Thursday June 07, 2007 London Olympics 2012 logo Rorshach test
Much has been written and blogged about the logo unveiled the other day for the London 2012 Olympics.
It's supposed to be a graffiti-style representation of the number "2012". I had to have this explained to me - hopefully when posters featuring it start going up around London, council workers will paint them out, just as they do with Banksy's works. (In fact, here's a thought - Banksy really ought to design a London 2012 logo and paint it somewhere near Canary Wharf so the 2012 Committee see it on the way to work).
Surprisingly, it also seems to work as a Rorshach test (the best comment I've overheard is "what is Lisa Simpson doing to that poor man?"), and a puzzle that folk are playing with to see what other figures they can make with the individual shapes presented.
All being well, normal service will be resumed shortly...
