Comment from the related article:
"Do I believe they could rival the Munich Games' versions? Absolutely, because I strongly believe these will touch and inspire everyone – whether in London, the UK or more widely around the world."Not sure about that

think they work better now than in isolation but the type just kills it for me.

poor enough methinks.
not too clear at that size.
lots of the detail is lost, very small and spindley.

Feels a bit like ads for MTV. I applaud them for trying something different, but I can't say I really like it based on its artistic merits.

A pictogram works much better if it is symbolic more than a vector illustration. Some could pass, like the sprinting. But most have too many elements. They have become too complicated IMO. Plus I like smooth edges which this certainly doesn't have.
