I see what it's supposed to be, but it looks silly.
like it's in japanese or something.
or a very crooked human figure.

It is meant to appeal to the youth...

I cannot see what it is meant to be.

Finally solved it!

The top part is 20 and the bottom part is 12, thus making 2012.

yeah. i saw it, but i thought it was a bit too difficult to interpret.

Here is a latest interpretation of the logo for the 2012 Olympics.

i see...similar to NYC at new year's eve.

It is an interesting logo

New event for the Olympics?

Why could the logo incorporate the two Os in the word of London?

They broke it!  :o :o :o

It took me a while to spot that!

Someone I know described it as one of those plastic puzzles you get ina cracker where you have to make the shapes fit together as a square.

I love that on the BBC page they mention that it has the word London and the Olympic rings on it.  ;D  They're about the only bits I recognised at first.

Why?

Why?
Graffiti on the walls?

No I meant why did it have to appeal to the youth?

I have a copy of an image which is a bmp and I cannot upload it. The image shows the 2012 logo with the graphics of the UK 80s TV show TISWAS. The graphics used are very similar.

Found it!

Why?
To quote Michael Hamilton, one of the branding consultants, "I love it. It's got vibrancy and youth and energy and fun. I think it will appeal to young people because it's different and attempting to really focus on them as a group."

Yeah.  I just don't get why it matters whether it appeals more to young peolpe than, say, grannies.  :-\\

There again, how about us Londoners?

The Olympic logo is not meant to be 'incorporated' into anything in this way...

The BBC found this out in 1984, when they jazzed-up the BBC1 ident...they got a rather stiff talking-to when the games ended...

Now a segment of animated footage promoting the 2012 Olympic Games has been removed from the organisers' website after fears it could trigger epileptic fits.

Knowing how many 'jobsworths' we've got in power over here, I'll bet all the events will be cancelled due to 'health and safety reasons'... ::)

just gimmie a tenner so I can go to the chip shop, 24 hour garage and then for a quick top.. this time choosing the reassuringly cheap option.

The website for the petition to change the logo for the 2012 Olympics is taking ages to appear.

I have seen those colours before....

Mr Blobby!

The International Olympic Committee has been touring sites in London as part of a three-day visit to assess preparations for the 2012 Games and viewing the logo...

Now that the fuss of the logo has die down and still no one likes it, even Mayor of London hates it. We will have to bear in mind that sometime soon there will be an announcement of the mascot for the Olympics.

It's horribly ugly, just too plain looking and weird. I can't think of any modern games that had a worse logo than this. I hope they change it.

I should try and find the thingthat was on beta last week it took a swastika and in four easy stages turned it into the new logo!  ;D

I wanted to post that image here, but I decided not to for I did not feel it was right for the boards.
