Who Wants To Be a Logo Designer?

Posted on 07 June 2007 by DeanHunt

I am sure that there have been times where you have considered a change of employment. The problem is that most jobs are either too complex or too hard.

So you can imagine my surprise when I recently saw the official 2012 London Olympics logo:

london 2012 olympic logo

Apparantly logo creation isn’t that difficult, according to the above even a child can just squiggle a mess on some paper and call it a “vibrant logo”.

So how much did this mess cost?

wait for it….

400,000 pounds. ($800,000)

Hands in the air… who wants to be a logo designer?

I’ve made better looking things screwing around with Paint. That design company and the Olympic committee should be ashamed.

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
