          I want to see it as well. I've seen a few others so maybe one of them is yours.

            Well basically the original article was about the big fiasco on how the current London Olymic logo is a pile of **** and it invited readers of the paper to design a better one and send it in, which is what I did.

            Here is the article the pictures were published with:

            http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_brit...icle2621820.ece

            Here is a scan showing my picture:

            http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a133/TheDogWho/beverlol.png

            and here is the original logo I sent in:
            http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/2752/london2012logown5.th.png

            I didn't spend ages on the logo, maybe an hour/hour and a half, but thats because I sent it in the next day after the original article so didn't have a lot of time to spend on it.

            Oh and The Independent is a big national newspaper [Broadsheet] for those who didn't know, not just a small local one.

              Awesome job, simple but effective. Nice luck as well, getting into a large newspaper like that.


              Not as good as my luck when I won a gamecube from the Official Nintendo Magazine 3 years ago : D

                  Now I can't understand why designs like that should be cast aside so that officials can spend people's money on jagged rubbish.

                    That's sick.

                    I look forward to 2012 more than 2010 for obvious reasons.

                      I know that this is a big deal, but didn't the last design cause seizures? Is it really that much of an accomplishment to beat that? That's like beating a kid in a wheelchair at hurdles. Congratulations on... not giving people epilepsy I guess.

                        Well they had a flashing version of it on their website which made people have epileptic fits, but the actual static logo didn't.

                          No the ordinary logo just made them feel embarassed.

                            The Inter-weaving thing on the London one is pretty bad...( the offical one) Just the way the colours run together, can anyone say puke?

                            I like your's Wifle, it's simple.
