what do you expect when we have a crappy olympic logo ??


The one in blue and white looks like the blue area is the perfect aiming zone for a well deserved swift kick to the bollocks

I guess that's the first tangible sign of the new Government's Olympic cut-backs.

Revised Olympic Mascot Budget: 3 quid.

Sarcasm aside though, they have only had 5 years to come up with them and they seem to fit Coe and Beckham quite well, I think.

Does anyone think that they are "adorable" enough to make all that wonga that they keep talking about. I think they are on a par with that logo that some clown thought up!

What does not make any sense to me is that the mascot design seems to have absolutely no relationship to the Olympic logo.

Whereas the logo is a surreal cubist interpretation of Bart getting a blowie from his sister; the mascots seem to be a Philippe Starke interpretation of a Miro sculpture.

Non of which represent Britain in anyway at all except to say we are crap at this stuff!
