Oh boy, I can hardly wait for the reaction of all those muslims living in the U.K.

The logo comes from a specific graphics genre. That is the graphic form and the colours. It is synonymous with, discount stores, bargin sales, teenage and pre-teen 'style', 'kids' sweet wrappers, poor sports clothing, poor graffiti and pop graphics - in fact anything that is cheap and colourful or cheap and nasty.

Design always means something and, by common useage, this logo means £9.99 and discount, discount, discount - amongst other things. The incorporation of the word London and the Olympic rings are its worst aspects.

The International Olympic Commitee should protect its brand with the logo it already has, which is probably the best logo ever designed.

Make jest as you will. This type of logo must be removed. Even if the comparison was innocent, the link has been made and to keep it would be to support Zionism.

That's hilarious! It's still a naff logo though.

An inside joke that got found out? and the chutzpah of the £400k bill? - busted I think.
