Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner...

I have mixed feelings about the Olympics coming to London in 2012. On the one hand, we hardly ever win anything, so it makes a nice change. On the other, it's going to be an utter disaster, financially and logistically.

And then there's the logo. Which looks like this. Now, it doesn't take much imagination to conjure up all kinds of interpretations for this image, which is frankly embarrassing, especially since it cost £400,000 to develop. I didn't even notice, until it was pointed out, that it's kind of made up of "2012" and a map of London. Kind of.

The really, really bad thing is that there have been some really good amateur ones posted in the last few hours (this one in particular), that look soooo much better than the real thing.

There are days when it's just too humiliating. I shall be wearing dark glasses for the next week...
