London 2012 Logo

London 2012 Logo

When London unveiled its £400,000 2012 logo design, the masses were unimpressed.

Some claimed that it looks like "some sort of comical sex act between The Simpsons." (Note the figure resembling Lisa Simpson).

Others opined that the logo resembles a swastika.

On the flip-side, Iran has threatened to boycott the Olympics since they believe that the logo spells out "Zion."

Pick your poison, but the logo seems to be a resounding fail.

If this logo seems like a company oversight, then think again.

A-Style very intentionally created this dirty (read: buzz worthy) design.

In fact, the logo even came before the product did. After the logo became a guerrilla marketing success, the company began selling tee-shirts.

This one is more tricky.

Focus on the dancing children to see what makes the logo inappropriate.
