Re: Olympic Logo

That's great, and accounts for at least a couple of the billions of pounds it's costing us.

The figures 2 0 1 2

Cost £400,000 to design, as well. Great value for money!

Re: Olympic Logo

I dont know about you but I think it's fantastic............ly crap. Yet another waste of public money which could go towards worthwhile things such as the NHS etc. I was going to say it looks like it's been designed by a 3 year old, but that would be an insult to 3 year olds the world over.

Re: Olympic Logo

What you don't understand is the amount of employment it has already provided. A design agency has been employed, probably four or five account handlers plus additional staff, consultation has been held, meetings with key people and one poor young trainee to do all the photocopying. Isn't this what they said would happen - the Olympics would create jobs!





And now here's my real answer - it's crap, looks like crap and is a waste of money! It's providing work, yes, but for a London company - none of this benefitting the rest of the country.
