Yeah, eye catching. That's the ticket...
The great Olympic revolt: new logo triggers epilepsy | the Daily Mail400,000 pounds to develop THAT? I think they got ripped.A spontaneous public revolt over the controversial 2012 Olympic logo broke out yesterday with organisers facing mounting calls to scrap the design.
As nearly 35,000 people signed a petition demanding that the image be axed, Olympic chiefs were forced to pull a promotional video amid warnings it had triggered at least ten cases of epilepsy.
Update - I thought it might look better in monochrome - perhaps the designer was colorblind?
Nope. Doesn't help much. Oh, well.

Who came up with this piece of trash? Are they related to the nitwits who came up with "Izzy"?

What do you get when you cross the 'LOVE' stamp from the 1970's with traumatic flashbacks of that same era?
This logo, obviously.

Linda -
No, Izzy was a design masterpiece compared to this.. this.. Ghod-awful ugly piece of... um... moldy garbage.
(Almost called it crap - but crap's usually brown.)
Maybe the designer was colorblind? Perhaps it would look good monochrome...
Well. Scratch that bright idea... Maybe it's a joke? A bet between designers - and the loser got to draw this?

AJacksonian -
No, the LOVE stamps weren't nearly so garish...
Personally, I think they tried hard to come up with a logo nobody in their right minds would want to rip off...

J - A nice little site with some of the LOVE stamps. And then there is this one...
I personally get a headache looking at the original 1973... green, blue and neon red. Makes my eyes water in pain....
