1,6,and 7 are the best, but I'm gonna go with 6 as I think it fits most with the simplistic theme they usually go for with the symbols.

1:  It's on fire....not a sensible idea

2: Nice but looks abit....paint.

3. Very nice but I think the colours are slightly off - too luminous.

4. Just because it has a transparent background (as Sarge said) does not make it good! This forum is hard the context of an olympic logo, lolz. + disney font.....

5. Well put together and a nice idea but just doesn't do it for me.

6. Love this one (got my vote) - simple, eye catching, slick and looks professional.

7. Nice idea with the flag but I don't think it came off too well (I'm sure with abit of tweaking it can look better).

8. I like this one but again not really my thing... I don't think it works with big ben between the rings, possibly to the side? ( - just personal preference).





All constructive criticisms. Great work guys!

#1 gets my vote since this is based on looks I guess.

But isn't that the goal of a logo/brand? To stand out from the rest?

Not necessarily. The goal of a logo is to communicate to your audience, and sometimes "standing out" isn't the best way to go about it. Also, type which is too bold or whatever wouldn't work because logos should work at small sizes as well as large, and if bold type is too bold, it screws up at small. Then there's loads more issues like printing.

lol - what I meant is that the font simply looks ugly, because it's blotchy. In any color but black, the filled in os might have worked out better - but in black, as I said, it's just too blotchy.

And about my website - I think my hosting provider's been fucking around with my stuff...

It depends on the company that hired you. Soon I will show what I mean.

I personally like the font and the logo.

For one, it was an actual logo, and a very good one at that. The font was "punk", as in 1970's punk (Sex Pistols / Clash - London Calling <-- get it? ), so it worked also. In other words, it represented three things, IMO. The old/traditional (Olympic Games), the sports aspect (look at the logo for a while, it's a running person) and something that personifies the location (the text - London-punk font)

I liked, and I like still.

Disclaimer: The above analysis is just mine, and isn't necessarily true, or what Bernie was after. He will surely comment on my analysis if I missed the mark on anything

You call it messed up typography, which is fine by me. It is your personal opinion. On the other hand, your opinion has no meaning to me, since I presume you don't make a living of designing, which I on the other hand do.

And second, I find it pretty offensive when people comment like that on a persons work, when they can't lay anything on the table themselves.

I would like for you to get out of my head Don. You are scaring me.

They're all very good, but 1, 2 and 6 stood out for their simplicity. No. 7 is creative, but I dont see it posted everywhere.
