Suckity suck suck !

The 2012 London Olympics logo has just been unveiled... and it is nauseatingly bad. I know I usually only talk about things I like on here, but this thing is so bad it's needs a mention.

I hope this is just a really bad joke.... and soon there will be articles that will say "2012 London Olympics Logo Hoax: how an entire industry was fooled by the unveiling of a fake and hideous logo."from 30gms

Seriously, can you recall the last good Olympic logo design? Its bee a while. How hard is this to nail. Your country gets it once a freakin 40 years, make it count.

Man, that is seriously ugly. It looks like they made it in Microsoft Paint, using the line tool. I hope this doesn't usher in a new era of clip art.
