It has taken over a year to design this.
2012 logo

I have something similar made out of lego bits that my three year old designed.

think i heard on radio that it was £400 000

omg

The logo has been removed from the official website of the Olympic games amid claims that it could cause an epileptic fit.

An absolute farce, it would be funny if it wasn't so much wasted money.

paulaplumpbottom · 05/06/2007 20:23

why could it trigger a fit?

southeastastra · 05/06/2007 20:25

you can find a clip on the bbc news page (and it does look like the Tiswas logo!)

agree belgo absolutely stupid

lyrabelacqua · 05/06/2007 20:27

It's bloody awful!

It can cause fit's because the bit where the man divers in and then goes to the logo has to many flashes in.

It a bit like when programmes have a lot of camera flashing at film premiers.

Those ones on the BBC site are a hell of a lot better. How bad is it that someone using paint and someone on a 10 minute break can come up with something so much better.

Particularly liked the 2012 turning into the running man.

tiredmamma, belgo put a link on further down the thread.

Really good ones, the people who were paid £400k should be ashamed.

TwoIfBySea · 05/06/2007 21:35

tiredemma sorry!

I have a head cold! Or as dh would say "I am dying with the flu!"

mumemma · 05/06/2007 22:30

8 people have had seizures watching the promotional video so as mentioned earlier, it's been pulled as it could cause a full scale epileptic fit!

What a disaster! I think they need to have a very quick rethink. It's been compared to David Brent's dancing and a monkey sitting on the toilet!

NKF · 05/06/2007 22:34

I thought the video was good. I'm keeping an open mind about the logo.

Furball · 05/06/2007 22:41

now This is a fab one.

Furball · 05/06/2007 22:43

ha ha - the last image on that link is far more appropriate! excellent

They need to swallow their pride and admit they've cocked it and redo it before we make ourselves a laughing stock before the games even start.

southeastastra · 06/06/2007 17:47

haha wwmc!

they will change it, they have no choice do they!

i really really irrationally dislike sebastian coe

Eleusis · 06/06/2007 18:12

There is an online petition to have it changed. I tied to sign it earlier and it failed. I guess lots of people are busy signing it. Can't remember where it was but if your google "2012 petition" it will come up.

JackieNo · 06/06/2007 18:28

There's a nice bit on this blog about it - I like the 'From rule to cool to Fool, Brittania' line.

Furball · 06/06/2007 18:37

there seems to be a petition about eveything these days

BellaLasagne · 06/06/2007 18:37

Why didn't they run a competition on Blue Peter and get a panel of Olympic bigwigs to pick a winner?

Furball · 06/06/2007 18:38

I googled 2012 petition and it came up with 51,900 results
