Ugliest Olympics Website Ever?

Check out the official website for the 2012 olympics in London. How is this even possible?

wow lol that really is quite ugly...looks fairly simple as well...I think the olympic commity should come onto digital point and get a template made for 200 bux that is 10000 times better....I imagine there budget is not an issue lol

 

This might look ugly now.. But who know, on 2012, the world web trend has changed and this one might become one of the hottest design in town.. Who know.. lolz..

 

Yep, it's bloody embarrassing!!

There's a petition circuling the net to have the logo redesigned.

 

im blind!! the goggles they do nothing!!!

 

Hope it didn't cost much.
Someone to give them some photoshop tips too ? pictures looks so fake.

I'm not a brander, but I'm sure I could have created a logo as ugly as this one for a lot cheaper.

 

this is the official site ?
maybe is the site for special olympics

 

Am not sure what to say, hmm . . . interesting lol

 

this got to be a joke. No real olympic committee would allow a site to advertise the olympic spirit this way. It really is ugly

 

I would agree that it is the ugliest Olympic logo I have ever seen. What were they thinking? I saw on the news this morning that this commercial caused approximately 30 seizures! They are debating if the commercial followed the standards.

 

theres been huge uproar in the UK over it.....loads of ppl saying its awful.

oh.... and i totally agree. the olympic comittee should just used the original in my opinion

 

I think that due to huge server load there site is now down .

 

Nope, up for me. I'm part of the younger generation it's supposed to be aimed at. Ew.

 

It does not look like a professional website but, a web page on a art site.

 

It's so horrible I actually like it.

 

ummmm interesting colors....to say the least

 

wow with as much funding as the Olympics have you would think it would be better than that. Maybe some flash..? The site doesn't even look like it could handle more than 20 visitors on it with out crashing

 

I think the logo is great (please don't flame me!) and I have to say that the FEE is probably correct as well.

When you consider that the fee will include ALL rights for the marketing of the logo in all forms and was probably designed by one of the top 4-5 design companies in Europe (the other 4 will have tendered as well) then that is probably the going rate for the job.

YES we can all say we can design something better and maybe 2-3 of you probably could but you are not in the position to be able to even pitch your designs.

I am sorry but success breeds success and you have to pay for that success!

Years ago when the National Lottery was started in the UK, the logo was lampooned as a non-starter as well. It is now probably one of THE most instantly recognised logo's in the country and needs no text for people to understand it.

I believe this logo will in time be the same.

Once again, I like it, its like a relay runner waiting for the batton, it spells 2012 and says what it is - IMHO!!!
