Pixelfill Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Steph just pointed out that the TV companies missed an opportunity for a reality show - vote for the London logo I think the first one on the bbc is much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loks Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 At first I thought it was a advert for "Ice Age III" but on reflection I have to agree with Jakes Mrs cubism/BJ description - spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I work in graphics (its my job) and I wouldn't dare submit that as a design. Its a disgrace. WTF!! was the person thinking doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm a graphic designer, and even I know its shit! Shame. We could've used some symbolic London landmarks (Tower of London, Nelson's Column etc) in with the design. A bit corny I know, but most people would recognise it! I could do with 400k too!

ellis Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Typical - another bullshit design that gives the rest of us designers a bad name. An absolute bucket of wank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What an abortion of an effort... and for 400k ... no words >. http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/12539.html Just signed the above petition, won't do any good but it will show the designers what wa*kers most of us think they are. If you hit "page renew" the totals going up every couple of seconds... Sign it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The only "London" connection I could see was in the similarity to the unreadable graffiti on every flat surface in London. Yeah, that portrays us in a good light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yesterday, the 606 site on bbc.co.uk had a yellow version of the logo pictured and was asking for people to comment on it. Apparently someone said it looked like an adult version of a Simpsons episode with Lisa simpson giving someone a BJ. They even posted a link to a pic they'd made of it but the BBC took it down sharpish!

MrHanky Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Not forgetting that for a few quid you could also get a Soho girl to do similar things to the logo The only "London" connection I could see was in the similarity to the unreadable graffiti on every flat surface in London.

Ian R Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I could do better than that but then it is in London a shit logo for a shithole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayney Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 WTF! http://www.london2012.com/ http://www.london2012.com/img/logo/large-pink-white.gif Does that scream "London" to anyone? Compare with Beijing 2008: http://en.beijing2008.cn/ Athens: http://www.athens2004.com/ This country is a complete f*ck up at everything. Apparently it cost £450,000 to design that!! Wot a load of Sh*t!!! Wot was wrong with the old logo, with the Thames going through 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I working in Marketing/Product Development and it's all the biggest load of tosh. Not surprised they came up with this crap and earnt a mint to be honest. Next time London Exec tossers, try using a decent agency like those behind the masterpiece creations of the Sony Bravia adverts and the like!
