All the pictures look great so far and I am a fan of "Inspire a generation"

The 100 day to go mark is always the most exciting countdown number for me! It is so close, but I enjoy the build up so much and the next 3 months will be awesome with plenty of news and pictures coming through.

Inspire a generation. Such a better logo than the "Everybody's 2012" thing.

Also, can't wait for the olympics to arrive. We're getting close to the magic day...

PS: Sorry I meant "slogan". Also the Buckingham Guards making the number 100 was amazing.
