Anyone else see Lisa Simpson giving someone a bit of "oral pleasure" in that?

Loads of people have said that to me, and I cant stop seeing it now :p

Haha, yes, I see it :laugh:

That logo looks terrible... I'm sure it'll be changed though.

As if the taxpayer hadn't coughed up enough money for another Millenium Dome type money wasting initiative, we go and spend ?400k on something that represents street life not sporting life!

JEEZ!!!!

I bet the designers charge ~?25k just to change the colours and the Olympic comitee will be like "yeah why not, not our hard earned money".

The alternatives were a darn site better, and think, if someone had given even a 10th of the price, then over ?350k could have gone to feed the needy or other worthy causes.

Thats where I want my tax money to go, or on health or the like, not on ****ing illuminous pink Mr Blobby created logos (apologies to those who don't know/remeber Mr Blobby (Noel's House Party))

Anyway, rant over...........

That logo is complete and utter rubbish. Hopefully it will be changed, although it will just be yet more money spent. :no:

Here is another simple Londoner's attempt...

Although ?400,000 is a bit much for a logo, I'd rather see the designer of that logo get it.

The thing looks shattered, which let faces it the games will be as well.

Preparation for the games not going well?

Its kind of funny/sad about how much is spent on the Olympics and then after the games your hope to break even with your new [what ever needed to be built track/pool/ski jump/ect...].

Most of the venues probably won't be used after the Olympics which is stupid...

When it comes to the money, at least that was paid for with Private money, so the Taxpayer didn't pay for it

Unless something spectacular happens before then, my fiance and I are making our first trip to England for the Olympics. I was hoping for the winter games, as I prefer more of the sports to that of summer, but it should be great nontheless.

Those of you in London/England, has there been word on a time frame for tickets or anything yet?

No I haven't heard anything yet...its still up in the air I think because most of the venues have to be built first...

What an abominable, grotesque, and inaccurate reflection of the wealth of design talent that we have in the UK.

I'm not even sure that this would have been fashionable in the 80s. Someone tell me just one way how it symbolises the Olympics, London, or the alleged "dreams and aspirations" of millions.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
