Emphasising that it was not the logo itself which was the focus of 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."

OMG that animated advert logo thing just looks so bad cheesy 80's on speed (imagine the trippy neon animated strips that formed numbers on Sesame Street gone hyperactive with some Toejam and Earl influence)

I'm not epileptic but that gave me a headache watching them on teh BBC site

EDIT: Youtubed!

the diving scene causes the epilepsy fits the most apparently

RE: London Olympics Logo
there's a new story about the logo now.

apparently the flashing/blurring thing in the advert is too frquent and against ofcom regulations, so really its not even allowed on tv! and it sux too :P

and there's been 8 reports of seizures, and 3 are planning to sue. that'll make em feel stupid, nearly killing people.

the company were given £400,000 for the logo and made that piss-take. makes you wonder what the british are good at 8-)
* joey runs to another country.

Break my heart all you want, i'm on the NHS.
ever wondered what it's like to ejaculate through your ears...? ;o

We're good at lots of things, especially stop-motion :)

obviously Olympic Marketing Companies aren't good at marketing/creating a logo.

They should have went to College's/Universities and set a nationwide competition tbh. I tihnk alot of stuff like that could be done and they'd save Thousands of £

They could just set the prize as your logo shown everywhere + £1000 + a VIP ticket to everything at the games
