Not exactly inspiring. I like the colour scheme of Gary Hume's but on the whole these are somewhat shitehouse.

Awful. But they started out on the wrong foot with the 2012 logo so maybe they're trying to make that look better by the rest of it looking like shit.

I like Rachel Whiteread's effort.

Did they crowd source these?

The series looks like an art class project.

Some of them are selling for thousands of dollars.

They should've let art students create some stuff.
There are epic works in the history of Olympic posters but these are epic in an unconventional way.

They're all terrible.

Good god! What a pile of shite! Tracy Emin... Say no more!

There isn't a single one that I like. But they're made by people who have done awesome stuff in the past so therefore must be cool! :P
It's almost as though they were just handed the money and told "just do something ..um... olympics related I guess. Doesn't matter how good it is, well accept the first draft"

It does seem quite unorthodox that these lack a cohesion across the editions. Considering the weakening primacy of printed matter in our current age, perhaps this was decided (by a committee I can only assume) to be more of a populist exercise.
Accordingly, web/mobile communications could be the media that is better harnessed this summer.

Gary Humes caption on the BBC's website, along the lines of: the big circle is a wheel chair, the small circle is a tennis ball!
Right... Thanks for that classic art school blag! They're all dreadful. Can't wait for the opening ceremony... It's going to be special!

Miguex, I like where your head's at. I'm down for a collaboration, but I'm not English. Is it a touch off if folks aren't local?
