I think the London 2012 logo is pretty effective, because it’s so unconventional which gives it an edge. I can’t wait for the Olympics, it’ll mean a lot for London and be a huge move.

It seems to be excellent, but the logo of 2012 logo reflects cracking structures. Does it mean constructing new generation for olympic?

I recently saw this logo and decided to look into it some more. I can tell you that at first sight, I did not recognize it as “2012″, it really just looks like trash to me. I’m decently young and of the “modern age”, and this does not appeal to me in the slightest, it truly looks as if it just jumped out of the ’80’s. For all of the money they spent on this design, I had hoped that it’d be more attractive. I can’t understand how they look at this and think “based on our conception of advertising, this should go over well, therefore, we aren’t changing it” when it OBVIOUSLY hasn’t been received very well at all. The colors are too close to neon, and the shapes too sharp and odd. Not to mention, it doesn’t make me think of London at all.

As for the remark “…this disgusting emblem was plainly ignored, how American of them,” I thoroughly resent that. Americans haven’t ignored very much, which is exactly why we’re American and not English. I’d suggest that you not be so ignorant of history, Gedimin.

i think that the logo looks …well awful, for the amount of money that went into it they definately could have done better, and i mean what is up with the colours??? purple and yellow???????? its 2009 now and a logo like that is shameful, what must the countries think. I could have made that anyday, just give me “paint” and 1 hour… and no money at all and i could come up with something better. I think that the pictures above are far better and choosing that horrible coloured jagged logo will give london a bad name. I choose hope we have a good olypmics in London…

This is a reply to Welshbabe4 ’s comments: And a regular, down to earth, common logo can’t do that? for God’s sake, there’s no excuse, don’t try to tell us this logo actually does magic that no other logo can do.

I must admit this is horrendous. Nobody likes it at all. When I first saw it, I thought it was a joke. I don’t even know why London was chosen in the first place. Paris was the perfect candidate city (I am not even european if you were about to think this is a biased reply), but again, Pound Sterling actually do speak louder than Euros If I could describe London in one word would be ‘crowded’ and Paris would be ‘magic’.

The logo may look new and edgy to 30-somethings but to young people it just comes off as a rip on the whole nu-rave culture which is on the way out now in 2008. And the colours are TERRIBLE.

isn’t anyone upset that the bid logo was so elegant and beautiful, but this junk is the one they settled on for the games?

No Offence but, The Logo is FINE.
It’s supposed to be bright and catchy, something you can stick all over merchendise, you can’t fit half of them on a mug! People are supposed to see it and go, “ahh London 2012″ or “ahh Londres 2012″ or “Y’all it’s the London Ahhlympics” or whatever fricken land you come from.
