Quick Favour
I have a favour to ask, take a look at this.
Now, sign this petition to Change The London 2012 Logo
How can going from this (our Candidate city logo)
to that be an improvement?! I mean the colours they chose alone are enough to make me want to cry! It’s like a bad 80s MTV like logo.
I always get afraid when the eyes of the world are drawn this way (to the UK I mean not to me specifically). I feel like a parent at an event who really hopes her kids will sit still and behave while knowing they’re going to thow a tantrum as everyone else looks on.
The last time we held anything impressive was the Commonwealth Games which all went well and I breathed a sigh of relief… and then the last ‘great’ idea of the closing ceremony was to turn the stadium into a club complete with moron DJ’s, embarrassed looking athlete’s and ‘woot-woot’s’. I hid under the sofa until it all went away.
And it’s a sporting event so no fear there then. I mean, our fans are a picture of self restrain and fair play whenever they go abroad? Right?!
But the logo… Oh God…. Please let it be a really late April Fool’s joke. Please!
Okay, my civic duty against the UK embarrassing the crap out of itself again… I have DVDs to watch.
Update: The petition is now hovering at 50,000 signatures – in 2 days. Sign… sign… sign…

You know what happened don’t you? The work experience kid suggested that one for a laugh, but they went with it so as not to hurt his feelings.
thethinker – with the fear of sounding all I don’t knoe something I know! It makes me want to weep into my entirely English cider.
yorksdevil – I swear, I swear, I will hunt down that work experience kid and beat the crap out of him. With something heavy and unfunny!
Hmmmm, it took me a while to figure out what it actually said. Bleaurgh.
Bleurgh indeed – it just makes me want to cry every time I look at it.
[...] sorted out which logo we are using now – this Union Jack version is soooooo much better than the unholy crapola that was the pink one. Yes, I may be changing my mind on the logo. Yes, I can change my mind if I want [...]
