    Worst ever logo

    London 2012 Olympic logo unveiled today. What an embarrasment, I nearly died laughing! It really does looks like Lisa Simpson giving head! Rubbish font too. Is this the best a world city can do?

    http://www.gamesbids.com/cgi-bin/new...&id=1180952770

    Other terrible logos spring to mind anyone?

    I nominate the Eircom logo. What does that weird shape actually mean?

    The old FAI stick man/doggy style logo of course as well. The PFAI logo looks horrendous come to think of it too.

    Friend who works there told me its supposed to represent the globe but with segments removed because we will never be whole - or something like that. Apparently they spend some hundreds of thousands if not millions on that whereas Telecom Eireann (previous name) was taken from employee suggestion box.



    Its hard to judge the 2012 logo at this stage as might grow on us. I think its like that for multimedia purposes rather than just a static logo.

    London logo looks like the SS symbol to me. I'm amazed no-one spotted the similarity at the vetting stage and vetoed it.

    Apparently it was designed to fit compactly on a mobile phone screen.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    And you still think the private sector is more efficient than the public sector?

    It's on Newsnight in a bit, 'Lisa Simpson doing something unmentionable' according to Kirsty Wark.
    So now they know, whoever's responsible.

    The UCD logo (see avatar) has to be considered one of the worst logos for the unimaginable "UCD Dublin".

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Hence the parodic STIG Graduate logo.

    Oh, and UCD Dublin isn't unimaginable. Clearly someone made it up.

    Adam, it's not a real AT&T logo unless it's the death star.
