That is really ugly, right down to the color combination. Since these silly things are always intended to "symbolize" something or another, praytell what is this mess supposed to symbolize?

The two Irelands, Scotland, England and tiny Wales in the center (the penis)? As I read it, Scotland and England are giving the two Irelands a blow job, symbolizing unity and cooperation.

Ugh, hideous design, and after the previous comments it's tough to not see it as a simplified image of a blow job.

Tacky, like every other aspect of this criminally-wasteful neanderthal circus show.

It looks so 1980's, in every way which sucked.

You're all so cynical and dirty-minded. It's obviously nothing more than Scotland and England shaking hands with the two Irelands, and uniting in the name of sportsmanship. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

I like those two ZZs in there, but is that some new event they're hyping, or are they suggesting that Brits sleep during blowjobs?

From some news article:


The four block-style jagged pieces combine to form the numbers 2012 in a variety of pink, blue, green and orange colours.


OK, I admit that the numbers 2-0-1-2 never crossed my mind looking at that.

Deighton said the logo would evolve into a number of forms over the years.


Well, probably not if they stick to only blow jobs.

Apparently there are already over 10.000 signatures on an online petition to get it changed.

The fact its the numbers 2012 was immediately obvious to me, but that just makes it an even worse piece of design...

That 1976 Olympics is one I remember especially vividly.

I'm a little disturbed by all this talk of a blowjob. It's obviously a handjob.


"Hand job,
hand job,
hand job.

Doin' that funky hand job."

(Apologies to Aiko Aiko and Grateful Dead fans)

OK. Let's settle this with a compromise: It's a wet hand job

You left out "coordinated by the slimiest international cabal of shakedown artists who are considerably lower than pedophiles, who destroy national economies with their capricious whims, all in the name of some faux purity of amateur athletics which should produce projectile vomiting by any group of intelligent people."
