New Olympic logo stays, says Jowell

View the logo here -

Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has insisted that the controversial new 2012 logo will stay, as inspectors began a three-day examination of London's plans for the Olympic Games.

Ms Jowell admitted the graffiti-style logo had caused a "storm" after it was unveiled last week but said it was "adaptable" and could be used in a "variety of different contexts".

Asked whether the logo was worth its £400,000 fee, Ms Jowell said: "I think it was, yes."

The question is: what in the world is this logo meant to represent? The public reaction had been less than reassuring - "absolutely awful" and "garish, irritating, conceptually vacuous, aesthetically ugly and a piece of s**t". Strong words! To me - speaking as a Brit - it does absolutely nothing to represent the country. In fact, it does absolutely nothing.

This small detail caught my eye though –

Hmm. £400,000 to come up with that... Yes that's tax payer's money well spent.

New Olympic logo sucks, says ChiKeyMonKey.

But what do I know, I don't get paid 400'000GBP to draw complete crap.

I suggest

2012

And on every Gold medal the endlessly funny, completely British saying:

"You lucky lucky baastarrd"

In other forums, they're juxtaposing the symbols on the logo to show that what they are intended to convey to the subconscious, is Zion.
(not sure where I saw the threads -- could have been Surfing the Apocalypse Message Boards, or the Truth Seeker, or Rumor Mill News)

Once it's pointed out, it's easy to see.

400,000GBP for so little? Wonder who's nephew was awarded the contract?

The Olympics get crap ratings to begin with, relatively speaking, now all the people that are watching will be having seizures on top of it.

Peace

It's all way and good her saying that but if she get's kicked out under Brown's regime then you can be sure it changes as Brown know's he's slipping on thin ice that Tony Blair left him if the public keep up the outcry over the lameness of it i bet you he will soon change his mind.
