I think I have no trouble at all with normal trademark law, as I'm using very descriptive terms, and only using the 2012 logo as part of editorial about the 2012 logo... The problem with the Olympics is that there were extra laws passed just for the Olympics, protecting the words such as '2012' and 'Olympics' themselves (with limitations).. exemptions listed here:
http://www.publications.parliame…So thats an unusually strict case... For most situations I'd say as long as you don't infringe on the 'service' logos/colours, or create any confusion as to any association with the 'service', and keep your branding very much 'does what it says on the tin' descriptive and definitely editorial, public service then you sshouldn'thave a problem.... maybe :P
