That Logo

While I was away Sebastian Coe was interviewed on the radio, defending the dreadful pile of horse shit that is the new logo for the 2012 Olympiad in London. Worse, they paid £400,000 for what can only be described as a puerile scrawl that could be improved upon by a child.

Well, it seems that it has been improved upon by a child. Frankly every single one of the alternative designs offered is a vast improvement on the official one. If ever here was a symbol of the corrupt, venal nature of the Olympics, then the disgraceful rip-off presented by Coe fits the bill beautifully.
