I’m gonna need atleast 8 years to ponder over this…
Posted on November 7th, 2008 by Mike under olympicsGood Magazine has a spread of prospective logos from candidate cities for the 2016 Olympics.
I guess ridiculously early contests like this are ways of telling places like Doha, ya still got a shot!
The Chi is going with a ninja star (kudos), and Tokyo has adopted the aerial view of the feared Rainbow Road course from Mario Kart 64.
Still, these all trump the London 2012 logo, in my opinion - which looks like Stewie Griffin’s crayola rendition of Pangeae. (what the deuce is that thing?!)
Take note of how the trademark stamp is even in Comic Sans font. Edgy.

My favorite was the London 2012 Goatse Logo

I was hoping that the country of Afirca was going to get it. Oh, I am sorry that sounded stupid. I meant to say the country of Africa.

I heard that the London logo when tested on TV actually gave caused epileptic seizures.

The original Chicago logo with the city skyline worked into the flame of the torch was awesome, but they had to kill it because the Olympic committee said they never ok’d the design to use their flame icon.
Lame. ninja star it is.

The London 2012 looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job.

I love the Rio logo - the sea, the sun, and the land and mountains in between - genius.

To be fair, the Chicago “ninja star” is actually one of the stars from Chicago’s own flag, which represent four events in the history of the city…
Eh, whatever. Ninja stars are cooler.
