Wow, if that's the real logo, it looks like it's really low quality. I like the Beijing one, looks like a chinese character and also a guy running.
That's absolutely terrible. And yea, wtfx, I see what you mean.
That logo is terrible and you're right... I see something "wrong" going on in there.

More like a BJ but the guy is finishing up on her ta tas

Sebastian Coe in the news regarding the logo:

in my opinion everybody needs to calm down.
Although the wacked up shapes do resemble a few characters doing the nasty, I think it's really a neat logo!
If you want to talk stupid logos, let's take a look at the Los Angeles and Montreal Olympic logos shall we??!?!
Actually, the Mexico one was by far the silliest.... It's almost embarassing.
The London logo is (like they said) bold, different, and above all, it's sexy.
And plus, the logo has nothing to do with the quality of the games, so for all I care, it could actually be a picture of a live BJ!
maybe they are trying to predict the trends in design in 2012
The logo looks like somebody smashed a plane of glass on the floor.
or a drunken swastika!
...or a stylized 20 12.
The Mexican one is a design classic, as is Montreal, you obviously don't know the history/reasoning behind them.

You mean the Montreal beaver mascot or "The Finger" logo?

This just proves that the logo has something for everyone...even the perverts.
Well done...and thank God this wasn't done for an Olympics being held in the U.S.

I think you're right, and their wrong. I'm a graphic designer for what it's worth. I've seen this style sneaking around lately, but not for anything this huge.
I see the BJ now too. Thanks letsrun!
It's brilliant, very nice indeed. I'm so glad they didn't fall prey to another 'safe' choice showing some cornball icon of Tower Bridge or the Westminster tower, or a red-white-blue interweaving of LONDON and the Olympic rings.
The designer really nailed it, and the fact that people are having a Rohrschach moment over it shows how powerful it is. I say it's a stylized puzzle-piece rendition of (clockwise from lower left) Wales, Ireland (or an oversized Six Counties?), Scotland (that's the squarish thing giving head), and England (outline sort of reversed), with London in the middle of all four.
It could also be just be England, with London stuck in around Coventry, but I doubt it. If you even say 'England' in England nowadays you get sent to prison under the You-Kay Race Relations Act. (A hyperbole, though not by much.)
Hmmm, or maybe it's a shotputter crouching and waving.
I didn't even see the "2012" at first. I guess the more you look at it, the more you see...
