london are trying to do a very modern games..it looks vintage almost... but their trying to preserve the olympic spirit and the frienship and peacefull atmosphere.... .... ... but the venues sucks!!!!!!!! except the aquatic center
I think Lee Evans said it best with " Well you know they won't be ready, the builders nicking sand out of the long jump pit, informants sticking out the walls, paint still wet on the open day"
they were think of having the 2012 Olympics in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area and we were thrilled of the idea of it but the Olympic Officals servayed the area & thought that it was too spread out and not enough public transit systems. we would have put down new rail lines and a speed shuttle to transport the athleats to their events. Plus Baltimore and D.C. have two beltways which is a band of highways that go around the cities. The beltways have horrible rush hours.
I believe the 2012 Olympic Games in London is going to be fantastic!!! I like my nice nice British pen friend, I like the British people and I like you England!! =D
It's a stylised version of the year "2012". It doesn't have a meaning, exactly; rather, it is an empty shell which can be filled with images. It's already been done with the Union Flag, and it will also be filled with other images during the actual Olympics.
According LOCOG (London 2012 Organisers) the logo is aimed at reaching young people. It´s a representation of the number 2012 and the zero there´s the Olympic rings and the Paralympics three agitos symbol.
Particulary I would prefer a image of the Big Ben Tower and upisde of it three ribbons (representing three times which London celebrates the Games and every ribbon means ten editions of the Games).
Very exciting and motivating video! I can't wait for the London 2012 Olympics. I love the Olympics - a massive international event for us all to enjoy and celebrate worldwide. I am a volunteer for the Games as I wish to help out with our epic show.
What is the music for this video? The up-beat one throughout the video (violin sound possibly?) and also is the beeps with the lyrics "This is London" available anyway? Great words - brilliantly confident :)
AMAZING video!!! Can't wait for the London 2012 Olympic Games, there going to be so great for British people - the sport, the venues, the opportunities. Children will become more active!!!!
Bring on 2012!!! Seb, you're doing a great job - in fact the whole on the 2012 team are doing great.
I have an idea for London 2012 Olympics & Paralympics: When Sebastian Coe and the mayor of London will receive the Olympic Flame at Athens he and his team will do it with a London typical double-decker bus.
Well done LOCOG and the ODA for the excellent work so far. I am a PE teacher in a London School, and a registered volunteer for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. and cannot wait for the 27th July 2012. Superb video as ever!
2012 is going to be the best thing in London we had and a new skyline with the shard going up the 310Meter tall skyscraper that will be done that year lets just make sure the tube does well to cope with it and Eurostar Stratford station 3 years to go i think the stadium will be on time not like Wembley
What about the English... Promote and offer opportunities to the international population of London as always, but as usual foget the British!!

@livelean It's a bespoke instrumental, I think it's the same one that was used during the handover in Beijing.
