I take it all back, only a work of subtle genius could provoke this magnitude of response.

Haha. And an evil geniuses they must be. Turning the entire design community on its head.
I smell conspiracy!

really (insert question mark here, since I can't type question marks on this damn keyboard).
I thought it was before I pointed out his real name yesterday. Anyway, that makes more sense.

I try never to criticise as I have been party to many jobs that have fucked up.
But the '0' of the '20' really looks like Australia, with the Trade Mark symbol looking a lot like tassie.
I am a big fan of the map of tassie.

so, I can't read 300+ posts on this, just reviewing the latest fodder... anyone want to give me the 5 second version?

For my part, I think the logo is successful. I don't like the aesthetic of it, but thats entirely subjective. Sure, 2012 isn't that legible but nor does it have to be. Its memorable and unique – something we need more of in the field of logo/branding marks these days. Some of the video examples out there show good potential in developing the visual system.

OK, guys, let's try something different. And read it through - it's going to be long.
Who made that horrible logo? - Wolff Olins
Hmmm, who are Wolff Olins? They've been in the business since 1965. How many of you were born in 1965.
1968 maybe?
One two.
I wasn't.What is their speciality? - Brands
Aha!
Who was their most related to this project previous client - The Athens Olympic committe.
It makes sense to employ them, doesn't it?
What was the client's brief?
They wanted a logo which refelcts the city but not a consrvative way and a logo which is capable of engaging, especially young poeple.Tricky, huh?
Now, do you think for a moment that the designers at Wolff Olins don't realise that the logo is indeed 'ugly' for today's standards?
Why then? What is the BIG idea? They must know something we don't or maybe not yet.
Ask yourself.
And if you can't answer it yourself, I am sorry but I can't be here forever explaining it for you.
People pay you to think not simply push pixels or chat on newstoday all day long.
