Must have been a committee decision (horse designed by committee is a camel), no one individual would allow his/her name to be associated with it. Take a look at South Africa's logo for the 2010 World Cup, and make a comparative analysis about what it says about the country and the games.

It was supposed to subliminally place the word zion in the minds of the British public. It worked, because we now associate the shit logo with zion.

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 don't see what this whole "world map" thing's about.:? It looks like a graffiti artist's work. Done on a wall with spray paint in under 10 minutes. Yeah, well done. £400,000 down the drain.

Totally uninspiring. $800,000 for this??? Come on... many designers would happily make one for free even! And better output. I don't see the communication at all. Not at all. Maybe it's targeted audience is not of this world. Yes! We earthlings would like to invite aliens to our Olympics! Make a huge ass print of this thing so that it can be seen a million light years away. This is akin to the rebranded Baskin Robbins logo. Totally uninspiring. $800,000 for this???
