London 2012
The London Olympic committee, or whatever the hell it is called, just released the new logo and branding for the 2012 Olympics in London, including a video “brand animation”. I have seen extraordinarily mixed reactions to this including love, hate, indifference, and confusion. I will not be shy about saying that I absolutely hate it.
Love it or hate it, it is hard to disagree with my loyal reader-friend Lee W. who sent along this rendering. He can’t help but see Lisa Simpson giving her father head in the image. As gross as that thought might be, he has a point…
UPDATE: Mike from North55 pointed us to this other commentary on the design:
UPDATE 2: Apparently part of the original ad has been pulled because of fears that it will cause epileptic seizures. I shit you not. Full-on Pokemon epileptic fits. Bad design is almost BETTER than good design. [via drawn.]
[thanks to Lee for pointing this out.]
I don’t think it looks like Lisa Simpson, but it DEFINITELY looks like someone giving head.
Lee’s right. He’s also a sick bastard, but he’s right.
The people have spoken:

I’m not much to conspire, but it seems to be a publicly displayed outline for any would-be terrorists that aren’t sure of the event field layout
Can we say “Swiss Bank Account” for the artist, hmmmm?
Think about it…
I think I have blinky enduced nausea.
Where’s my weed…
