I *still* can't believe something so dreadful was chosen.<br /><br />As for coming up with something better - if I were an artist I could, but my talent in that area is non-existent. Mind you, I think I could do that - despite my lack of artistic aptitude.<br /><br />My kids don't care about it really. But I think if I gave a paintbrush to a blind gorilla, he might come up with something better in all honesty.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-35031339183513517952012-07-29T03:17:11.690+01:002012-07-29T03:17:11.690+01:00O Mr PM,

It was a fantastic idea but a bit of a cough-out for the parachute to land outside the stadium. I understand it may be impossible with the wires and all but would be spectacular if it were pulled off.<br /><br /><br />I like the logo because it is creative, edgy and not ho hum like the first pic you put up on your blog.

It was very different from the Beijin one. I like the beginning and ending but lukewarm of the middle part. I love the part where they introduced the inventor of www and the torches merging into a giantic torch.<br /><br />I actually like the London olympic logo and was disappointed that it is not on the McDonald's Olympic Coke glasses.drbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-55134911807538834832012-07-27T16:00:04.540+01:002012-07-27T16:00:04.540+01:00Bonjour Kath,
