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:

Here is a scan showing my picture:

and here is the original logo I sent in:

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

Hey, it's really cool. Just as Caael said, simple but original. Good going, Tom. =P

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.

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.
