At 7pm this evening in a fanfare of nothingness the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games of 2012, which will become renowned for all the wrong reasons, added further shiteness to its already grossly engorged budget, the two mascots were revealed.
When the London 2012 logo was revealed some years ago within four minutes I had come up with a more realistic logo which just said what it said. At the time of this earlier reveal everyone involved in the Games was talking of how the logo was fluid and would forge a visual understanding which would become the graphic backbone to the Games – clearly the London Olympic committee must themselves think the original was shite as these mascots are in no way a development of that costly kibosh but a totally new graphic undertaking.
They hope to merchandise these mascots – I might just get some joke dog crap from a shop, paint 2012 in ‘jaunty’ colours on the side and do the same!
