Was reading this article as a response to using pink cricket balls (wtf?) in One-Dayers, and when I got to the end they mentioned the logo for the London Olympics and how it was "a puerile mess, an artistic flop and a commercial scandal." Naturally, I had to look it up. And gag. And look up past Olympic logos just to prove how seriously bad it is.


Atlanta. Looking Olympic-y, flame and stars, glory and triumph and all that, bit of Roman pillar going on there, good on 'em.


Sydney. Looking hip 'n' groovy, bloke made out of boomerangs with a ribbon looking like the Opera House, so Aussie you can't believe it. Well done Sinny.


Athens. So Greek you can't believe it. Peace and harmony and all that with the olive, etc etc, nice job Athens.


Beijing. Looking particularly Chinesey, calligraphy brush strokes, RED, running dude doing possibly Olympic-y stuff, nice work Beijing.


...WTF, mate.

I think there's good reason why I haven't seen the Olympic logo. Dear GOD it's HIDEOUS.

They should have employed Scousers to make the logo. Clearly you lot know what you're doing XD (Paddy's Wigwam! And possbly the other cathedral next to it? And I don't know the rest. But Paddy's Wigwam!)

(PS Adelaide will be having its 200th in, like, 20 years. We're so mini ._. *envies the history*)

It's kinda like someone giving a blowjob. Only you don't want to watch.

And yes! Paddy's wigwam, and the other one! And on the left it's the Liver buildings (of a fashion XD)! I love those logos, especially the 800th one :D

(I wanna see this 200 logo, if it occurs XD)

AND YES. Of Europe. See why we're so full of ourselves about it XD;;



And thank you for my email, you are a darling <3 I was just venting - and forgot to private >____>; But the email made me feel very loved and I love you right back <3

Assuming I remember in 20 years time XD Alas, I was too young to remember Australia's bicentenary (1988, so I was 3. Well, 2 for Australia Day) and upon Googling, it appears we didn't have a logo for it then. Here (http://www.bicentenary.tas.gov.au/images/bicentenary_logo_print.gif), have Tasmania's bicentenary logo instead =D

That's a nice simple logo :D And it's blue. Blue logos rule. - I have no logo to counter you :< Sob...

I swear, it was just a big vent so I could go "ahhhh" and move on. Although it is all things that trouble me at times <3 I'm not as sad as the post might have made me seem.
