how the fuck can 2012 logo cost 400,000. so it took an artist or consultant on say (an overestimate) £100k per year full time 5 days a week, 48 weeks in the year and 4 whole years later to come up with this bollox. Looks like some cunt in that advertising company has got a brother or father in law who is part of the olympic committee dishing out cash to some thick fuck who gave his 13yr old child 15mins to draw some crap up. 400 fucking grand
I think you are a disgrace. Of course it will take you 10 mins to copy it... I could copy the Nike/Adidas/Umbro/ any brand logo in the world in that time does that mean they are all bad designs.
@SEVERTONT That being said, the girl who made the NIke logo was payed less than 75 bucks. Fact. Disgusting fact, but fact nonetheless. She didn't get so much as a free pair of shoes.
Yea, your version is good- but when you get 4 copies of it and rotate each of them 90o one by one, then overlay them do you get all the masonic symbolism, and sacred geometry that the £400,000 version makes?!

Why is there a square dot in the middle, or is it a dot for the " i "
I hate to play the scare monger, but I wouldn't be in london during the games if you paid the as much bank of england fiat, monopoly money as our Gov gave the banks when they "crashed".
Of course when it's a logo you should use Illustrator and you'd make it even quicker, but I completely understand your point, that crap could not be done in one year like the (un)creative team behind the logo said.
The logo did not cost £400,000. The entire 2012 brand did. That money bought an entire visual identity for these Games based on a set of core values and aspirations. It bought the development of dozens of graphic patterns, a typeface, and a logo to promote and identify the 2012 Games. Essentially, it bought a "brand toolkit" for development of the brand onto various applications like merchandise & new forms of media. At £400,000, that's quite a deal.
It looks great when its animated. For example, as it is used with the Adidas brand or in the original 2012 brand-launch video. At this point, it is not being used well. It just sits there on the 2012 website, it's used quite dryly on corporate material. They should use it as its creators Wolf Ollins intended it to be used - animation, movement, make it very gritty and dissonant feeling to portray the energy and excitement of London 2012.
Yes, there is a problem with temporary art, logos and trademarks, that are used one time and one time only. If they go out of context of their intended use. As far as you are telling me - it might be such case. So far I have not seen anything, that could prove me otherwise. Maybe I should wait for it to come alive few months before the start of event.
Fuck London and it's vicious people. They allow thousands of foreign visitors to ripped off at SOHO clip joints every year. What do the authorities do? Nothing. Think about this during your next visit. BTW, don't visit this unwelcoming city.
Seems like the hot topics for London 2012 are: * Scottish independence * Free Northern Ireland * Independence for Wales * Invasion of Iraq * Afghanistan, the "Graveyard of Foreign Invaders" * Brutality of British Colonialism * Shooting innocent Brazilian in the Tube * Islamic Terrorism in U.K. * Stabbings in London * Race relations in the U.K. .......etc. And still 4 years to 2012. Any others?
Stop being mean to uk it's a good place just sometimes bad usa is badder everywere it has these things we can't stop them but they are getting better and if u dont like to london2012 dont click on video
Brilliant!! A country that has many colonies, A country that genocided American natives, A country that brainwashed people living in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, A country of which police could shoot an innocent people just because they suspected he was a terrorist, A country that has cuased so many conflicts and troubles around the world..such a "great" country is going to host Olympic games??? Shame of mankind history!! Boycott London games!! Let's act in 2012!!
and you think that we will all gonna cry because you're going to boycott olympics, and maybe US will say B to london 2012, we don't need US team on the olympic, your team can stayed home...
btw. wich country started the war in iraq? wich country destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki? not britain, but in 1996 atlanta(american city) host olympics. and what you gonna say msr 'perfect' american from 'perfect' united states
The time you use to replicate it doesn't mean anything. you didn't have to design the colour scheme/choose the font/research on the designs that have been done before etc. basically what you're doing is an observational drawing on a computer (and i must say your speed is quite slow) i'd have done it in 4 mins with illustrator)... this video means nothing.
I really like the logo now i've got used to it. Today (24th August) it wasn't pink, but had the G.B flag colours backing it, and it looked really funky! Modern and artistic who cares how much money has been spent on it now, its too late! Already spent, get over it..
400,000 pounds? that's not a lot, considering that each of Britain's 60,000,000 people only needs to contribute two-thirds of a cent in order to achieve 400,000
This logo is not real. It is from a joke website called the onion. It appeared with a headline to the effect of, "London 2012 Logo Unveiled to Stunned Silence."
