Thats what we are good at in the UK, spending silly amounts of money on something which is absolutely useless.

Ever heard of the Millenium Dome, which the Government spent 750 Million GBP on, only to close it down a few years later ?

Yikes. That logo! It looks like someone wimped out and just had their 12-year-old heavy-metal-fan design it in paint. Horrific.

That logo for london is very ugly. I don’t think one person likes it. But you at least it gets people talking about london 2012.

Yea, I feel the same way - I could have done a better job at $10,000 CAD! Which would be 5,000 GBP. Not including teh video - the video woudl have cost $50,000 with editing. But it wouldnt’ have caued epileptic seizures.

Sad but true, the logo is for real. I think most elementary kids can come up with something better than that.

HA no, my logos are much better! I’m about to put up a new one soon…

Anyhow, I found that news on the National Post, and I thought I’d have some fun with it.

Damn, that’s one fucking ugly logo! Chicken scratches that at first glance I thought it was trying to promote “20 R”

And all that time wasted to convince whoever is in charge to take it down. Politics, fucking politics.

But still after so much money went into such a logo maybe they should use it to teach them a lesson in humility.

Unless of course you’re lying about all this and you made it just to see what people would think about your logo design skills. Hey Jeff is that what you’re doing? haha.

Haha yes, promoting a logo contest may end up cheaper than that..

It’s probably an outrage in terms of tax money gone to waste as well.
