"london 2012 Olympic Logo: yay or nay?"

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

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...

Its certainly a bold choice but I think its ok actually. I think its better than most of the user submitted alternatives on the bbc website anyway.

I've even heard comments that it looks like a swastika... But have you seen the official website yet?

Uh gearish.

How much did the BBC logo cost? I could have done it for half that =)

So far the world is not impressed with our Olympic logo =/ I even find threads about it on american webcomic forums =S

I think they should go back and rethink it. They have plenty of time, so don't brush all this off and say "ah well tough you'll like it in 5 years time".

that logo costed 400,000. Was it worth 400,000?

I recommend that they rethink it (and get their money back from the company that provided it).