ofcourse I agree that the London 2012 logo is awful... but if you honestly think that the time it takes to render a logo has anything to do with it's value, you have no understanding of what real graphic design is all about.
After reading, I've concluded that your perspective on the issue is even more ridiculous than I had previously assumed.
A) Your very first paragraph compares an hourly design rate to the amount of time it took YOU to COPY the logo (not design it). Photocopying the Bill or Rights doesn't make it any less profound of a document.
B) Your last paragraph "claims" you did this all to disprove a logically ambiguous statement "the logo must be more complicated than it looks."
i agree the logo is crap, but showing how long it takes you to draw it in photoshop is prooving what exactly?
good design is usually the simplest designs. Are you trying to say that if this logo was more complex it would have been better?! Or if it was impossible to redraw in photoshop is would have been better?!
you might be able to draw it in that time but u didnt design it and proof it etc.. did you? no! Fool - its a good logo - not brilliant but get over it - the olympics are the greatest event in the world - are you not proud? i bet you will benefit from them in some way!
This is ridiculous. U are showing this to show ppl who don't know a thing about graphic design tht it's not "more complicated than it looks." how exactly do you disprove that?! it's insulting that you perpetuate the disbelief that anyone who knows software can be a designer. U pay no attn to the process it takes to get to somethng like this. Some of the most simple logos and solutions have HOURS of research, sketching, concepting & process behind them, but your ignorance to that is incredible.
yay u can redraw a logo, maybe u should try the rings next and show the world how bad they r aswell.
The new logo is simple, creative and exciting. I love it. Sydney 2000's logo was a shape of a man and a boomerang, what a hunk of dated archetypal crap! and they would have been sent a massive bill as well. If u ppl don't like it, get back to ya nursing home!
WHAT???? THIS IS THE DESIGN OF A BRITISH? I THOUGHT THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!! OR AM I DREAMING??? oops, no, i'm not dreaming. i saw a monkey cleaning his ass because he finish "shiting". if by any chance that i am a British- i can not stand to show to the world that i look like shit.
This logo has nothing to do with sport. Looks like this event is getting hijacked by the same pseudos and luvees who ruined the Millenium Exhibition for the nation. Dreading the opening ceremony already. Tell them to find their own platform to peddle this crap.
Sure, you've mentioned -- somewhat vaguely -- the "research", but you've not taken into account the fact that even if people think it's the biggest piece of shit since Ian Hislop; it's still being talked about (I expect you at least know the relevant Oscar Wilde quote).
My my, the public is a stupid, <i>stupid</i> animal.
Fuck the logo. It looks ugly. I'm from Australia and I say the first logo they used in the voting looked fine. Now it looks crap. Londoners should have a voice in which logo is better. IT'S THEIR OLYMPIC GAMES. To the person who designed it, if you are rolling in cash, I hope you choke on your highly priced dinner.
As a graphic designer, I find this to be hilarious. I am sickened by the logo. I'm sure they bought the original concept and the idea of the logo... but the finished product does not look like they put any time or thought into it. Design like this by professional high-paid designers is the reason why CEOs of companies eliminate the creative and graphic design positions--they don't see the point if they can do it themselves. Seriously. This is a bit ridiculous.
could you of done it in 7.58sec without ever seeing it in the first place? at the end of the day its here to stay so no use shaming our own Olympics logo as brits we should defend it now and fight to make it the best god dam logo we've ever had!!and in the world! is the british way! lets make it good! whos for it!!!!! come on!! if you think your hard enough!!! :D
ps. i did a 3d cgi one in little under 4mins :P looks good in 3d i reckon i think they prob will be doing that in 2012 with hollowgram projectors :) got to remmeber its earlie days for the design
All of this causes exposer and interest in the 2012 Olypics! Why spend millions in Marketing campaigns, etc when the media, and word of mouth from the public spread the word and create more interest!
I also am a designer and true, I don't think aesthetically the logo is very good
(I mean really, Pink and Yellow??? its not a gay parade! its the f$%^in' Olympics!)
Never confuse your own ability to sing along with 'Hey Jude' with writing the song.
As a graphic designer, I could redraw that logo in less than a minute. I don't judge design by 'how long it takes,' but rather "Is it an appropriate answer to the question?" You will eventually learn that... Get your skill set up before you take 8 minutes & judge using those criteria. Keep a critical eye however, & keep at it. Maybe you're on the way to a career in design. good luck
London really should create a much better logo. In all fairness, the time they took wouldn't have been to create the logo (which you point out can be done in about 8 minutes) it would have been to compare different logo ideas and research etc. - but don't get me wrong, I hate the logo as much as everyone else!
