How about in 2004 where Olympic was back to its birthplace Athens? The logo was actually an olive wreaths or kotinos in Greek which were the crown for the ancients victors and the color of the logo comes from the Greek flag.
And for 2012 London Oympic Games, this is what the Londoners have in store for the world.
Bob Neill, 2012 Olmpics spokesman for Britain's Conservative Party who condemned the logo as "hideous" and a "waste of money" said, "Was there an open competition to supply the designs? If so, what on earth do the rejected ones look like?" Brilliant huh? I always admire the British accent and its dry humour.
Thinking in the same line of the story behind the logo for 2004 and 2008 Olympic which Greece and China added something synonym to their country into their logo, the 2012 London one seems to suggest that the British is squarish and pinkish? Some described it as "broken window", "hip-hop graffiti" and even a "distorted swastika".
Having said that, I think beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What do you think?
