Continuation of the logo saga...
50, 000 have signed an online petition against the London 2012 Olympics logo, but it has now been closed after its creator realised the design was "here to stay".
Nicknames for the logo by now include 'Gay swastika puzzle' and 'Tiswas disaster'. But the leading name now is 'Lisa Simpson giving head'. Hhhmmm.

London unveils its logo for 2012 Olympics
Does anybody out there like this logo?
My friend, Struggling Author, rightly calls it a "crumpled crisp packet swastika"
This is the icon that is supposed to sum up what London 2012 is all about. The jagged emblem in bold colours, has apparently been designed to define the image of the Games in five years' time.
The logo, based on the date 2012 itself, comes in a series of bright shades of pink, blue, green and orange, and includes the signature five Olympic rings emblazoned onto the "0".
I myself can't stand it.
I've seen the BBC News website has some of the alternative logos... so much better.
Have a look at them - especially no. 11 - just great!
