The 80s Weren't So Good the First Time Around

I've just been dying for an excuse to blog about the logo for the 2012 London Olympics, and at last I have it: designer and critic Michael Beirut was on WNYC talking about the logo, product packaging, and fonts, and his book Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design. So I can with a clear conscience tell you that an animated version of this ugly, ugly logo has been shown to cause seizures in photosensitive epileptics and to cause aesthetic nausea in anyone who is old enough to have seen Miami Vice on broadcast television.

There, I feel better for venting. Thanks.--David E
