dislike it immensly..
- ecnalab0
the logo's not "new rave" or "new wave" , it's obvious by the color scheme, the designer's are are inspired by bad prog rock of the 80's...

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.

you are such a cock plamenski - have you not read anybodies posts? everybody sees the 'big idea', everybody - the consensus is that it is not effective because they have bawsed up the execution; no matter how high minded the concept is if you disregard the basics the rest is lost. How can you possibly not realise that big talk is not enough here? its not a balloon, hot air does not make this fly, no matter how high a pedestal you launch it from.

anyway, think we can get our little baby all growed up to 1000 posts?
this is the new blog thread.

Kelpie, if you can't see beyond the irrelevance of the graphical execution, I am sorry but the only thing you see is your pretty nose!

- plamenskis0
And I am sorry but the fact that you are NOW fainally warming up for the idea that perhaps IT IS NOT JUST AN UGLY FACE is quite recent, is it not?

keep talking plamenksi.

Point well taken harry palmskis, so I think you can go now...
The Dutch greatly support your pov, making a logo awkward sometimes can be enough to create a greater lasting impression, have more stopping power or reinforce the concept... Design should never be about aesthetics alone... But to make a broad generalization, this logo would be more suited towards the Netherlands, Germany or Switzerland hosting the olympics in terms of it being more indicative of the culture... Given it being in London, a more suiting treatment would be a clean sans-serif typeface with simple typography and an equally dry [yet witty] photographic treatment and maybe some foil blocking somewhere...

Here's clue - someone here mentioned Logo 2.0.
- kelpie0
no its not recent - read my posts for christ's sake. You are thinking in a very rigid binary way here, like you have to love it if you like the thinking behind the overall brand, whereas most of us would say you can achieve both a strong conceptual base and an expandable brand without sacrificing the aesthetics and communication this brand should have. You have a very limited understanding of the opinions, roles and skills of the members here. I've seen this before in bad marketing people.
and I still think you're just on the wind up.

Yes, up until now.
This is Logo 2.0. Google sort of started the trend but never in this scale.And you guys do it but only once a year when you put a Xmas hat on your logos.
Logo 2.0 is dada logo, an anti-logo.

actually MTV... but whatever...

plemenskisldhgdfzs,d is a relative/clean up /fairly worthless biased opinion that results in violent outbursts on the street kind of rep for this logo
or just some slag running this poor schmucks ridiculous name through the dirt
either way plemenkjhgdljhgldfkj is very similar to the logo, worthless from every aspect, rigid, brash, and boring.
plemrjhgbvmnz you are a broken record of self importance that enjoys the sound of his own moans of appreciation for his posts as he rereads them
someone might have to copy paste this he had mentioned the ignore earlier
