Simon Willison : The logo is still evolving, say designers - The logo is still evolving, say designers. The Olympics logo is designed to be “hackable”—which is actually a great idea, but lawyers advised against unveiling that concept at the same time as the abstract shapes.
plasticbag : The Telegraph has been covering the whole Olympics logo debacle in a particularly interesting way... - I think people miss the point. Think about an Olympics that isn't about the nobility of sport, Greek aspirational betterment of the soul through domination of the body, and start thinking of the energy and fun of running around like a maniac. Makes sense

jonhicks : Coudal Partners defends the Olympic 2012 logo - I agree with most of this - it certainly is brave, flexible and has got everyone talking about it. It doesn't leave me with a sense or pride though - this isn't something I'd want to wear.
philgyford : Coudal Partners - The 2012 Olympic Logo: A Rant: London Broil - I hate the 'London' text, and I'm *slightly* nervous about it overall, but generally I agree with every point here. By 2012 the logo will be a familiar friend and few people will hate it. Certainly better than the usual naff Olympic logos. (via Haddock)

plasticbag : The Flickr logo-maker allows you to construct your own personalised logo in the Flickr style that we've all come to know and love - it's potentially difficult to tell why such a device is so useful, given that the logo itself isn't exactly the most complex, but still - it's nice and it's sort of funny.

plasticbag : The new logo for the upcoming new series of Doctor Who - Right - a few things. Firstly, lens flare is not cool. It's just not. Secondly, it's all a bit Farscape. Thirdly, it's lame. This is all I have to say on this subject. I bet the theme music has no bass in it too. No BBC themes have enough bass.
