Speaking of shapes...they're changing the shot put as well. They'll be throwing shapes instead now.

I like this one:

I actually quite like that one, it reminds me of the Vision On logo. (That was a kids' TV show in the 70's for those of you who weren't around then. Which I know is quite a lot of you)

If you look closely it actually says, 'Vision On'. Genious.

[designer_rant]It's a fucking car crash of a logo Ben. It looks like a wacky cartoon of someone about to get done up the arse. It doesn't work now and will soon look dated, let alone the five years until the the games actually start![/designer_rant]

I can imagine it's quite easy for it to happen, even for good designers. You start throwing around some good ideas - Have 2012 spelt out in a shape which also represent areas of london,  and whatever other crazy representative shit is in there, then you are all to busy bringing it all together to step back and go fucking hell that looks shit.

Anyway I sort of like it. It reminds me of something they might have used on Going Live or something.

I reckon it was a task on the next series of The Apprentice. It will get screened next Spring probably. :roll:

£400,000 doesnt seem to bad when you consider (according to my tutor) my uni spent £1,200,000 on this imaginative logo http://www.manchester.ac.uk/medialibrary/images/corporate/logomanchester.gif

thats pure wank.

couldn't they have got 2 design students to do it for coursework?!

[manc red]

youd have thought so, there are enough arts students about.  Then a bit of a vote or something and tonnes of my fees would have been saved!

[axs]

thats about £800 for each student, which irresponsible fatbury came up with that idea?

[manc red]

fuck knows, i think my uni are following the current boards strategy and operating on a strategic deficit.  which i think means that they can ask for more money from the government, unfortunately i dont think we can try that

[axs]

my tax is high enough already thanks. although lots of my pay deductions are from the student loans (me = hypocrite)

[Matchworn Shirts]

That is shite and epilepsy enducing, what a waste of £400k.

There should just have had a public competition (not with a phone vote) to design the winner with a £25,000 prize or something like that. There must be some talented 3 year old that could have come up with a better design. Would have saved some money to
