superplough]

Apart from looking a) stupid and b) like 2012, it looks to me like the 12 at the bottom is trying to look like Great Britain/Ireland.

[D the Hunter]

+1000 on stupid looking waste of money, also it dosen't look like anything.

I think that one is the smartest, but I like the wheel clamp one. I just find it funny.

i like the 1st one on there, the way London is spelled with 2012 is freaking perfect.

but yes that "official" one is plain ugly.

[kenshinbebop]

1. It's not even remotely a swastika, society is just yet again finding some way to bring controversy into this world.
2. In technicality, a swatstika is really two anglo-saxon good luck signs crossing each other, inadvertantly meaning bad luck. Even though it was used by the Nazi party, it really doesn't mean Kill Jews or some **** like that. It's nothing anti-semetic, it's just taken that way because of it's association with Nazism.

[Sushikins]

That thing is ugly, that being said, I prefer the Winter Olympics anyway.

[kenshinbebop]

They should wait 100 years. :/

All over again

[Animematt55]

^ mind explaining that to me Depression?

And yes the logo looks like crap. Do I care? Not at all.

[Depression]

The above picture was a design used on a Burger King ice cream cone wrapper/cover. People started complaining it looked like the Jihad symbol.

[superplough]

Lol icecream=jihad

"Can I please have some neapolitan flavoured jihad please?" :lol:
