I meant what is the parallelogram meant to be officially. 
Unless this is one of those secret jokes the designers put in so they could laugh at the clueless organisers.
The logo gets more hilarious if you start animating it. Observe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai0y5sLg5bg
Maybe the logo designer is just being a giant troll as London 2012 is the XXX olympiad.

As to who came up with it: Wolff Olins. They got paid about £600k for it.

Fuck Iran it's not Zion it's Lisa Simpson giving head >:(
I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPAAACE!!!
2012
ZION
Right, at this point, I think we just have to blame the numbers.
The actual year is a Zionist conspiracy. As is the year 2102.

"The actual year is a Zionist conspiracy. As is the year 2102."
Well, of course. What do you think happened to the Mayan civilization?
The Jews happened, that's what. Just like they happened to Atlantis, and the dinosaurs before that. Now they've got their sights set on Iran.

FUKKEN SAVED

Man, the 2102 Winter Olympics are going to be fun...
What's precedent ever done for us?
Wh'joo lookin' at?
Bahram, you silly fool.
It's spelled Z-I-O-Z, not Z-I-O-N! It just looks like it because the Z is flipped to the side!

Clearly whoever came up with this way of writing down with these numbers should be banned from the Olympics. That'll get Iran to come back.
Let's see...
The Indian numerals were adopted by the Persian mathematicians in India, and passed on to the Arabs further west. They were transmitted to Europe in the Middle Ages. OK, we have to ban Iran.
Well, of course. What do you think happened to the Mayan civilization?

Judaism versus Iran?
JvI
Whoever wins, we lose. Unless it's Judaism, those guys are cool.

I can't believe how ugly is this logo. It's abstract went wrong. What is it suppose it resemble?
Curse you for the Lisa Simpson comment! 
Draws some Dinosaurs
Clearly they think the logo is hideous and don't want any part of anything because of it, and are just using the religious offense thing for politeness. Like saying you don't want to go to a friend's movie night because you think horror movies are gross, when really it's cause their living room they're so proud of decorating is eyeburningly hideous.
I am really sleepy.

You know the thing doesn't look as bad without that shadow on it.
Also, Wolff Olins is responsible for lots of other stupid shit. Like the new NBCUniversal identity; even if I do dislike that, I felt the reaction to it was a bit much. It's on the corporate level, I imagine most of you won't be seeing it often. (Also everybody was all "what the fuck they got rid of the peacock", completely ignoring the Universal elements)
Captionless One
Ironically, it has also been criticized for looking like the Nazi SS logo.
Which is kind of a stretch.
Indiana Solo
i have to thank this thread for making me realize what everyone meant by the lisa thing...*vomits*
I'm baaaaaaack
Cephalopod Lothario
Um...rio looks like a buttplug to my perverted mind. Just me? Or have I ruined it for you all now. Seriously. There are ways to make non-freudian art. Just stop the abstract crap.
Round 2
FIGHT!
I hope the battle between Judaism and Iran ends like this;
I am serious. This is my serious face.
Oh no. Iran is boycotting the Olympics. Whatever will we do.
About the logo: it's ugly. That's all I have to say about it. I also find it weird that the second result google suggests when you type "london logo 2012" is "london logo 2012 lisa simpson".
...
hahaha I see the 'sucking dick' reference but didnt see 'lisa simpson'
WHASSUP....... ....with lolis!
