Don’t get me started on the logo! Oh my god!! What on Earth was the designer thinking? It cost £400,000 to make this thing? I remembered at the time it was unveiled a lot of people were in disgust and people started pouring in their own designs to the media to show what the logo could’ve been. I think I could’ve made a better design as well to represent London! Oh well.

I’m not even sure about the mascots too…
I know they were designed by school children but what on Earth were they thinking?! The one-eyed mascot that is to represent a camera lens… Hmmmmmmmmmm… It just looks like a one-eyed monster to me. But if children like it then… Oh well. Maybe Millwall’s Lion mascot would’ve been a better choice (a redesigned version of course!), an animated Big Ben, the Beefeaters, a football, the red buses and even pigeons!! These things all represent London!

Oh well, I guess London has to go with the flow as we always do…

So I went into Argos (a catalogue shop for the UK) on the weekend and spotted more mascots being sold!

| Mascot in the Union Jack |

| Wendlock and Mandeville London 2012 mascots |
However, this mascot Pride the Lion seems like the designer took thought into this one…
I’m afraid there’s no more time for improvement… How sad…
