Pink Blog

So this is the logo for the 2012 Olympics. It’s pink, or at least fuschia…but that is about all I can identify about it. Is this supposed to represent anything? Is it supposed to say anything? What is that dot in the middle for, is that an extension on the second “2″ or is it just a dot, or…? I swear, this thing is really strange. The website doesn’t shed any light on how the logo was chosen, it only says that it will be “instantly recognisable amongst all age groups, all around the world.” Also, I notice that at the bottom of that page there are “standard colors” listed, so this logo might not always be pink, but that’s what I’ve seen it in mostly so far. If you want to learn more about the logos and mascots of the modern Olympics, visit Al Daver’s site or the Olympic Games logos category on Wikipedia.
