Okay, so other than the fact that it looks like a mutated swastika, why is everyone so up at arms about London's recently revealed logo for the 2012 Olympic Games? It's kind of embarrassing that an online petition gathered 48,615 signatures to protest the logo and demand that it be replaced, when the "England is the best country in the World" petition from 2005 only garnered a measly 54 signatures.

But seriously, who gives a shit? It kind of looks like something Picasso might have drawn up and called "guerra," since that is, after all, what's erupted around it. So what if it's abstract and looks like a five-year old designed it? So what if it resembles graffiti, or cost $800,000 to design, or an animated version of it on the website caused "more than 10 seizures among the estimated 23,000 people vulnerable to a photo-sensitive form of epilepsy."

Wait, what? It cost $800,000 to design, and caused a grip of seizures?

Fuck that logo. It's totally a swastika, dude.

before people jump all over it for being a swastika, go find out what a swastika really is.
they should be pissed that the logo looks like shit and was overpriced.

My bigger concern is the font used to spell 'London'. It's three or four rounded corners from being Comic Sans.

Yeah, it totally looks like a swastika, if you're simultanously:

A) squinting
B) high
C) insane

Seriously, if the first thing that springs to mind when you look at the logo is that it looks like a swastika, then I think you need counseling. I've been staring at it for a while and I still don't see it.

Maybe if you painted a swastika on some glass with smurf shit and teletubby blood, then jumped on it until it shattered, then rearranged it you could get something like it....

I'm surprised no one has made the "SECRET NAZI OLYMPICS!!!" joke yet.

So now I've made it.

I think they should take the real design directly from the fake design Alfonso Cuaron used in Children of Men on Theo's sweater. How awesome would that be?

Amusingly enough, some people are saying that in addition to looking like a swastika, it also spells out ZION. biggrin

It looks very 1980s. Will Tubbs and Crockett represent the USA?

Fuckin' people. Just cuz a person looks like Charlie Manson doesn't mean he's a murderer. so what if it LOOKS like a swastika, it represents the olympics. It was made for the OLYMPICS, totally different representation there, assfaces. whatever I personally think it looks like a poorly stacked game of Tetris. I think if Nazi's wore pink swastika's, the war would have been totally different. All that thing is is an X that looks excited about being an X.

a swazi?

wow you are really stretching it a lot... give it up and quit trying to find hate in everything.

It is a retarded logo, but far from a swazi
