Yeah, the Olympic Logo is complete pants.

Any designs whose appeal depends on their being kept clean and are not - buildings made of white and silver materials that are great in artists' impressions and for a few weeks after their arrival but, on attracting some of the copious dirt of the outside world, quickly look stained and cheap.

On a related note, I still can't understand how so many of the metallic roof tiles in the Jubilee Line have attracted streaks of seaweedy-thick grime, despite being upside down. Some of the escalators there are beginning to resemble the inside of a sewage pipe.

beijing one is... slightly better. maybe. not very forward looking though. i see people in long robes, those shaved all around long pony-tails, possibly smoking opium, with peking opera in the background. atleast its not butt-fugly though.

heads of these committees need good kicks in the balls.

EDIT: atleast it means something as well as look like something (other than felatio). don't know how much it cost but knowing how cheap the Chinese are it was prolly 300 RMB and the designer gets a free pass to the events.

EDIT: gay chinese dude prancing around a rice field.

Nottingham County Council appear to have spent £120000 turning the letter 'N' to a slightly rakish angle.

Money well spent I'm sure you'll agree.

why i got into this business :D

but to make that kind of money you need A. a list of high profile clients which takes decades of not only honest work but political game playing and B. to know the right people.

i give myself another 10 years...

EDIT: 5.
