    It was the first time I took a real interest in the Olympics and all it started with London 2012, I remember the design of the flags in the boxes of the names of the athletes, were great, and innovative, it's hard to believe that 6 years have past since then

      Yeah, it’s sporty, it’s memorable, nostalgic and the venue & pictogram banners feel inspiring

    The 2012 Summer Olympics were one of the best in my opinion. I didn't get to see it, but I watched a lot of it on TV and loved playing Mario and Sonic.

    Love the way the diving platforms at the aquatics centre were designed. Instead of being a straight support with a straight platform like traditional diving boards, the London 2012 ones were curved into a streamlined shape which looked beautiful

    London 2012 was my entry-time to the Olympics, the Games who made me interest in all the theme, from the mascots (Wenlock was the first mascot I loved) to the ceremonies.

    London 2012 will always be a memory that is ingraved in my head & my heart I love the vibrant colors & Dynamic shapes symbolizing the year & the Mascots Wenlock & Mandeville are the perfect icing & candles on the Cake
    My Mom, Sister & I were actually in London during the Olympics & that's where I met my friend & pen pal Emily I still(sorta)remember the Opening Ceremony
    After the ceremony we were in the gift shop & for souvenirs I got Wenlock, Emily got Mandeville, my sister got some Magnets & Stationary & my mom got a mug with Wenlock performing Weightlifting
    In conclusion London 2012 will always be loved in my heart I can kinda understand why you may be ehhhhh
    I get maybe your a Rio 2016 fan, a Vancouver 2010 fan, a Barcelona 1994 fan, a Nagano 1998 fan, etc
    Whatever floats your boat
    Cheers I'll tost to that all day long

    I'm still thinking that controversial logo/emblem and diferents pictograms are awful and they were not the best option in my opinión!!
    However, I think the color palette it was successful and looks great.

    • @PastPresented
      @PastPresented 2 года назад

      I have a theory that the "zion" thing (plus the emphasis on "2012"- supposed year of the Mayan prophecy- rather than "London") was a deliberate arrangement with security services so that they could follow online discussions about it from 2007 onward, and spot people who might be taking advantage of the controversy to recruit for some evil activity during the Games

  • @blauwzakjecrack
    @blauwzakjecrack 4 года назад +5

    The logo looks trashy,it dous not resemble sport or tournament or whatsoever. It should appeal to a broad audiance without context,and it clearly fails to do so as is explained by the designers in this video that it is misunderstood. The chaotic lines do give a template for more specific sports logo`s but that is just what random chaos dous, when you find logic in chaos and it makes sense dous not advocate correctness and rational logic as is proclaimed in this video.

    • @marksnow7569
      @marksnow7569 3 года назад

      Once you assume that it is deliberately designed to be misread as "ZiON" it starts to make much more sense
