One of the official posters for the 2012 London Olympics…you remember that design maelstrom, don’t you? The one where the logo was defamed for spelling Zion and the animated version was pulled for causing seizures? Well, this poster is probably safe for viewing by epileptics, but hardly seems to suggest anything about the Olympics. You can read commentary on the posters at CreativePro. view the slideshow of the whole set here.
One Brit commenting on the posters said:
Unfortunately we seem to have this malaise in our country where we feel we have to shock. And all we do in the end is show just how laughably crap we are. As for me, I’ll probably emigrate to France for the summer so I don’t have to watch some pathetic egg and spoon race because it is deemed to be politically correct.
(You will all be aware across the water that our schoolchildren are no longer allowed to compete at games in school because it is seen to be elitist) — hence the quality of the artwork.
