Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the official logo of the 2012 London Olympics:



Seriously.

Really.

Who knew that Tangrams was the sport chosen to replace Softball?

If they had enough people putting in enough effort ... they might have been able to come up with something uglier.

Olympics

that's all I could, this is exacerbated by this line from the explanation:

It symbolises the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part - not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more.

now is it just me or does that sound like a "come to london our chicks will blow you"?

It looks like one tangram person blowing another.

Apparently you're not the only one who thinks so (http://community.livejournal.com/userpicks/346096.html):

It looks like a man trying to have sex with a pelican that's sitting on a stump.

Someone else remembers Tangrams! I spent half an hour not too long ago wracking my brain trying to remember what those were called!

And yes. Atrocious.

Okay, so I'm not the only one who wants to print out the logo, cut out the pieces, and make it into a sensible shape?

Good.

i sorta see the 2012, but why is there that one rhombus in the middle? is it supposed to be 201'2? given that its pink and yellow, someone make the obligatory british people are weaklings joke and get it over with.

its almost as if some teenager was bored in paint and said "you know what's edgy AND ironic? pink jagged lines."

[chebutykin.livejournal.com]

How terrible is that logo if I didn't see the 2012 until you actually mentioned it?

[butterflymama3.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is just me but is sorta looks a bit like a swastika to me.

Those look like weird lions.

Well, that logo does offer the benefit of potentially causing epilepsy.

Seriously. (http://news.com.com/Epilepsy+fears+nix+animated+London+2012+logo/2100-1028_3-6188994.html?tag=nefd.top)
