Aaron. It does look like a swastika! I never even took that in (even with the "gay nazis" ref....it was early!!). It is probably that fact, that is subliminally making folks hate it as much as it apparently is.
Who knows what it means but the fact that lots of people see different things kind of sums it up for me. A good logo should give the same message to everyone. The judges for the design competition were obviously from Canadian Council of Arts. For them, the more subjective and interperative the logo the better (as in only true patrons of the arts can see the symbolism, yada, yada...).
Mind you considering the wierdness in Great Britian lately, this doesn't surprise me. Perhaps if you look at it in a mirror and upside down you can see the farsi symbol for ice cream cone.
This reminds me of "modern art", whatever the hell that is. It's a meaningless logo for a meaningless event. All Olympics should be CANCELED, including our. They're a waste of money.
Which means, this "logo" is also a waste of money.
I'm the last to talk about spelling, but they spelled "London" wrong on one of the jagged shards of their gay nazi explosion.
Isn't "exploded pieces" and "Olympics" kind of a tough sell.
I should note that I'm half asleep looking at this mess of random geometric shapes, but as I stare further at them they begin to move and rearrange themselves. The SS logo is the first to appear followed by an arrow pointing to an imprisoned olympic symbol. It's obvious now, olympic security will represent the flowering of the British police state.
It may also be that the British couldn't let Vancouver go away with the award of worst olympic symbol ever so they came up with this effort of a demented 5 year old.
Looks like Nazi SS logo doing tailpipe tango on London...are there any old nazies alive to see this? They must be elated that the SS finally got to screw London over :)
Seriously, which IOC board member's gay brother in law as contracted to do this??
I think that I was given this logo as a present when I was about nine years old. I was supposed to be able to rearrange the pieces into a square or something like that.
According to Drudge, there are already problems with this. It seems when epileptics see it, it causes them to have a seizure. The committee responsible for it is looking into it with the utmost dispatch.
I mean, c'mon, this whole spy-poisoned-by-radiation thing seems a bit of an extravagant way to murder someone. Actually, that could come from a 007 story.......my British illusions are restored!
Then I look at that logo again. And laugh, as not to cry for the country my ancestors fought to liberate from Nazis. And their logos.
Meh i think the top left shape looks like Britain, and the top right looks like France. Obviously the artist is depicting France sucking Britains dick. Sort of a pre-olympic taunt??
Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

At first I was speechless. Then I tried to think of something clever to say and blanked again. Now I'm just laughing. Wow.
Why do I think that it was an "artist" ala Brett Lamb that designed that vomit?
For those that missed it, here is Kate demolishing said Lamb.......

So I think we can all agree whoever is responsible for this has never played competitive sports.
Vertigo.
Looks like '60s era Soviet illustration.
But then, the mayor of London is Red Ken Livingstone.
I understand the 2012 Olympic finances are in a similar state of disrepair.
Disgusting. This concoction looks like nothing but swastika, used by a psychopathic gay punk gang to mark their territory.
But, but, what does it 'mean'? Does the logo mean that what was/is whole, will be shattered into pieces by the Olympics?

I didn't think it was possible for someone to come up with a worse logo than the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. I was wrong. But not by much.

It just screams
"Nuke the Gay Whales for Jesus"
to me.

Ditto!
Looks to be designed by someone who flunked their high school geometry class.

It does look kind of like a big-headed Olympic brute about to roger a transvestite bouffant wig-wearing London from behind (going right to left)...

I'm only elated I don't have to pay for it.
It's so stupid, so lefty school of design, so nuanced. Gag.
With their pink color choice, all things masculine are dismissed.
It's the typical drivel you'd expect from the worst Nanny State on the planet now.
Britain is now cracking down on middle class wine drinkers. My God, these fools will be regulating tooth brushing in the near future.

"My God, these fools will be regulating tooth brushing in the near future."
No worries there penny. You gotta have teeth to use the toothbrush!
Oh look its a broken sissypink vase i mean who designed that rediclous logo mast has been drunk on rolulan ale or suarian brandy
I think that I was given this logo as a present when I was about nine years old. I was supposed to be able to rearrange the pieces into a square or something like that.
ZZ STOP!
It reminds of an SCTV skit I saw years ago, with Rick Moranis pitching a logo consulting service.
It's a puzzle to me.
Aha! I KNEW it!

Epileptics? Heck, I have seizures when I look at it.
Seizures of uncontrollable laughter.
blackadder, me too.
Why, I know what it is!
Its Governor General Michael Jean's Two Solitudes peacefully getting together in a Hockey Night in Canada control booth with Don Cherry.
Hey, don't you guys know anything? This logo is of the "pre-exploded" variety. It saves the boys who worship at the Finsbury mosque the trouble.
What happened to dignity?
England used to know what it meant.
Instead, they are the Onion, come alive.
I'm with you, Penny.
