Bucking the Trend - London 2012

In: Blog| Ideas

5 Jun 2007

With all the talk of the new £400,00 London Olympic log, flying around and a building consensus of it being naff. I thought I would wade in and say its good and more importantly I like it.

You may wonder why I like it so much, well its quite simple. There is not another Olympic logo like it. Fair enough other Olympic logos work and indeed look good (see here) Only problem is they all look the same, they all have the same elements and all show some kind of recognisable symbol or mark, that is of the host nation. I like the London 2012 logo because its different, simple and there is nothing like it, even if it was a little expensive.

If you read the logo horizontally it spells out 2012. But have you noticed that if you read the logo vertically instead of horizontally that it just as clearly spells out ZION? What’s up with that?

I had noticed the 2012, but not the zion reference. Are we really in the matrix?
