And the Gold Medal for Crappy Design Goes to...

This crappy Olympic logo cost 400,000 pounds, which is about 399,000 pounds and a few shillings more than it is worth. Who am I kidding, you couldn’t pay me to display that mess. While some lucky artist was paid a lot of money, I am left to wonder how the hell he ever came up with this? Was the guy on a bender then realized the deadline was tomorrow? Did he paint a logo on a platter then drop it on the way to the presentation? Perhaps this was a picture his five-year-old niece drew that has been on the fridge for a while. Maybe this is a signal from Osama for sleeper cells to attack.

What do you think?

What is it actually meant to symbolise, assuming it symbolises anything

Currently it looks like a freeze frame from the graphics in early 90s rap videos.

Or the paper machet (however you spell it) of early South Park shows.

Actually if you look real hard you can see that it is a 2012 which is the year of the Olympics in London. I’m sure they thought it was cleaver. I think it’s simply craptabulous!

I think it looks like a swastika. Ken Livingstone must've designed it.

Thanks for pointing that out, Scott

Good god, that really is awful if you need direction to figure out what it actually is. The zero looks like a pointy-edged Australia.

..Which would make sense..

It looks like the cartoon character on the right is performing fellatio on the one on the left.

Is that an Olympic event now?
