London 2012 Olympic Mascot

After several months of secrecy the mascot design, said to be 'aimed at children' and 'fun', will be unveiled later on today. If you'd been given the brief what mascot would you choose to represent the London Olympics? And, once you've seen the new design, what do you think of it?

Very cute.
Reminds me of the Go-Gos that DS and DD collect.

I'm afraid I am a complete soppy dote and got a little bit teary at the end of the explanation vid

i think they are great. I agree they are like GoGos - very appealing to my DSs. Quite brave not to go for the cuddly easy option

They are just GoGos and my kids used to collect those, but I'm not going to allow them to get hooked them. They have enough in their collection already.

No idea what a gogo looks like. The mascots are OK in a pretty dull sort of way. DD saw them on the news last night and thought they were brilliant. Luckily for me we live out of the UK so we won't be having yet more stuff to buy to fill our overflowing flat with.

I think they look like Telly bots or
Tellytubbies to a lesser extent.

I think they are cheap and bland, if you didn't know they where the 2012 mascots you would never guess it, on that front I think they are a failure, a mascot should be instantly recognisable, give it a few years and people would be like oh yeah they where from the Spanish Olympics or the Korean Olympics etc.

I think they should have had an animal like a fox or more then one, (= more money) 3 foxes one gold, one silver and one bronze with the union jack outlined on there faces in the white fur and there respective colours.