are you a designer? is that lil' sunbleach website yours? im guessing it is. and you're saying the 2012 logo is shitty? talk about an awful logo, dude. yeah man, vectorizing handwritting is so hard. where's your concept? tell you what, take a course in corporate identity design at your local community college and then let's see how hard it is to come up with your own ideas, much less copy them.
They are a student they are still learning and im pretty sure that are one point or annother you had to do the same, though you sound like you're 15 going by the language ure using. grow up and get a life!
See? see how wasteful the logo is, a person can do it in 7:58 seconds and it took weeks or summin for the pro's? The logo itself (original) is like a baby was given a light pen
I presume that the majority of the timescale was producing the logo itself, including background primary and secondry research, developmental stages and actual production, rather than just copying an existing logo.
I could vomit up a better logo then that one. It looks like an unorganized, childish mess. Just like the London Olympics are gonna be, so really its perfect.
TRY TO CREATE AND AFTER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOUR BRAIN. I MAKED NIKE LOGO IN 30sec BUT I DIDN'T INVENT IT! PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT....BUT I WILL NOT PAY NOTHING FOR THIS!
Thanks for demonstrating you can COPY something you cock. You should draw the Nike logo next and tell us what a waste of money that logo turned out to be.
btw £400,000 has probably gone to research and exectution, that being not only the logo, but the promotional prints, videos, signalization and all the other material need for a complete branding of such a large event
Design is not about drawing the logo, it's about thinking the logo. I'm not saying that it think this is a great piece of design, just that the time it takes to recreate it is irrelevant. Why didn't you redraw nike, adidas, apple? They are all alot simpler than this one...
As has been said before the £400,000 goes into much more than that graphic designers pay packet, it paid for a lot of research, and no logo is going to take more than a day to really design, less to copy. Seeing as you seem to be a graphic designer, don't insult your trade.
i think that the people who are critizing your video are missing your point. the point is the design is lame. and who cares how they did it. it's ugly and pointless, and not innovative.
Live tracing the image would not be recreating it. It would be tracing it. The reason the video was not done using Corel Draw is that I do not have it on this, my home computer, my only access to vector design programs are in college. However, the reason for the video is to show to the general public, who may not have much knowledge about graphics, how easily it can be done as some people may have believed that "it must be harder than it looks".
it's obvious, anyone with some little computer knowledge can recreate the logo - as shown on this video. I like the logo for London 2012, but I do see the reason why they chose... I just dont think it's effective. You should be specific in your description for this video. As a graphic designer you should undrstand how frustrating is to have IDIOTS telling yo how easily is to make a logo. A logo is more than just a logo.
I don't see the point in this video. You could do/say the same with every logo that exists. Your point is even more confusing as you appear to have created a very poor version. I'd love to know why you actually did this. Do you honestly believe that one person just sat down and did what you just did? If so, that's a very deluded sense of what the graphic industry is like.
Yeah. Congrats on being able to replicate an already designed logo in 7 mins. My sister could do that in paint. Next time try designing to a brief you've been given in 7 minutes - that involves your market research, involvement with project leaders etc. POOR video.
And so the winner for the new event for money wasting is... the London Organising Committee. Some other suggestions took 5 minutes and were better than that £400,000 dross
people say that the thought of the logo makes it good but anyone can use the drawing tool in ms paint and scibble until they have somthing looking remotely real
This is more fitting for kids under 12yrs. This logo's Not very suitable for adults. They could have came up with something else really. It's really funny that it took a years time and this is all they could come up with.
Copying isn't designing. See, that's what bullshit, horrible designs like that logo do... give the impression that true artist and designers don't do anything that the average dipshit with a computer can do. THAT'S why design like that horrific logo shouldn't be allowed. brettbradford (dot) com
But it's true. Even if you are not a designer, you can make a kicking-ass logo in less than 10 minutes. There are plenty of tools in the software playground for this. All you need is a little imagination and a lucky spark. Sorry, Designers, but it's a fact. I've seen it. I've done it.
copying is not the saMe and developing the Idea, the logo is actually bad ass, maybe u would now if had any idea if u were a designer, or at least knew how to use illustrator
I have no idea why but looking at that made me dizzy, maybe not quite dizzy but I really don't know how to explain it, I know I don't want to look at it again.
But that doesnt mean that you are able to do such work, you can rebuild it with your stolen Photoshop (cool!) But at first you need a corporate design, and that doesnt mean that you are able to click around in photoshop.
you've never made the crea, it take a long time

