Unfortunately,the link above to the petition is wrong, you need to go to http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/change-the-london-2012-logo-extended-campaign.html
The original petition did close at around 48000 signatures but due to ‘popular demand,’ Gopetion.com started it again. Unfortunately not enough people realise this. So if you hate that ghastly logo, sign the petition now! and tell everyone you speak to who doesn’t like it either (and that must be 99.9999% of the population) to do the same.
Thanks and say NO to the 2012 Logo!

A truly awful logo designed, obviously, by a committee.

Why not make it a competition for the public to come up with ideas? Have a prize of, say, £10,000, the money to go either to a school or a charity of choice.

Until it was pointed out to me, I couldn’t even tell that it was supposed to be “2012″ on the logo, it just looked like a load of childish graffiti. What on earth does this say to the world about the talent (or rather the lack of it) in our country? How can they justify £400,000 for this rubbish, it only costs a couple of quid for a decent pack of coloured pencils!

If you have anyone with epilepsy in your family then you should sign the petition. It sent my daughter into a seizure, what idiot thought it was a good idea, sorry didn’t they think first!

The logo is appalling. It epitomises today’s mindset where many people seem to have the attention span of a 3-year-old. It has the annoyance of a pop-up ad on a website. Also what’s the point of a moving image where the logo will mainly be used on a static enironment? Look at Beijing 2008’s logo for a better example.

It’s hideous. It was fascinating watching Sebastian Coe trying to justify it.

No wonder the cost of the Olympic games is spiraling out of control… £400,000 for the logo ?. How many more politicians, celebrities and city types will benefit from grossly overinflated payouts. It’s an incredible waste of taxpayer / Lottery funding. See today’s Daily Mail for superior designs (Put together in less than 24hours and at very little cost) lets choose one of these instead !!!!!!!

looks like a broken swastika. Edgy my backside – knocked up in minimum speed for the maximum profit.
