Shit, and a big waste of money.

Really pisses me off how much they waste on art (like our town statue thing, for Ł30k, I could have made a better one)etc when we've got people dieing, and charities that could far better use the cash.

i saw the same thing on the news today


now 400k?? i wish they paied me that for designing the logo, i would have come up with something a damn site better.

400k is Zonda F money

looks a bit gay really, no offence to anyone but its probably so the gay brigade don't start complaining and marching through london 1millon strong, chanting how the 2012 logo is anti gay or doesn't represent the gays taking part in the olympics or something

it's a swastika, with brussels right in the middle...

Hope more people spot it for what it is and work out that Europe's being slowly taken over by Hitler's secret offspring. But the rest of the world will not do anything or notice until it's too late. Next thing we know, they'll be 'inviting' other continents to 'Join Europe'...

It's awful...bloody awful.

If it had cost Ł4 then maybe...I mean it looks like times were hard so all they had to rely on were some 5 yr olds and the only 2 crayolas nobody wants to draw with...pink and yellow...

400k? They probably had to bribe a big straight man the other Ł399,996 to make it pink...

Lmao@the pisstake pics though! Brilliant!

This is good, i like this one.

I loved the broken Swastika, i hadnt seen that shape in there before.

What a whole lot of w@nk the whole thing is. It reminds me of when Cosignia/Royal Mail whatever they are now called, spent something like a million quid changing the name and the logo!
