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.

Oh wow, the Liverpool 800 logo is absolutely gorgeous.

I will never be able to see the London 2012 logo without remembering that thing I read - I think on metaquotes - that described it as "Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob". DO NOT WANT. God, it's horrible.

It was sexy, sexy logo. I'm still trying to get the bananlamb with said logo on it, because then I can own it forever.

"Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob". THAT'S the description I was trying to remember. Oh god. Horrible blowjob logo.
