There was one considered that incorporated Big Ben, the Millenium Wheel etc. to make 2012 which even I liked, but the four pinky/red blobs won instead.

Trouble with the Lisa Simpson thing is, once you've seen it you can't unsee it

Plenty of much better alternatives suggested at the time on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/..._gallery.shtml

So let me get this into some form of context . Somebody from Iran has complained about a logo ............. and now he will probably be poisoned of knifed in his sleep as he has ruined the chance of 20 or so Iranian Athletes to have a bit of a Holiday , and escape their miserable lifestyle for a month . And not to mention they could miss out on the chance to swap Briefcases full of cash with some Russians behind the scenes ..... or even do a runner and not come back . Good luck with handling that one .

See, now first pic you go yo in the link above gives you...



which is a million times better than Lisa Simpson! and I didn't need to click the rest!

But then we are British and we MUST make a complete **** of the Olympics so why not start with the logo?
