Crouwel, if you don't get, you don't get it. It's fine. You don't need to tell me what other people have said in the past.
THIS IS A NEW IDEA!

(Jun 5 07, 04:16)Look here Jim. It's a piece of shit logo. You're here (after a day) arguing against a community of established designers. Some of the best designers in the world in fact, have noted in this very thread their disdain for it.
Now tell me - who the fuck are you to tell Crouwel or anybody else "he doesn't get it"?
What's your qualification?
Wino?
Armchair critic?

yeah plamenski, is you're representative of the other side of this debate then your attitude loses it for you before even your weak justification of it.
Its not a very complex concept, it's not a case of "getting it" or not - that's a poor defense.

i didn't "get" the logo the first time i looked at it and i am now trying hard to find sense in it.
maybe a deformed athlete or an equally misformed representation of earth.

the colors and shapes are strongly reminiscent of early eighties New Wave trends, imho.

The fist time I got to see the Logo I thought 1980 MTV. As a static logo it looks terrible.
WTF where they thinking.

It's flexible, versatile, recognizable, and most people feel they could have done it themselves if not better. Unlike the athletic competitions.
Besides, do you really want a mascot?

moth, i've been here a lot longer than you can imagine. ask some older members.
like the last guy said - it's versatile and everyone can have a go at it and that makes it great.
But it's pointless convincing a bunch of designer bees who spend their lives trying to make things look ONLY pretty.

surely animated the elements have some impact but as a static logo it looks just unbalanced and out of context.

(Jun 5 07, 05:06)you are so far away from the rationale involved in some of the good comments against this logo that you just use one-liners making yourself a perfect candidate for many designers ignore list, plamenski.
so you resort to saying we should go back to flash and just make things pretty.
you have no idea what i do and what my process is.
so i got one simple oneliner for you as well, in response and with respect to your celebration of childishness here i go:
fuck off.

(Jun 5 07, 04:16)Not quite: there has been many poor ideias in the past.
And that's the trouble with people like you: craving for something new as if concoting a "new" thing in a spiffy bureau is enough justification for everything. exploration in design serves a purpose - it's not a end in itself.

plamenskis — it may be an idea that everyone can have a go at it, but that hardly helps strengthens the brand does it?
What of London, England and Sport does it represent pray tell?
- Bluejam0
they shoulda let Banksy design it.
