Since I first saw the logo a couple of days ago I have been speechless. It’s an insult to the Olympic ideal.

If that is an example of the Olympic team’s management skills we can stand by for an even way over budget cost than is estimated now. But then it is easy spending someone else’s money. OURS!!!

The only problem is that currently it is a waste of money - if they scrap it, it is a colossal waste of money.

and since when has wasting the publics money ever been a problem for either elected or appointed officials :confused::confused:, the only time you ever hear the words 'fiscal responsibility ' out of their mouths is when they are lecturing pensioners how to save money by turning the heat down and to wear an extra coat ..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I can't see "Zion." But it does seem to spell "Brainf**t".

Saw them on the news, and though they looked like two rotten teeth, that'd fallen out of some unhealthily diseased mouth.

At least they compliment the 2012 logo, in that both are atrociously bad designs.

The only other one eyed character I can think of was based on a winky.

This looks like another cock-up too.

'The criticism of the mascots won't be similar to the complaints about the logo. No, they'll be much, much worse.'

Britcliffe and Pritchard would look very good inside those suits.

Re: Olympic Logo
 
First we had a logo that spelt Zion
Now we have mascots with the illuminati symbol - eye of Horus

Conspiracy theorists will have a field day denegrating them:D
