Russethouse Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Have we really got to look at this for 5 years ?http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/olympics_2012/6718243.stmNearly all the examples the BBC show are as good if not better, but I like the thought that the chosen 'its not a logo' may have been inspired by Ricky Gervais............[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 £400,000 - at least its probably only lottery money. Of course there are a 101 other causes that it could have benefited, but hey..........I like 1,2, 7 & 8 - but that probably because it took me quite a long time to realise the 'not a logo' actually says 2012 [:(][:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I don't like it. Too messy.........and harsh and fragmented. £400,000 says i could do a better one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 A guy on 'Breakfast' was saying that millions of pounds have been spent promoting the olympic logo (the rings) over the years yet instead of maximising these they look like an afterthought.

Clair Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 At first, I thought each figure represented an olympic sport and I spent a few minutes trying to think of which was which before realising what they meant together... [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makfai Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think they have just started with a map of the British Isles...enlarged Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man...thrown it at the wall and this is what stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 I spent a few minutes working out if it was a stylised map.........[8-)][8-)]Apparently there may be a problem already: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6724245.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I don't like it at all. I prefer logo4 but does logo 11 represent all the money that's going down the drain??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Extract from the test match special blog1345 - Eng 113-1 The umpires amble towards the middle and here come the England batsmen...Lots of emails pointing out that the Olympic logo looks like Lisa Simpson getting up to some mischief. Don't see it myself, although it has been a while. It's Sammy with first bung after the restart and he gets one through Vaughan with one that cuts back off the seam. Tony Hancock...sorry, DJ Sammy into bowl, and Vaughan clips him away for a single. Decent over from Sammy - good line and length, he looks to have settled.

Just Katie Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I heard on the radio today that The Sun had some sort of monkey to paint a logo and it was voted better than this. I wonder what department he worked in?[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
