But I find it great being so. I am graphic designer myself. As I saw it, I was like ok... hmm... Actually it is OK! Not the same old.

But you people need to get over it!. We are still in 2010, and your worrying about a logo for the London Olympics which is in two frinken years, and also its not like the logo is going to go round killing people, because its so terrible looking. Oh and you people from other country's committing on how hideous it is, and asking why there is a British flag and the Big Ben on it, well the reason why some of the logos has this on it, is because its the LONDON OLYMPICS 2010. Yes London, its not gonna have a Belgium or French flag on it. DERRRR! To all u foreigners out there moaning about the logo, its not gonna change! so get used to it!. well i live in London, and yes i admit that the logo for 2012 isn’t great.

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

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

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 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... 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.
