London 2012

Wednesday 13th January

I know it’s old news, but isn’t the London 2012 logo just attrocious?

Fortunately, after widespread public criticism in 2007 including a 25,000 signature petition and other cries for it to be changed, a London 2012 spokesman allayed our fears, saying “The emblem is flexible and will evolve over the next five years.”

So… how’s it doing after three?

It’s lost the yellow and the shade of pink has changed slightly. Granted that’s an improvement, but I still think that pretty much anyone armed with a pack of crayola could do better.

Sorry… I was just looking at a 2012 site and reminded how completely awful the thing is!

Head Turners…

Friday 11th December

These really are fantastic pieces of art… you’ve seen those optical illusions where there is both a vase and two faces looking at each other? Well, Tom Beshara makes them in real life, using a profile of your own face.
