I just saw on SSN that the logo for the 2012 games cost the organisers £400K

I could not believe how tacky the film looked.

The logo itself looks like something a child would draw if asked to do it for Art class. And all those flashing colours in the film reminded me of something from 'Take Hart' in the 70s.

Money well spent?

Oops - apologies for starting another thread on the subject, but I checked in SPORT where I'd thought it would be and seen nothing.

Its still ugly though!!

Oh no, I am all for slagging off this... thing. Someone is taking the £400k?! Pffft! Muppets on the Olympic team I see

Please vote here. I'd like to see Coe spin that one!
