No go with the logo

I am a big fan of the London Olympics but I am not a fan of their new logo. It looks like one of the puzzles from the Krypton Factor c.1977 or a very bad local authority advert for a Festival of Fitness. Apparently it is meant to appeal to the “Google Generation”. Dear me, no.

June 6th, 2007 11:24amA misunderstanding being perpetrated by some in the media about the London 2012 logo is that the "logo" is the "brand" - that the two words are interchangeable. A "brand" is the summation of all aspects of something (usually a product or service) as perceived and experienced by observers (usually the consumer). A "logo" is merely the visual identity symbol that stands for the values of that brand. So for London 2012 the test of the logo must be whether it truly represents the brand values of the event. London 2012 is about the city of London, about the nation and about sport. So the logo should similarly be immediately identifiable as being of London, of Britain and about sport. The chosen design fails on all three counts.
