This is the official logo for the 2012 Olympics in London.

 


Crap, isn't it?

nicfit 06.04.2007 09:14 AM

If "official" means "we were drunk when we picked the logo" , it's not that bad. In any other case, it's really really REALLY awful.

Beuuuuuhhhh !!!!!... What's that shit ? What does it mean ?
Paris logo was better...:rolleyes:

sonicl 06.04.2007 10:19 AM

I think it means "We got a kid from da hood to do our logo on the cheap".

nicfit 06.04.2007 10:20 AM

Damn, even the font is horrid.
edit: can't they change their mind in a 5 years span?

sonicl 06.04.2007 10:23 AM

Oh, they will change their minds. Several times. And in the end they'll pay someone £1,500,000 to design the official official logo, and it will still be rubbish.

Inhuman 06.04.2007 10:49 AM

that looks terrible. They probably spent tonnes on that too. Probably took the guy 5 minutes

king_buzzo 06.04.2007 12:00 PM

Guys, should I go to Pukkelpop '07?

nicfit 06.04.2007 12:04 PM

No, stay at home and write on the forum.

king_buzzo 06.04.2007 12:14 PM

Roiley?

nicfit 06.04.2007 12:20 PM

No, go and have loads of fun. I have no idea of the lineup, actually.

king_buzzo 06.04.2007 12:22 PM

Yeah, the site was updated, it used to say the lineup and now its seems to have dissapeared.

Danny Himself 06.04.2007 12:22 PM

I've been invited to Pukkelpop 07.

Fuck that. Too far.

king_buzzo 06.04.2007 12:24 PM

The Olympic Rings are supposed to be five different colours, proper nouns are supposed to begin with a capital letter and decent graffiti-style writing is supposed to be legible. Nice bright pink though.

Actually, considering how much over-budget the rest of the gmes is, I think it best that we only spent five pence on the logo.

BRUSSELS, May 31 (Reuters) - A mini-platoon of soldiers will be deployed to the Belgian forests to tackle a plague of hairy caterpillars that are causing allergy outbreaks in humans.

Procession caterpillars, so-called for the way they march in lines through forests, are covered in long, toxic hairs which cause dermatitis and respiratory problems and account for up to 80 percent of doctor visits in the affected area.

"A bit less than a platoon, about 24 soldiers and airmen, will be deployed to help the fire brigade and civil protection authority combat the caterpillars," Belgian military spokeswoman Ingrid Baeck said on Thursday.

She said Belgian armed forces were also deployed in Lebanon,
Afghanistan,
Kosovo and the Congo but that they had a duty to help the local civil population.

Equipped with super-size blowtorches, the soldiers will spend six weeks in the eastern province of Limburg from Monday, waging a tree-by-tree war on the scourge of caterpillars, which cling in groups to trunks and branches.

"In teams of two people, they will go through the forests and burn the little animals off the trees," said Baeck. "There have not been enough people to do this and I think we can make the difference."

Previous attempts to rid forests of the caterpillars, which number in the millions thanks to mild weather, have included spraying pesticide using a helicopter and setting traps for the adult

I agree, they should have and used the money to donate or something. Unfortunately, this logo cost them...
£400,000

Hip Priest 06.04.2007 04:35 PM

I kind of feared as much.

I have to admit that I hadn't looked at it that way. Seriously, if something as simple as the Olympic logo can help people realise just how useless and pathetic our government is then it will have done a wonderful job.

finding nobody 06.04.2007 05:08 PM

Enlightment in the form of a logo. If it were only that simple man!

 

Ron English inspires me though

Disney as saviour. Ugh!

Hello Joel.

finding nobody 06.04.2007 05:29 PM

Hey Sebastian.
Soo glad I'm not working today. Every single day off I get they try and call me in. Some nerve those people have!

Danny Himself 06.04.2007 05:37 PM

I just got done watching the uk screening of yesterday's MTV movie awards hosted by Sarah Silverman!

She wasn't so good at the start but by the end she was on fire.

Hip Priest 06.04.2007 05:38 PM

My co-worker is away all week, so I have a shop and community centre to look after all on my own.

Employers, eh? I fear that one day my nice little job will be no more, and I'll have to get a job with a proper boss. I like not living in the real world.
