I liked both Atlanta logos, however, I’m sure they looked for a design change when they realized they had 5 anarchy signs arranged in a circle. Obviously, the new logo is more
appropriate. I also agree that the much-maligned logo for the 2012 games is ugly. In fact, I think that’s putting it politely. I have seen an alternate color scheme, where there are slightly differing shades and colors used throughout it, predominantly yellows, that make it slightly more palatable. I do not know if this was an official alternate logo but I hope they would use it if they don’t start the whole thing from scratch. There are some seriously outstanding alternatives on the internet, which are mixed in with the malignings of course.

This morning on news hour with the BBC, they were talking about how some feel this logo was a huge waste of money… it was really funny.

You’ll be proud of me. I’m running a story on the logo scandal on my sports front tomorrow. It’s actually pretty funny. I try my hand at being an Olympic judge of the amateur logos.
