    "Think you can do better?"
    uksignboards.com London 2012 Olympic Games Logo Contest

    As many will now be aware, the official logo design for the 2012 Olympic games being held in London has now been chosen. The response to this decision by many of our sites regulars was that the design is terrible and should not have been chosen at all, let alone pay the whopping £400,000 price tag for it.
    So, to add a bit of fun on this. As way of a competition, UKSB is now asking it’s members to come up with something better!

    The Rules are as follows:

    The Olympic emblem should include:
    The number 2012
    The Olympic Rings
    The word London

    "The Logo must appeal to the youth of today"

    Your graphics must be able to be cut in vinyl.
    i.e. Flat colours only, no filters, blends etc

    Competition closes Midnight 18th June 07

    1st Prize £100
    2nd Prize £50
    3rd Prize £25

    * Only “registered” users of UKSB may participate.
    * There are no limit to the amount of entries made by a single member.
    * Members from any country worldwide can enter.

    Judging:
    Moderators will choose a short list of 5 designs, “Blind”
    The final six will then be voted for by all membership holding users of the site.
    i.e. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Gold Plus and UKSG members.

    Please note:
    So as to prevent blatant copying or similarities in design. We can only except designs via email.
    If two designs are submitted by two members and both are very similar, only the first to arrive will be used as an entry.

    All entries must be sent to:

    OK OK I’ll buy you all a drink next year, 🙁

    Thanks for the comments, sorry it didn’t ‘light everyone’s candle’ but that’s the great thing about design.

    I just wanted to come up with something a bit lively and not to corporate looking, plus the kids liked it, so I guess it appealed to the ‘youth of today’ as the brief said. 😕

    Well done to Barnabas, good stuff.
