WAIST OF MONEY

At a cost of 400,000 pounds you would think that the people at Wolff Olins who designed this mess would of put a bit more thought into it, especially when you consider the fact that they had a year to come up with it. one employee is quoted as saying its "well thought out" and that it would "be a source of pride for the London 2012 Olympic games" (YEAH RIGHT)

It seems to me like they have taken the money, forgot about designing anything and at the last moment decided to give us a picture of what can only be described as Lisa Simpson performing an indecent act on her knees..... I know the logo was aimed at the younger generation but is there really any need to make it rude?

And if it wasn't enough to spend vast sums of money on the logo they then made an advert to promote it which had to be pulled cause it was found to cause seizures in people with photo sensitive epilepsy.

Its a good job we weren't in a finantial crises when we decided to spend this money or Lord Coe would of been hung from the tower along with all the other members of the london olympic commitee who think that spending (squandering) vasts amount of money on logo's is okay.

this money should of been used to promote the games in a far better way by starting a training academy for young people to get them interested in sports so they may progress to be Olympians themselves. As for the logo, well any animal at London zoo given a paint brush and paint could of done a better job.
