Eeek, justification for this logo is that it appeals to a young audience. When will people
understand that bright colours does not 'young' instantly make. Even so, okay if this was a logo to
be cool for a week, but its a logo that Londoners, like it or not, will have to live with for the
next FIVE YEARS - there the longevity aspect. Note the role of Tate Modern in the promo video,
ironic considering what I heard about the Arts Olympiad already funneling arts money across the
country into a rather narrow remit. I don’t care about the ‘tax payer’s money’ argument in regards
to paying the people who designed the logo, I care about having to live with it for years. I would
rather have had a dull business logo that I could quietly dislike but generally ignore.
