A logo worthy of the London Games - both are a waste of money.
What a terrible desig, If you believe the bull$hit banding rationalisation, then you'll believe anything - including the games coming in on budget (whatever that is this week).

Is the Mega-Mosque that's being planned by fundamentalist groups with the backing of Ken Ahmed Livingstone incorporated into the logo?
It will be the largest Mosque in Europe.
Lovely.

What did Elitist say? All he mentioned was the mosque. how is this racist?? does this mean that it's anti-semitic to say the word "synagogue?" grow up.

What's racist about not wanting a 70,000 capacity Mega-Mosque built for the Olympics?
Many Muslims have signed a petition against it because it's backed by fundamentalists

Hurray! Another Have Your Say which is reatively moderated, thus allowing the usual BS to be spewed forth by a handful of people who don't seem to have anything better to do with their lives.
Oh, the logo's rubbish.
Now back to the usual crap that gets put into these forums. Burn all muslims! There, now an army of idiots will vote this most recommended and I can be smug that I spent some moments of my life here instead of doing something more useful.

So how much did this exercise in crayonning in, (that frankly any retarded 6 year old could have bettered) cost the UK tax-payer?
Pitiful & Pathetic...the legacy of these games will be that a few huge multinational companies get extremely fat at the expense of Londoners in general & the UK as a whole.

i dont think the olympic commity paid £400,000 i think they got paid £400,000 by the makers so then they would use it. the head of the olympics is now using the £400,000 they got paid to buy some cocaine.
New 2012 logo: Iconic or awful?
I bet... The person responsible for this studied "design" at some trendy art school, even though he doesn't actually have any artistic talent, because was too thick to study proper subjects yet too lame or posh to just get a job. He's probably in his thirties yet still dresses like a student, lives in a studio in Clerkenwell that Daddy bought, and has a three-haircuts-in-one hairstyle. He's probably called Piers or Dylan and has a girlfriend called Arabella. He's an ar$e.

Apologies everyone...... the picture on the bbc is just the wrappings that came off the logo when it was being unveiled.
The photograph editor published the wrong snap.
The real logo is - Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and an Asian family from Hackney having a group cuddle.

Newworldorder complains about comments being deleted. The same happened to me the other day - There was nothing in what I said that was against the rules but some little hitler at the BBc obviously decided my comments were not 'Guardian' enough to be published. And has anyone noticed how discussions suddenly just disappear sometimes? Usually on controversial subjects.
New 2012 logo: Iconic or awful?
A primary school could've drawn this. Is this suppose to represent a city home to great architecture, fashion; a city of both history and modernity?
Although I wasn't passionate about the olympics being held in London; but I think organisers has gone far as to winning it that the least thing that they could do is to create a logo that will best reflect this victory.
I'm sorry, but it absolutely s*cks. The word s*ck is too weak a word to describe my utter disgust.

Trying to be positive, I suggest:
1. Drop this logo - FAST
2. Open a competition

Evidently no-one involved does patriotism either....
When someone from Neo labour, the socialist failure incarnate, tells you something is iconic, it invariably is not.
I hope that these internationally focussed clowns are not designing the logo for "Britain Day".

You would not know real patriotism - ""my country right or wrong"" -

When you make spurious allegations about patriotism I will respond to them. My country right or wrong is the antithesis of patriotism. A true patriot tries to inmprove their country. AND following your logic why are you not supporting the government, right or wrong?

Following on from what our mutual friend CALTECH 1 has said, why is it OK to be called leftliberal Andproud but not BNPRIGHTANDPROUD, I am interested?
[neworldorder],
Just surmising here, but maybe he was banned for his racist comments and not his name? I would guess after the filth he posted today the Caltech id is banned too. Back to the logo, I would like it to have a London icon like St Pauls or The tower incorporated. The olympics are identified by city not country.

Good riddance to that charmless little shape. We should choose a new logo refelcting the real power base in the UK. Something like a green crescent.Fascinating that Bob Woolmer was'nt murdered after all. His death has nothing to do with tableeghi jamaal or the fatwa issued against PJ Mir, media manager of the pakistani "bobslaying" team team.That would just be too awkward.

Two questions:

- if you insist that fellatio is obscene, what would be an non-obscene depiction of this?

Even if that were true, it still gives the lie to the myth fostered on HYS that the British people hate the government. I suggest the right are in for a big shock at the next general election when Brown gets another 5 years. We've never had it so good! Including the NHS.

Proof if ever it were needed then that apathy and nausea have created a society that's been dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. 1997 could be forgiven but not the last two.
Perhaps the dumbing down is representative of a nation that thinks an olympic logo can be pulled out of Barbie glitter bag!!

This is the only thing on which I have ever ageed with Philby , thus I would suggest it's highly likely to be true. I simply can't believe that even an electorate stupid enough to vote for Blair on 3 occasions will be quite so foolish as to fall for the odious Boy David's amateur dramatics.

The Olympics already have a perfectly good and immediately recognisable logo - the five coloured rings. Why must London waste our money paying some artistic retard to come up with such rubbish? All they have to do is take the rings and add "London 2012", not too difficult and cheap. Better still let someone else waste money staging the Olympics and avoid another Millenium Dome!
A new jagged emblem has been unveiled as the logo for the 2012 Olympics.
The symbol, based on the date 2012, is to form part of brand which is meant to be in tune with the modern world and catch the attention of young people.