U pay no attn to the process it takes to get to somethng like this. Some of the most simple logos and solutions have HOURS of research, sketching, concepting & process behind them, but your ignorance to that is incredible.

This logo is a Babylonian Zionist Occult Symbol. It doesnt mean 2012 Olypmics.

yay you re-created the logo in 8 minutes... its not bloody vector though is it!! you used Photoshop selection tool.
If you knew anything at all you'd know it would of taken a hell of alot longer.
Im not defending the 2012 logo itself, as Im not keen on it myself, but the process I am defending... this is nothing like how you create a logo.
You wouldnt be saying much if you was being paid £400000 for doing it, would you?

yay u can redraw a logo, maybe u should try the rings next and show the world how bad they r aswell.
The new logo is simple, creative and exciting. I love it. Sydney 2000's logo was a shape of a man and a boomerang, what a hunk of dated archetypal crap! and they would have been sent a massive bill as well. If u ppl don't like it, get back to ya nursing home!

As a graphic designer, I find this to be hilarious. I am sickened by the logo. I'm sure they bought the original concept and the idea of the logo... but the finished product does not look like they put any time or thought into it. Design like this by professional high-paid designers is the reason why CEOs of companies eliminate the creative and graphic design positions--they don't see the point if they can do it themselves. Seriously. This is a bit ridiculous.

All of this causes exposer and interest in the 2012 Olypics! Why spend millions in Marketing campaigns, etc when the media, and word of mouth from the public spread the word and create more interest!
I also am a designer and true, I don't think aesthetically the logo is very good
(I mean really, Pink and Yellow??? its not a gay parade! its the f$%^in' Olympics!)

Never confuse your own ability to sing along with 'Hey Jude' with writing the song.
As a graphic designer, I could redraw that logo in less than a minute. I don't judge design by 'how long it takes,' but rather "Is it an appropriate answer to the question?" You will eventually learn that... Get your skill set up before you take 8 minutes & judge using those criteria. Keep a critical eye however, & keep at it. Maybe you're on the way to a career in design. good luck

London really should create a much better logo. In all fairness, the time they took wouldn't have been to create the logo (which you point out can be done in about 8 minutes) it would have been to compare different logo ideas and research etc. - but don't get me wrong, I hate the logo as much as everyone else!

are you a designer? is that lil' sunbleach website yours? im guessing it is. and you're saying the 2012 logo is shitty? talk about an awful logo, dude. yeah man, vectorizing handwritting is so hard. where's your concept? tell you what, take a course in corporate identity design at your local community college and then let's see how hard it is to come up with your own ideas, much less copy them.

Design is not about drawing the logo, it's about thinking the logo. I'm not saying that it think this is a great piece of design, just that the time it takes to recreate it is irrelevant. Why didn't you redraw nike, adidas, apple? They are all alot simpler than this one...

As has been said before the £400,000 goes into much more than that graphic designers pay packet, it paid for a lot of research, and no logo is going to take more than a day to really design, less to copy. Seeing as you seem to be a graphic designer, don't insult your trade.

I am a graphic artist. Photoshop is not for logos, therefore you FAIL. This is a joke.
Photoshop is a pixel program for IMAGES. On the other hand, Illustrator is a vector based software and it for the creation of vector graphic elements.
The only point you proved is that you FAIL. You can grab the logo into Illustrator and recreate it in 35secs by using the Live Trace mode.
charliealfonzo 4 years ago
lol, he could have done it in Illustrator the same way retard.
wijawujum 4 years ago
Live tracing the image would not be recreating it. It would be tracing it. The reason the video was not done using Corel Draw is that I do not have it on this, my home computer, my only access to vector design programs are in college. However, the reason for the video is to show to the general public, who may not have much knowledge about graphics, how easily it can be done as some people may have believed that "it must be harder than it looks".
SamFLineRider 4 years ago
it's obvious, anyone with some little computer knowledge can recreate the logo - as shown on this video. I like the logo for London 2012, but I do see the reason why they chose... I just dont think it's effective. You should be specific in your description for this video. As a graphic designer you should undrstand how frustrating is to have IDIOTS telling yo how easily is to make a logo. A logo is more than just a logo.
charliealfonzo 4 years ago
I don't see the point in this video. You could do/say the same with every logo that exists. Your point is even more confusing as you appear to have created a very poor version. I'd love to know why you actually did this. Do you honestly believe that one person just sat down and did what you just did? If so, that's a very deluded sense of what the graphic industry is like.
JustAdam7817 4 years ago

But it's true. Even if you are not a designer, you can make a kicking-ass logo in less than 10 minutes. There are plenty of tools in the software playground for this. All you need is a little imagination and a lucky spark. Sorry, Designers, but it's a fact. I've seen it. I've done it.
