It looks like a person (on the right) is performing fellatio on a man (on the left, obviously).

The best part was with the goatse logo and BBC people totally clueless about it:

"Here is my design for the Olympic logo. It is very simple and so memorable. The hands represent Britain pulling together to reveal the Olympics"

Too bad they eventually figured the thing out and removed it :)

well that piece of shit cost 400k pounds of taxpayers money. Imagine how well will they spend the rest of the billions..

Actually, now that I look at it, it kind of resembles a man bending over to take a dump. Kind of a good description of the modern olympics, too..

Not the first time that something like that happens, here's the logo of Westnet, an Australian ISP :-)

it's funny about the logo issue, remember the BBC changed their own logo and it cost a SILLY ammount to rebadge vehicles etc..

the olympics logo is pony, and very pink. I just saw one of the logos on the london news, keops was that your work? if so showed ya real name on it as well.

c'mon they should have just got someone from the scene to make em a logo =) , look at the logo's on here... =)

have you seen the animated version of the logo, its just the same as live'n kickin ident..

I suggest we put this logo, Picasso's paintings and Pierre Bourdieu's books in a container, drop it in the Sun, and wait to see what happens...

Oh, and why "pink" ? Is there any subliminal cargo here ?

I'm loving this quote from one of the "alternative logo"-submitters:

Quote:
"Dear BBC, I knocked up this running figure in 10 minutes in my lunch hour. Please may I have my £400,000."

Looks like someone's first attempt in MS Paint. I'm ashamed at the amount of morons in my country!

I'd vote for crap.

A totally forgettable fusion of dull shapes and shitty coder colours, yawn!

I think we should promote Keop's 'goatse' logo as a viable alternative, without letting on about its grisly origins!
