Below is a link from the bbc displaying the new logo that they decided upon:

Linky

Oh dear...Looks like a duffer. To me, this logo is cheesy, retro and wouldn't look out of place in a 1980s anti drugs campaign or on an episode of saved by the bell. Something tells me someone believe bad art was great art. Especially comparing it with other attempts at the logo appear to be miles better. Will children honestly be appealed by the olympics? If at all?

Hell, the logo is probably far too retro to appeal to kids.

So your opinions on this sh-(horrid) logo...

Oh dear...

£400,000, a year to make, and epilepsy fears? Oh and the fact it's the wrong colour and looks like a smashed up plate. I think we should all try and design one ;)

Why isn't 'London' capiltalised?

Apparently it's not "cool" to capitalise words anymore.

Looking at past logos, which have been quite good, it's really disappointing that we had to go and make a crap one.

Why not this one by Richard Voysey?

Certainly my favourite.

The Chicago 2016 one looks good.

I think even this one is better than our current london 2012 logo

edit: I like these two aswell. 1 2

Horrible, but at least it was a bit different. £400,000 for that? Jeez, I'd have done better for free, and I can barely even draw!

that`s horrible in every way.
most horrible was the price tag though. £400,000 so the day before deadline someone can smash a plate and trace it.

what a load of rubbish.
