Will it be!?
No! It is..
Two globlets of steel, named Wenlock and Mandeville. Their animated origin story is quite sweet. And they only cost a few thousand pounds, instead of the £400,000 the logo cost.
- anthropomorphic pigeons
- an animated tea-pot
- a lion
- Big Ben with arms and legs

I mean, when you look at those guys, do you think, "Athletic Competition"?
EDIT: The video is admittedly cute and everything, but really, what does it have to do with the Olympics?
But I might be out of the ordinary.
But yes, it looks incredibly like a dick.

Seriously.
Well apart from the whole renevating the area and Olympic Village thing becuase I've looked into that and it is balls-awesome.
Well, if you were the company that did a logo that resembles Lisa Simpson giving her brother head you might want to not mention it that much.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
I think Athens had the Penis Monster market cornered.
Edit: ARGH GRIMREAPER!
Agreed
Now I can't unsee it. Thanks a lot.
Did you see the 2012 Goatse logo?
I think Britain is trying to have the most inane and poorly-executed Olympics possible just to prove we don't care how well the Chinese pulled it off.

It turns out Willie ate all the pies.
EDIT: Dear Lord, I wan't even the first with that phrase.
To paraphrase Top Gear, it's like the organizers were given a list of all the designs they weren't allowed to do, and then they just... did that list.
Not....not really. I mean, look at them. It's pretty much the same meaning.
They're watching you.
Someone is trying to make a statement here.
I never finish anyth
We're beyond subtext here.
Although personally I think they look more like bottle openers.
You know, they kind of do look like bottle-openers if they lacked eyes.
Granted, now this means the London mascots are encouraging reckless alcohol consumption.

On a scale of 1 to Modern Man, how punchable?
High. Really high. Pretty much only Izzy to beat.
total bollocks...
I'm sure we'll still find many ways of showing the world how we can't run any kind of international event.
The UK is crushingly bad at self-publicity.

Look at them, man. Look at them and their shriveled-scrotum legs!
I mean... these are dickerdoodles!
Because you'll inevitably cock it up?
And what scares me the most is the inevitable Britain - Japan penis monster arms race.
(shiver)
So that's a confirmation then.
I'm actually more amazed that they were willing to pay 400k for that terrible logo than anything. Seriously, it looks like something I would have drawn on my desk sophomore year of high school.
