The 2012 London Olympics is only a year away now and it is at this time
that the world is starting to pay more attention to the logo that will
define the games. This bright-coloured creation was the brainchild of
international brand consultancy agency, Wolff Olins, and was produced at
a cost of £400,000, which since it was unveiled in 2007 has been the
subject of much debate and controversy.
An early poll by the BBC website saw more than 80% of the voters give the logo the lowest possible rating and led many people to submit their own designs as an alternative. The logo has also been criticized for appearing to be everything from looking like a pornographic representation of the cartoon character Lisa Simpson, to two people making love, to a distorted Swastika, and to more recently as alleged by Iran officials, a hidden Zion message that has prompted them to threaten to boycott the games unless it is changed.
Wolff Olins claims that their logo is "...unconventionally bold, deliberately spirited and unexpectedly dissonant, echoing London’s qualities of a modern, edgy city. Containing neither sporting images nor pictures of London landmarks, the emblem shows that the Games is more than London, more than sport."
Although I do struggle to see these alleged hidden images, I can't help but wonder whether the £400,000 could have been better spent on a logo that better garnered the support of the people that it represents.

Each week it is always difficult to choose the best goal! With lots of things to weigh up like technicality, timing, scoreline, difficulty and awesomeness.This week I had it down to 2 goals - Cheik Tiote and Niko Kranjcar - Both goals were scored when their team needed it and both goals had a certain quality about them. However (despite being a Spurs fan and despite Kranjcar scored using his opposite foot) I have to give it to Tiote due to the pure difficulty of hitting the kind of ball he did, and to clear everyone in his way and beat the keeper low to his right is incredible! The fact that it brought the score to 4-4 was icing on the cake.

Plenty of games this weekend could have received this honour, with over 40 goals scored in the Premier League, however it is Newcastle's stunning comeback from 4-0 down at half time that takes the cake. In this game we see everything from terrible defending to a contender for the Goal of the Week crown, plus we see a red card, a couple of penalties but the best thing....Arsenal being pegged back after being in such a demanding position. The Gunners have done that twice this season, the other being at the Emirates against the Spurs where they gave up a 2-0 half time lead to eventually go down 3-2.Click the picture or here to enjoy the highlights: Match Highlights - Newcastle V Arsenal
