So, that Olympics logo then...
It's not just me that thinks it looks like, well, you know, is it? Surely?
UNFORTUNATE QUOTES UPDATE: "This is the vision at the very heart of our..... brand," said London 2012 organising committee chairman Seb Coe, standing behind an unusually ornate podium.*
Immediately after this statement, his eyes rolled back and he reported an 'enormous sense of relief'. 'No, no,' he also said to a cleaner who was about to go around the back of the podium, 'that's fine, I'll sort all that out later' (I made up everything after the first sentence).

what, what? Is it the lego, again?
It seems pretty straighfoward to me.
Seb Co: We need something that represents the internet age, something vibrant and bold, for the MTV generation.
Designer: Will a swastika do?
Seb Co: Whatever.
...OH!
My imagination's just seen what you've seen. It took a trip to my washing machine and my washing-up pile thinking "huh? oralympics? huh" to figure it out.
That's disgusting.
Oralympics? I don't get it. But then again I am a prude. I just think it looks like a swastika.
There have been some incredibly bad logos designed in recent years. I'm gonna blonk about it.
Ladies, if yours has a yellow fimbriation, consult your GP immediately.
I think most people see what you see, James. Have you seen the accompanying video? It all goes a bit Kind of Magic.
Phew, I'm glad it wasn't just me (although on the whole, people who visit this blog would appear to be a pleasingly innocent bunch - sorry for upsetting your washing there, FR).
I'm not normally that smutty, honestly. Which makes me think that if even I can see the big-haired lady on the right admistering, erm, 'relief' to the gentleman on the left (to quote the ever-reliably hilarious Telegraph website comments), then lots more people can see it too.
I bet Seb Coe made them do the logo like that, the Tory perv.
London 1983.
i have been sat for one whole hour and two whole coffees trying to come up with a pun or smut laced innuendo based around this post.
i haven’t found one.
sorry, i feel like i’ve let you all down.
I know - I was reduced to googling Seb Coe quotes looking for anything I could take out of contexts. Couldn't find a thing.
This is why I don't really do topical comedy.
Oli: 'London 1983?' I r confused.
to the pure, all things are pure - or at least they were until you explained it. now i can't see anything else!
'I can see the big-haired lady on the right admistering, erm, 'relief' to the gentleman on the left'
really ?! - goes back to look at it again, all I saw was the swastika
Someone on t'internet said the daughter in well-known American cartoon adminstering, um, a certainb type of pleasure?
So wrong. But sadly also true.
James, possibly Oli was referring to this
I think Oli is saying that this logo would have looked futuristic and cutting edge circa 1983.
Oh I seeeeee.
Sorry, I was being dense. Yes, even aside from the IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS ruderies, it's just rubbish, isn't it?
Eurgh, I hate the whole Olympics thing. As a nation we used to be quite good at this kind of thing. Now just end up handing over huge sums of money to already-rick people and corporations so they can get quite a lot richer.
Back to cheerful and surprisingly efficient amateurism please.
ha! just got it
I finally got it about the logo; at first I was just dazzled by the extreme scary magenta that was clubbing my eyeballs.
i don't get how something that - well plain or whatever you want to call it can cost so much money to make come on it really couldn't have cost £40,000 or whatever could it? they are just milking it for all they can.... plus I think it just looks rubbish at first I didn't even get what it was it just looked like a square type blob...
I believe it was £400,000, that's four hundred thousand pounds. Not that I know anything about this as I have added the London Olympics and anything to do with it to the list of things which I am steadfastly ignoring.
