Racist Olympic logo?

Talk about anything in here.

$600,000

I would design the entire graphics system for the olympics for that much... not just the the logo. And it would actually say 2012, and reflect the venue. That logo doesn't say London to me. The Brazil logo looks a LOT more Olympic and interesting... the London one didn't even seem to bother to note the colors of the Olymic flag either, or the host nations flag. Somehow, they actually failed to use the colors on a flag that has EVERY BASIC COLOR.

Yeah, I could understand if someone thought it said "ZIOR", but not "ZION". Because you'd have to rotate your head for the last letter, which is inconsistent.
Everywhere like such as, and MOES.

My $.02, they need a new graphic designer cuz that's a terrible logo. As for the racism, I'm 1/4 heritage Jew and personally, I don't take offense in it. I wouldn't have known it said Zion nor 2012. If I banned the logo, it would be because it was poorly done.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

So, this logo looks like it was made by an 80s high school for some prom or whatever.


Come one, this is the Olympics; they should get more serious.

I find the logo offensive for being ugly and they paid someone for this crap.


My 8 year nephew could put out a better logo then this.

Apparently the president of Iran found Zionism in the images below.

The only thing racist about it is that there's nothing black. They must HATE black people.

How do you not see the blatant Zionist themes in this piece? Frankly, it's so Zionist I wonder if it's actually a parody.

I agree with Crystal. It just looks weird.
Getting "Zion" out of that logo must have taken a really long time, because the first thing I thought of when I saw that logo was not "Zion" or "2012". It was simply "What in the world is that?"
