Like Lisa Simpson Giving Head
In case you missed it, the logo for the 2012 London Summer Olympics was unveiled not too long ago. (It's coming to get you!)

The reaction? Not great.

A lone voice shouts...we liked it.

Aaand petition!

I... I needed to be told about the head thing because god help me, I looked at that and went 'is that a swastika?'

Of course, now I have creepy Simpsons incest leaping to mind when I look at it.

Thanks, London.

Wait... isn't this the London logo that won originally? Not the burning pink monstrosity...

That london logo actually has all those elements they are now trying to say are "bad" and the new logo not having those are what's great. I find that ironic. My bet is they made their nifty logo and realized upon winning it would be a bitch to replicate on everything they need to. That's my theory on the matter.

Anyhow... I don't like it all that much. And where are the olympic rings? How can you have an olympic logo without the rings? Then all you are left with is a year and city. I'd want my olympics merchandise to have the rings since I'm there for the olympics not London. >_>;

Is anyone else really hating the font they used for "London"? It makes me twitch even worse than the colors do. Whoever designed this thing should seriously refund london their money. It's obvious they didn't put much effort into it. I refuse to believe this logo took almost a year to create and needed that amount of money. It sucks. And the Pink one is the worst of all of them.

To quote Jon Stewart ('cos I just got finished watching that clip), "There's an old saying in the ad industry: don't give people seizures."

I think his interpretation of it as a slot machine going down on a stop sign is slightly less brain breaky.

They at least should have used the Olympic colors. Having everything pink makes it all run together. When I first saw it, it took me a few seconds to realize it said 2012 and then I had to explain it to the rest of my family (which isn't an easy task with an aunt who can barely hear and refuses to get hearing aids).

Congrats London! In 2012 you're going to be the laughing stock of the world when everyone gets to stare at that ugly logo every day for two weeks!

Can I be excused from being amused that the designers said that the only reason people didn't like the design was because it was too "edgy" for them? Sounds like someone's been reading the Anne Rice bumper book of self-justification!

Oh, for God's sake. It's a horrific logo, but it takes a bit of talent to see the giving head thing, and a lot more to get on the news and say it.

I mean, I come from fandom and am hopelessly juvenile, but surely these people should be trying to maintain some sense of ... something.

Or maybe not.

No, really. It's not my Favourite Logo of All Time or anything, but I think it's definitely the kind of thing the Olympics need to give them some much needed punch. All the logos are starting to look the same. And that temporary logo for Chicago? Boring as hell. The more I think about this, the more in favour of it I am.
