I've gotta admit, I didn't expect much more from an English committee. Every committee (or organisation) seems to think they're down-with-the-kids these days, so anything thats supposed to appeal to all audiences just ends up looking like a pile of dung to most people.

I noticed a similar snippet on TV last night, from all appearences very few people (excluding the committee) seem to think this logo is up to much.

It is quite amazing how today when we finally have incredible tools around for graphic design and incredible IT power; the graphics is getting uglier every time... I think it is a shame. This logo is extremely ugly and what is even more important it has no message, and a logo has to have a message, that?s a crucial feature for a logo. Ugly and nonsense in the same time. A real killer thing:(:(

What the hell. Is that part of a jig saw puzzle? That is ugly. I like ours much better.

haha... I am afraid the other few offered for voting is also bad. I don't think this should be decided by popular vote, they have to form some committee from artists, graphic designers etc. and they should decide. I am afraid the popular opinion has nothing to do with graphic design quality, it is just the opinion of the majority and in case like art or design it is not working well.

I am a graphic designer. Honestly, I could have pulled something out of my ass that looked better than that logo. :s

Ironically, with the diamond in the centre, that is exactly what some people say the logo is all about. It's the goatsee logo.

Experienced

well...

The Video on the official website of the logo has been removed due to people experiencing epileptic fits after viewing the scene with the diver! :rofl:

Can't belive that they someone got paid a huge sum of money to make this pos and the fact all these flashing shapes might be epilepsy inducing didn't

occur to them!

EDIT:

Someone tell me just one way how it symbolises the Olympics, London, or the alleged "dreams and aspirations" of millions.

They're shattered...

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
