At a cost of £400,000 for the design, aren't we rather getting shafted rather than sucked up to?
Well, it's not taken long. Below the fold for the animation, courtesy of Theo Spark.

By now, you've probably seen the official logo for the 2012 Olympics in London. Personally, I kinda like it, although as a logo it's got just about everything wrong. Take another look at it, and tell me if you don't... [Read More]

Ah - sweet innocence :) I don't believe for a moment you are as daft as Seb Coe and all the Olympic worthies who OK'd the design.

Do the shapes used in the logo actually mean anything? Considering it looks like something made using left over construction paper in a primary school art class I think I'd be justified in witholding the fraction of the penny it cost me in my next tax return.
