London Logo Causes Epileptic Fits
The Olympic logo is Bad… Real Bad
Footage promoting the logo for the 2012 London Olympic Games was removed from the organisers' website yesterday amid concern it could trigger epileptic fits.
The video clip shows a diver plunging into a pool as part of a campaign to promote the jagged Olympic logo, a graffiti-like blow-up of the number 2012 in a range of colours including hot pink and electric blue.
A London 2012 spokeswoman said the concerns surrounded a four-second piece of animation shown at the logo's launch yesterday and recorded by broadcasters.
Emphasising that it was not the logo itself which was the focus of health worries, she said: "This concerns a short piece of animation which we used as part of the logo launch event and not the actual logo."
I freakin hope it's not the actual logo, Sure i may be the millionth person to bash the new logo, but that dosn't mean i'm not going to do it.
Simply put, My 6 year old brother could draw something better than that.
And now it's causing seizures…. wow. Talk about shitty design…
