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...

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

Certainly my favourite.

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.

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 ;)

That is really quite horrific! Please tell me the advert made, was in fact made by a 10 year old with access to Microsoft Paint and not a top designer with too much money and time to spend on it!?!?

I think I could probably do better by spilling coffee on my desk and drawing around the dried residue with with a random assortment of Crayolas... :-o Did I work out how they managed to design it?!

That really is VERY poor. I really dislike being a member of the UK at times :) Think it's time to move to America and live down the road from Ladybird!

conception wise it was a good idea to attract children. But implementation: A bit iffy. I doubt kids like the logo. But we need a poll on that.

But are kids really interested in the olympics and does the logo look fun and child friendly?
