I'm not even British Tonto ;) but I'm embarrassed by it.
Just looking at it, the fact that is is "2012" has the potential to look like someone throwing a discus or shot-put.
But that is just a f**king mess.
You don't have to be British to sign it, so work away. ;)
Get it changed!!!! :-[
Dont change it at all
Keep it looking like that & they will look like some bunch of pr1cks :D

I know! I know! Its one of those Kryton Factor puzzles which was used to make people look foolish and make Gordon Burns look interesting.
I hope they have copyright on that logo, otherwise people will just copy it :D
That is shocking bad.
Is the final task on the apprentice to come up with the London olympics logo on powerpoint?
It actually spells out 2012 but it takes about the 4th look to realise this!
It looks like a big pink Picasso painting of an elephant to me.
What about this revised version?

it hurts to even look at it ffs. someone was probably paid a small fortune in consultancy fee to come up with it...
God thats bad, looks like someone squatting having a dump!!!
The committee spent £400,000 on the logo for the games!
Suppose that counts PR and promotion and today's launch but that is an astounding amount for such a symbol of crap!
My favourite logo is still the one from Italia '90 no matter how cheap it looked, really stuck in the mind

If they wanted to do that, we should have been the '0', sure we're already made for it with a big Lough Neagh shaped hole on the middle.
Looking at the logo, I think that's ballix anyway.
At least, I hope it's ballix. ???

Nothing would really surprise me, FB. However, the Games were not awarded to the UK, they were awarded to
London. In fact, the Olympic Charter expressly forbids events from being held outside the host city, except where necessity (e.g. yachting) or logistics (e.g. soccer) demands.
EG, you maybe right. But London 2012 keep promoting this as an All-British event.

Aye, but only because they're relying on British taxpayers to stump up half the cost! ;)
These games are indirectly responsible for the introduction of the congestion charge in Manchester, the gov decided to with draw the original level of funding to pay for the MetroLink extension, and the council have to fund it by other means
How's about this one?

Epilepsy fears over Olympic logo
The new logo for the 2012 London Olympic Games is to be removed from the organisers' website after fears it could trigger epileptic fits.
Prof Graham Harding, who developed the test used to measure photo-sensitivity levels in TV material, said it should not be broadcast.
Charity Epilepsy Action said it had received calls from people who suffered fits after seeing the animated logo.
Organisers London 2012 said it was looking into it as a matter of urgency.
The jagged emblem, based on the date 2012, was unveiled on Monday.
Failed test
Professor Harding is an expert clinical neuro-physiology and he designed a test which all moving adverts need to undergo to check they will not trigger a reaction in people with epilepsy.
He told BBC London 94.9FM: "The logo should not be shown on TV at all at the moment.
"It fails Harding FPA machine test which is the machine the television industry uses to test images.
"And so it does not comply with Ofcom guidelines and is in contravention of them."
London 2012 told BBC London: "We are taking it very seriously and are looking into it as a matter of urgency."
Christopher Filmer rang BBC London 94.9FM to say he suffered a seizure while watching the logo on television and his girlfriend also suffered a fit and needed hospital treatment.
"The logo came up on TV and I was thinking about the 2012 and then I was out," he said.
Epilepsy Action said it had been a hot topic on its website's messageboards.

The Metro morning freebie here in ingurlund were doing a cut outof each shape so you can make alternative logos.
One of the better ones was K9 staring at two ducks.
