That London Olympic logo which the organisers/officials are defending and say we’ll have to get used to and cost hundreds of thousands of pounds is only being defended because it cost so much, in my opinion.
If it had only cost 5 grand, they would have seen how bad it is and not felt stupid to face up to it and say ‘lets move on with a new design’, but to admit to wasting that kind of money on something rubbish would rightly make them look beyond stupid.
Maybe just slightly more dumb than defending it.
They could let the public submit ideas for ten pounds each and get a much better logo, and their money back into the bargain.
Show up the company that did such a nasty job.

I forgot about London’s logo. Didn’t that cause seizures in small children and the frail?

Yeah, the 2012 London logo gets a category of fugly all to itself.

I love the Beijing Friendlies. But a few seem to be missing. Where’s Shu-Tup the Censor? Lok-up the prison guard? And shouldn’t that antelope be being ridden by a Chinese soldier?

How about a special shout-out to the atrocious 2012 London logo?
