The Tower Bridge Fox Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Its more exiting than Eurovision and Dr who put together. But I’m not sure I understand the topic is it asking people to guess what the logo might be Or break in the 2012 offices and steel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 New London 2012 Brand June 4Anybody who can scoop the logo here before anywhere else (just like JDPinstripes for Beijing 2008) will win a bunch of prizes! I'm guessing that the new logo etc will be put on this website first. Its the Intelectual Property Office website for the UK....I think this is where all applications for new logos and trademarks are registered. I found the London 2012 bid logo on here before it was officially launched....it was only put on this site about an hour before the official press launch though.

The Tower Bridge Fox Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I wonder where they will make the announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav3n Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Finally, a new brand, which means that it's almost 100% probable that the logo and perhaps the slogan will be unveiled (along with a new design of the website). Personally, i like the actual logo, and i hope that they use the same text font for the next one (based on the traditional Underground signs at the city). The designers, Wolff Olins, are the same one who did the Athens 2004 logo (along with others like Movistar, Suez, Tate, etc.) They took arround one year and three months making the new logo, since they were announced as the once who would make it at March 2006. I don't really like the idea of scooping, i prefer to wait until the official announcement, or it will lose it's emotion. But anyway, ''live and let die''.

Kenadian Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 It is unlikely that they'll use direct design elements from the bid logo. Themes sometimes get reinterpreted - Torino's Mole, Sydney's Opera House - but I don't see the typeface being reused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tower Bridge Fox Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Oh well it was lucky we were warned our song might not win otherwise I would have been disappointed It looks like another thing the London Olympics will have to sort out is the quality of our Eurovision entrees It worked for Greece.

NY20?? Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I would also like to see them use the same font / text from the bid logo. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing those colorful ribbons, representing the Thames, show up in London's Look and Image. I'm expecting (and hoping) for something classy, yet modern and fresh. Oy, I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 OK, so we heard before that the logo is designed to appeal to the young; as one of the stated aims of the games is to get young people fit. So, which current brands appeal to that market and what do their logos/fonts/colours etc. look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Do you think they will be announcing their slogan at the same time, and their colour themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCD 2012 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Do you think they will be announcing their slogan at the same time, and their colour themes? I betting on "God save the queen" and the Union Jack colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
