Comments on: Olympics maintain consistancy with another really bad logo. http://www.robleto.com/2007/06/04/55/ Greg says what he's thinking here.

(no offense- I just keep forgetting about this one... so I'm a bit behind : ) This is so funny... that thing is about as inviting as that 80's/90's UV blocking zinc stuff was- remember that? I mean, don't get me wrong, it was totally gnarly (: P) but how useful could it be unless you actually covered your entire body in it? You'd end up with the most ridiculous tan/burn lines ever, and all just to decorate yourself with neon sunblock... I feel like that's about how comfortable this logo makes people feel : ) Hey- finally migrating to the original Greg blog! (no offense- I just keep forgetting about this one… so I’m a bit behind : )

This is so funny… that thing is about as inviting as that 80’s/90’s UV blocking zinc stuff was- remember that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was totally gnarly (: P) but how useful could it be unless you actually covered your entire body in it? You’d end up with the most ridiculous tan/burn lines ever, and all just to decorate yourself with neon sunblock…

I feel like that’s about how comfortable this logo makes people feel : )

How does one love a geometric shape that, when touched, throws one into a fit of shaking ... We never did give the Brits much credit for any artistic abilities. Tea cups and saucers representing the rings would've won the hearts of many more. Good Asian here … thank goodness the Beijing Olympics have cute cuddly Asian chracters for all to love.
