It was aimed primarily at deaf children, and was the first mainstream programme to have sign language. It was co-presented by Tony Hart. The woman pictured always used to say 'we are sorry we cannot return your pictures, but for all those we show, we'll give a prize', before the camera panned to the art work in the 'Gallery'. I thought it was rubbish at the time, and never wasted a stamp.:D |

Re: Olympic Logo
If someone was to make a big model of this logo and stick it say, on top of the Coppice....what would it be called? And would it be popular?

Re: Olympic Logo
Today I heard Sebastian Coe defending the logo on the radio.
He described it as 'street' and 'happening'. Err...no, it isn't. Maybe graffiti art was street and happening in '76, or at a push 1980, for the Olympics in Montreal, or Moscow respectively, but not now. The design of this logo is equivalent to 'Dad dancing' at weddings. |
Re: Olympic Logo
Tell me it isn't true that it was inspired by a 'TISWAS' logo!!!!

Actually, the logo looks a lot like a map of Canada with the Great Lakes in the wrong locations. |
Re: Olympic Logo
Must admit Panther, did rather like that one which they used for the bid and wondered why was not carried into the actual logo. One that nobody could dislike I suppose, maybe that was the point .. too banal .. and have to think 5 years from now. Our 13-year olds will be 18 then and have a different perspective of design likings as technology advances and bombarded with more geometrical-type images.
Guess the younger ones in the main will be the buyers of all the souvenier off-shoot products. |

The Olympics is supposed to be based on a tradition of fair and equal sport for all, so what is wrong in this case instead of trying to be 'trendy', why could we not have just had a logo that reflects the high principles of the games themselves? Or are we just doing this for the money????;) |
