That logo is kind of lame.
Anyway, I thought you’d be more interested in the special olympics

Too pink. I don't like the pink. maybe too abstract for the Olympics?
ok i feel foolish. i watched the youtube clip and i realized that is supposed to be a 2012. still too pink, though.
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bear

the logo is meant to be dynamic - it changes colours... however...
"According to Epilepsy Action, a UK epilepsy charity, it has been discovered that the animated version of the jagged logo has triggered epileptic fits. Consequently, it will never be able to be shown on British television."

I thought you were joking until i looked at the link.
Is there a clip of the commercial out there? I would love to see it.
hmmm...you know if it triggers seizures then what about people who suffer from migraines? flashing light and stuff can trigger a migraine.
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bear

This is pretty awful.

Haha, that's all I can see now too. It looks clearer than what it's meant to be.

I was able to see a clip of the commercial on the Today Show. It was very colorful and busy.

yeah they interviewed two people that have had the seizures. they say that after all the effort they put into marketing it - eg on myspace and what not they never figured out that it could give people seizures.
