What are the red and yellow pieces supposed to be again?

"The new design, which cost £400,000"

How is this possible?

Almost $1,000,000 US?! For that piece of garbage?! What the **** were they thinking?

I just watched the conference on the beeb, sweet baby jesus, are these people ******* insane?

I can only assume it was designed by people with AIDS who are going to be dead soon so have bigger things to think about & also wont be around long enough to care.

For ****s sake...

I just can't manage to see that.......

EDIT: Ah, there it is!

Now I will see nothing but.

Apparently it's going to evolve.

Hopefully into something more meaningful, but more likely into one of those prehistoric cul-de-sacs.

One might imagine Lord Coe took the phrase 'Survival of the Fittest' a little too literally.

I can almost see the continents in there...

North/South America on the left, Australia as that dot, Eurasia top right and then Africa below it...

but damn, that's a stretch.

It looks to me like a dude fapping in front of a laptop on a low table.

Wow, any one of us can certainly do a better job than that for about a hundredth of the cost.

Frightfully bad and funny at the same time.

A couple of things that come to mind after seeing that:

A Kanji?
A badly photoshopped swastika?
An unused G2 faction symbol?
The face of and unused movie decepticon?
A 4 year old drawing?

ha ha I was going to say movie Megatron.
All I want to know is.... how do firms make that much money off one... dubious design and how can I make money like that too

You know, for 400,000 pounds, you would think that somebody could do more than I can do in 5 minutes dicking around with MS Paint. How did that cost 400,000 pounds?

cos that's how much i charged.

So is it meant to be a) a crouching athlete and b) the numbers 2-0-1-2?

If so, nice try, but no.

edit - continents, eh?

My money's on the 2012, but the last 2 is a stretch.

I wonder if we could sell this to a psychiatrist as an ink blot.

I think it partially spells out London too or something like that.
Also, the city is pink. (Apparently)

is it supposed to be like graffiti to show how from the streets the olympics are? It just reminds me of going live with sarah green. And yes i see lisa simpson giving head to!

In the end this is what you get if you give a branding like this to (probably) a london based design company, hello coe, there are much better designers elsewhere without their heads stuck up their arses!

Well at least your own country designed this, our Canadian province just got branded with the most fruity, stupid design ever. (And a terrible word mark: Spirited Energy.. like seriously wtf)
and they paid an American New York firm through the nose for it. Because naturally, they would know how to brand our province better than us.

Well, I can see the L and the O, and can stretch a reconfiguration to show the N and D, but for the O and N they'd have to reverse it.

And what would the lower word be? Rises? Rules? Rubs?
