The public can have their say, and even design what they think should be the new logo.

Absolute waste of, what was it, £400,000! They throw money around like confetti, and some poor suckers are having to fork out for that.

Must have taken all of 30 minutes to come up with that garbage, and from the poll it looks like the vast majority of those who`ve voted agree.

400 K for this !??????

OMFG



I am sure the Pre School Day-Care Centre that sent it in will appreciate the funds !

35,000 want Olympics logo scrapped

An online petition calling for the "ridiculous" new logo for the London 2012 Olympics to be scrapped has attracted nearly 35,000 signatures so far.

The petition, created by Jonathan Ellis, says the new bold, jagged £400,000 logo for the 2012 Games is "ridiculous" and should be ditched as quickly as possible.

"A new logo has been unveiled for the London 2012 Olympics. I feel it is an embarrassment and portrays our country in the worst possible way," he wrote.

"The original London 2012 logo was better by far. We need a new logo now, or at least a return to the old one.

"I should add I am proud and excited about the Olympics coming to London, and the UK, and it is for that very reason we need to get this terrible logo dropped as soon as possible."

The 34,911 signatures recorded on the petition on Wednesday morning come after animated footage promoting the London 2012 Olympics was removed from its official website amid claims that it could trigger epileptic seizures.

Allegations were made that footage involving a diver plunging into a pool had already caused seizures.

In response to the concerns, a London 2012 spokeswoman said on Tuesday night: "We were made aware of concerns about a five-second piece of animated footage we used at the launch of the new London 2012 brand on Monday, June 4.

"This footage - a short animated sequence based around a diver diving into a pool - contained flashing and moving multi-coloured images. We took immediate steps to remove the animation from our website while checks are being conducted."

The spokeswoman said the concerns raised did not relate to the new 2012 Olympics logo unveiled on Monday but to promotional footage used in the launch.
