I thought it was Iran that was boycotting because it looked like "Zion." Why would Israel be upset?

Either way though, that's quite an ugly logo. What's so hard about just sticking with the traditional five rings?

It looks more like IZZO to me. The funny thing about it is Iran thinks other people actually care about the logo or their boycott Laughing

What will they do without 2 more medals????

and the O also neatly represents the head of a lion, possibly of zion. There's obviously a conspiracy at play here.

The logo is.... man you know what - I'm not even going to debase any word in existance by associating it with that thing.

Charlie Sheen's left nipple could do better in his sleep.

Charlie Sheen could make better countries than Iran and Israel in his sleep.

Dag nabbit, I've looked and looked. Then even sorta did a deed to free my mind. Sorry people but it's Monica Lewinsky! It's a conspiracy to promote Monica Lewinsky! And what the heck happened to Clinton's head????

But honestly, what in the world were they thinking? Just write 2012 or simply call it the Rated-X Olympics...kakaka....good lord I'm seriously trying to see 2012, but Lewinsky has just well...sapped the creativity from me....

Where was I when this logo came out!?

Here:

This is horrific! I don't know what's worse, that some jackass was paid to create this or that a committee exists that thinks this is worth purchasing.

It's like they took Keith Haring's ashes, mixed it with chicken blood, served it to some sad New York socialite and this is what she excreted out.
In my humble opinion, anyway.

Every Olympics has it's own logo. I remember the Sydney Olympics one had a person whose legs were a boomerang, and there was a squiggle that looked like the Opera House above him.
