Good Grief..., by streetgirl on Jun 5, 2007 9:08:17 GMT 1, Seb Coe has said it's not a logo, it's a brand....Tessa Jowell, summed it up in one word, iconic.
As Ian Wright said yesterday, it looks as though someone has had the brief for months but with the deadline approaching, only turned it around the morning of the presentation....
All i can think of is that they put out the brief to a primary school...and this is what they got back.

You can imagine the designers getting a useless brief from the business and sports people, "we want it to jump, be alive, bright and exciting zig a zag arr etc etc blah blah"
As the BBC put it.....
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday is Tiswas day,

Good Grief..., by dmandpenfold on Jun 5, 2007 11:44:11 GMT 1, This is a total shamozzle, i cant believe the drivelous justifications thrown out by our 'betters', i could understand (almost) if they were a bunch of sandal wearing youf club workers but they're not, they actually are leaders of our nation.....it makes me absolutely fit to explode with rage...i'm going to have a coronary..   
"It meets the biggest challenge we have over the next five years, which is reaching out to young people.
WTF?
"It is interactive and absolutely at the heart of what we need to do - engaging the attention of young people through new media and the virtual world they can get transported into.
interactive... engaging...transported into....
"It will be imperative that it is flexible. I think it is way beyond any simple logo.
yep "way beyond"...WTF?
"It reaches out to young people in new and creative ways and uses the language that they understand and all the technology that is familiar to us.
'language they understand' you mean like 'youf', 'innit' 'respect' 'aaait' 'bo selecta' and 'booyakasha'...WTF
"It is different, exciting and it really defines us as a city, a country and an organisation."
speak for youself seb, i hope not...
"When people see the brand, we want them to be inspired to make a positive change in their life.
where's the bucket..
"It really helps us with the sponsors and it will be a great help in getting people excited about the games."
seriously i'm ecstatic...er dude
"it can capture the activeness and the spirit of the Olympics."
no...i dont see it....ah hold on.....no sorry
What is it with this patronising obsession with reaching out to the 'young people', get off the stage you f**king clueless bunch of f**king morons. Apologies for swearing, i'm usually quite measured but this makes me so incensed.
Challenge: to find someone who says something about the logo without mentioning the 'young people'....
