Rio has an even more universal feel. Chicago looks too much like a city in Texas Madrid looks the most Olympic. Rio has an even more universal feel. Chicago looks too much like a city in Texas

The London 2012 logo is a joke. Looks like some kid scribbled on a piece of paper and they slapped the city name on it. The Madrid one is the best. The London 2012 logo is a joke.

It's been a while since I read anything about the 2012 logo design, but from memory I think your the first person I've found who actually likes it. Lisa, Rio recently won the games so you'll be seeing it a lot soon enough. Dave,

The logo really works well because it's democratic and if they won I think the organisers could have had fun with the idea. I find the Chicago one a bit too safe, it's very American and kind of a no-brainer for the designer. Personally I like the 2012 logo, I think it says a lot about London as an urban multi-cultural city with a vibrant youthful populous.

I like the new Chicago one myself. You’re not kidding about the 2012 logo looking like a 6 year old drew it, ha. I like the new Chicago one myself.
