This logo fails on multiple levels. Sampada, if the logo had looked good or beautiful by any standards and not meant anything, I would have still liked it. This logo fails on multiple levels.

But I can't find a hidden meaning. Maybe that's the beauty of it...?? Okay, no there's no beauty anywhere in that monstrosity. Even a child can do better than that. Or even a non-artist!

Its the Brits. What can we expect :D hehehe - this is surely the worst logo for any sport I have seen, let alone olympics. Beats the cricket 2007 world cup mascot fair and square... and I thought the cricket one was the worst one! S ROFL. Its the Brits.

The eye in the homepage is so weird. Plus his general design tries to be good and fails miserably. (As you may have noticed I haven't even commented on the logo. Any kind of word that I thought of using seemed an understatement.) Wolff Ollins’s website has the creepiest site design I have ever seen.
