london 2012
That up there is the just released logo for the 2012 Olympics in London.
It has not been well received. In fact, there is a major push by certain
Members of Pariliment to have it changed. According to the BBC
48,615 people have added their names to a petition in just two days to
had a promotional film that upon being viewed, 22 people experienced
seizures and 5 got migraines. The footage has since been removed.
By the way, this logo cost a whopping £400,000.
