    From the article: Launching the brand at the Roundhouse in North London, London 2012 Chair Seb Coe said: "London 2012 will be 'Everyone's Games', everyone's 2012. This is the vision at the very heart of our brand. "It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold and act as a reminder of our promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world. "It is an invitation to take part and be involved." What a twat: this looks like bird vomit: I wonder if the old-farts that run the Olympics will object: it is the stoopidist logo I've ever had the misfortume to lay my eyes on. It sucks and we should be ashamed of the message it gives.

    "When people see the new brand, we want them to be inspired to make a positive change in their life,” Mr Blair said. Presumably instead of getting totally pissed off at the waste of £400K the new brand actually is, and wishing that he had gone as soon as he announced his resignation instead of wasting millions of taxpayer's money on a jolly to Africa.

      The 2012 London Olympic logo[^] appears to be a silhouette of Lisa Simpson giving head. Let's hope that the universally-negative comments make them change it.

      It's not very good is it? Looks like a logo for an Ecstasy pill or an advertisement for one that carries the Olympic rings on it. Hey maybe that's were what the graphic designers were doing when they came up with the idea.

        The ones sent into the BBC by people who had knocked one up in half an hour are much better. I want my £400,000 back.

                The only consolation for me is that I just moved out of Livinston land so shan't be paying the £25 a year for 20 years (Yeah: like that'll be the end of it) that all Londonistaners pay toward the fiasco that the Olympics will become. And don't get me started on Tony B Liar and Gordon Broon. They're spit-roasting the UK.

                    How long will it be before the logo is changed and changed it probably will be, the many sponsors will make their opinions known. After all, would you use a distinctly amateurish logo alongside your own company's slick livery. Imagine the Coca Cola corporate identity embracing the logo as it now is - probably unthinkable!

                      I don't think it's called a tax :-) It is purely to pay for the Olympics and is added to the council tax that Londoners pay. I have to say, though, that I think your local taxes are far higher than in the UK but you do get much better services. We don't have a clue.
