- themoose, on 10/11/2007, -3/+84***** seizures, I'm uncontrollably vomiting.
- Indyanna, on 10/11/2007, -1/+62Actually, the logo itself looks like it's having a seizure.
- obchase, on 10/11/2007, -1/+45What are they thinking? Even I felt an epileptic fit just by looking at this thing. I know the history of Olympic logos and mascots has been controversial (remember whatizit from Atlanta?) but this thing is just ridiculous
- red7red7, on 10/11/2007, -2/+43logo nogo
- jmeskimen, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28Youtube link to ad (ignore the Lisa Simpson stuff at the end):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uo3u6s4MLU - Kratisto, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26You don't have to be epileptic for that ugly piece of work to cause convulsions.
- retral, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24Blah, this thing looks so lame.. It looks like it came right out of the 80s.
- danakin, on 10/11/2007, -3/+231991 called. It wants its logo back.
- SeaMowse, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22I have a seizure disorder, as a result of a brain hemorrhage I had several years ago. Because of that, I avoid looking at strobe lights, flashing images, intense colors that rotate or spin around. When I do look at objects like these, I begin to get dizzy, get disoriented, feel nauseous, etc. I can see why people are they chose to do this. It is no laughing matter, and very real, to those of us who suffer from epilepsy or who have a seizure disorder.
- Cytranic, on 10/11/2007, -5/+23Dont watch unless your want to die!
http://seizurebots.ytmnd.com/ - tamoneya, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18another youtube video. Full version
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8aysQbw_Xh8 - anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+181991 called. It feels offended.
- anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19Let me be the second to say, HAHAHAHAHAHA
- sjbdallas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Oh, i get it. It's 2012 in jagged mishapen letters. Hmm....still sucks.
- jamiesueaustin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15As an epileptic I appreciate them taking the time to make sure logos and adverts are fairly safe for the viewers. There was some kind of flashing "YOU'VE WON!" image on myspace the other day that gave me a twitch fit. You'd be suprised how little it takes to set off a seizure.
That being said... WHOA NELLY! THAT IS ONE UGLY LOGO! - jah434s, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Wow, it's hard to believe, but they actually made it worse by animating it.
My brain hurts. - chaesar, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Let me be the first to say, HAHAHAHAHAHA
- sjbdallas, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14It gave me a spontanious pregnancy.
- gonegoogling, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14they shoulda just used the goatse
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11It's not that bad. You'll think you are watching a music video from 1985.
- lvflashguru, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10"And a logo takes more than fifteen minutes to develop."
Apparently, somebody forgot to clue London in on that. - archer104, on 10/11/2007, -0/+101890 called: . -. .. - . ... - - ..
- winmywii, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11That ***** logo they design is sure getting them a lot of press.
- njgilligan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I can't believe they spent nearly $1,000,000us on this. What ever happened to the basic 5 rings?
- Ramble, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12*Sigh*
It's like the laughing-stock-of-the-world award got handing to us from America.
***** bunch of idiots. - sjbdallas, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I heard that logo causes projectile diarrhea
- b3mus3d, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I can like, imagine a flow chart of that
IS IT FUNNEY? > no > IS IT INFORMATIVE? > no > YOU MAY JUST BE A DICK. - dorianh49, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10and if you had a severe aversion to humorless people, like I do, you would see that YOUR statement is very offensive.
- omgomgomg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8is there anything NOT wrong with this logo?.. seriously.
- DarkDakota, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Are you trying to be a dick? cause it isn't funney, and it's not informative, so you must just be a dick
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8The damage is done though. First impressions are important.
- Lingur, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Let me be the LAST to say HAHAHA. For the love of Xena, please!
- yubbob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Anyone who does have a copy is currently on their floor chewing on their belt.
- anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Dynamic = "We use this word to make everything we design sound really cool"
Modern = "We use sans serifs"
Flexible = "It comes in different colours!"
Reflecting a brand-savvy world = "We reflect everything good; Everything good, we do the opposite" - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7First the logo is an ugly piece of *****, now it's causing epileptic seizures. Soon dead bodies will show up with ninja stars with the logo, embedded in the bodies, and the evidence will all point to the startling conclusion that the logo-ninja-stars ACTED ALONE.
- MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8So where can we see the logo? I've been looking for a seizure lately.
- satx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5IM IN UR LOGOZ GIVIN U SEIZUREZ
- haggie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9kjghdfskjhdf;kljhdfl;hegjhjhjhjhjhrsatjl;rthjk;jhtr89fbjkfvbjktrxrez
- neuros, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Don't digg me down because you don't get the reference :P
And after seeing this, does anyone else think that the £400,000 all went towards ecstasy? While watching that I almost couldn't believe that this was serious. - yoshitomi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'm honestly quite sick of hearing the Lisa Simpson joke, perhaps more sick than I was the first time I saw the logo. However, with that being said, I made this while the joke was still fresh and I just thought I'd share. I like to think it's done more tastefully (as tastefully as the crude subject allows, anyway):
http://photos-810.ak.facebook.com/ip002/v96/29/13/8806531/n8806531_35254810_3521.jpg - fLUx1337, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I thought I had had my last seizure years ago...... :(
Mine arent totally instant though, few hours later sometimes, and I can remember them perfect....
Having a seizure is the nearest thing I could imagine to dying, you feel crap when your moving everywhere and you cant even talk or move your head!
Scary stuff......although intresting after a few of em, when you know whats happening! ;)
But yeh, I had a small-ish seizure after I watched the advert.....I expect alot of others did too... - iburyfamilyguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Actually jmesmen, the seizure was for a part in the promo video that has now been removed but here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6vuccmcbCM It is flashing coloured squares everywhere, I felt sick 30 seconds in.
- rebotfc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6"I heard that logo causes projectile diarrhea"
No, projectile diarrhea caused the logo. - Arch77, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Here's a link to past Olympic logos to compare:
http://www.mapsofworld.com/olympic-trivia/olympic-emblem.html - onionizer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3in 2012, screech will be ruling the world.
- hellboy226, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3ya i think its horrible and the sheer fact that it cost over 400000 pounds- i could have created a better logo with my eyes closed and using my feet.
- anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I totally agree, wagner, but I wanted to enquire anyway. I've been coming up with a few concepts so I thought perhaps other designers may be doing the same.
- haggie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wake me up before you Logo!
- Scyth3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I definitely don't have any disorders, and all I gotta say is my head hurts from watching the video. I don't know wtf they were thinking when they came up with all that garbage.
- CedEx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Had I only known, I would have bid $850,000 on the job and do the same thing.
