Just look at it, it looks a bit like Hitler, doesn't it? I mean that thing in the middle is clearly his moustache, and the big thing above is his hair parted to one side.

As the vast no. of amateur entries to the BBC News website show, this logo should so have been the winner of a National Competition.
So much progress in Britain during the Victorian period was down to prizes to do this, that or the next thing, we need to get back to that and making other countries our colonies.Comment

Generally, two sets of logos are used--one for the bid process, the other for the games.

It's kinda amusing--you can tell what era many of those logos came from, throughout history:
Atlanta's bid logo was very clearly made during the 80s, trying to avoid those unsightly excesses that London's game logo seeks to employ.
Generally, the non-stuffy ones start in 1960-but these are all games logos. I have no idea about the bid logos.
The problem with the 2012 Olympic Games logo is that I fear that it will not age well--it seems as if they're counting on the 80's to come back; while there's a chance of that, I doubt it will really be huge, since we've already had the "I love the 80s" shows.B♭3Comment

Actually, now that I look at previous bid logos... (Athens 2004, for instance, or Melbourne 1996, Manchester 2000, or Quebec 2002)
...the more I think that the request that Chicago 2016 change its bid logo because of its similarity to a torch is stupid, and must be a recent rule.
