Any design posted to the internet is certainly not going to be selected by LOCOG. But I guess fun to dream, right?

A torch proposal I stumbled upon.

Hmm that sort of reminds me of the count down clock ,

I’m hoping for something more organic looking.

Oh, like a matchstick? That would be within budget.

Maybe some hi-tech burning glove so the flame would actually pass hand in hand.

Good one! If the colour is black and we add led here and there and those modern 2012 lines we got the perfect design for London. Plus, the act of passing the flame with a handshake is all about British politeness. :lol:

No; not really. Royal protocol says you do NOT touch or attempt to shake hands with the royals unless they first reach out to you.

I reckon you'll be dissapointed. There's very little organic about London 2012's brand. Smooth, flowing lines are the last thing I expect to see.

Speaking of which, the cauldron speculation has all but dissapeared. Nothing's been said for months about that anywhere. :mellow:
