<title>When Design Attacks: London&#8217;s Logo Really Making People Sick</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/unbeige/files/original/2012RippOff_468x379.jpg"><img alt="2012RippOff_468x379.jpg" src="/unbeige/files/original/2012RippOff_468x379-thumb.jpg" width="200" height="162" class="alignright" /></a></p>
<p>You asked for it, you got it! A high-flying design scandal that&#8217;s front page news! The question is, what does this really mean for anyone? We&#8217;re not sure! But we sure are excited! So excited that we&#8217;re feeling really dizzy!</p>
<p><strong>London Olympic Logo Flap Recap</strong><br />
Once again, the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070606/sp_nm/britain_olympics_logo_dc">epilepsy report from Reuters</a>; <a href="http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/change-the-london-2012-logo.html">over 50,000 people simultaneously puke</a>; Mayor <strong>Ken Livingstone</strong> says <a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23399622-details/'Don't%20pay%20Olympic%20logo%20designers%20a%20penny',%20says%20Ken%20Livingstone/article.do">don&#8217;t pay <strong>Wolff Olins</strong></a>; but <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog/wolff-olins-epilepsy-2012-film-not-us/">Wolff Olins didn&#8217;t make the video, they swear</a>; but <a href="http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/003489.html"><strong>Armin Vit</strong> likes the video</a>; <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/othersports.html?in_article_id=460258&amp;in_page_id=1781">Daily Mail readers can do better</a>; <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/06/06/olympic.logo/">CNN viewers can do better</a>; even&#8211;gasp&#8211;<a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007260156,00.html">the SUN can do better!</a>; <a href="http://www.designobserver.com/archives/025852.html"><strong>Adrian Shaughnessy</strong> bemoans the loss of his hamster</a>; <strong>Lord Coe</strong> <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/unbeige/branding_identity/dont_like_the_logo_blame_lord_coe_60432.asp">cries into his shepherd&#8217;s pie</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Critic Recap</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.serifpublishing.com/?p=2370"><strong>Peter Saville</strong></a>: &#8220;cheesy&#8221;, &#8220;brave and confrontational&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=459922&amp;in_page_id=1770"><strong>Stephen Bayley</strong></a>: &#8220;puerile mess, an artistic flop and a commercial scandal&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/design/story/0,,2095739,00.html"><strong>Michael Johnson</strong></a>: &#8220;I&#8217;m sure a lot of people will hate it&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.winterhouse.com/audio/bbc.mp3"><strong>Jessica Helfand</strong></a> (on the BBC!): &#8220;destructive, abrasive&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.winterhouse.com/audio/bbc.mp3"><strong>Adrian Shaughnessy</strong></a> (also on BBC!): &#8220;ghastly, dreadful, impoverished, bad, unmemorable, trying to be trendy&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>You know, after looking at it so much today, it almost feels like an old friend. An old friend who used to be really big back in the &#8217;80s until he started doing a lot of blow and and hanging out behind this pub in Brixton wearing the same hot pink jumpsuit from the &#8217;80s instead now it&#8217;s covered in razors and broken glass and you accidentally make eye contact and he starts reaching out towards you screaming &#8220;Please, please! Just a few pence! I don&#8217;t got no one else! I ain&#8217;t got nowhere else to go!&#8221;</p>
