Beautiful proposed posters for the Olympic Games in London
As anyone with eyes knows, the logo for the London Olympics is horrendous – a cross between ‘Lisa Simpson giving a blow job’ (not my description) and the Play School house with a broken upstairs window. When it was unveiled the likes of Seb Coe and Harriet Harman told us we’d learn to love it, but a couple of years on its ‘hey, my nephew does graffiti’ theme just makes me cringe, especially when compared to all the timeless designs that have come before. Thankfully, it’s only the boring Olympics and not something important like the World Cup or Champions League Final or else we’d be really screwed.
Having said that, graphic designer Alan Clark has put together series of posters which he hopes will be used in the run-up the event in three years time. As his semi-abstract works not only look beautiful, but also convey exactly the sports they’re promoting I’d advise him not get his hopes up too high.
