I read the story on the BBC this morning about the London Olympics logo, and I am much amused that when I went to reread it just now I first found the link for readers’ alternative submissions …. then a forum piece for debate (i.e. complaining) ….. and only then did I find a link for the original story. And the first pull out quote in the article is a link to a piece about the amount of, er, dissatisfaction the logo has generated already. That comment was there this morning so apparently no one outside the instigators likes the thing.
It is pretty godawful. They say it will come in “shades of pink, blue, green and orange” – to which I say they made a big mistake in unveiling the pink. That last link I give above is good reading; it covers the reaction and some of the comments are pretty hilarious. I really like the first entry in their photoset of reader attempts, though.
Now! Back to work!
