London 2012 Olympic Logo Causes Epileptic Fits!

Incredible! I read this on Lenina’s blog first, but feel the need to express my incredulity as well.
An animation of the selected official logo for the Olympics 2012 in London seems to cause fits in people with photosensitive epilepsy. 23,000 UK citizens mights be affected if they see it on television - not to forget those of the visitors who have epilepsy.
It’s painful enough to look at that logo even for us regular folks - and sooooo 80s! That would have sold as a T-shirt when I was 12, back in 1986!
Oh yes, and the shape in the landscape on the left, that’s the logo as well - it’s supposed to signify 2012.
They thought it was so brilliantly designed they decided they would build the whole Olympic arena in its likeness! Gasp! I hope THAT at least is not going to come true…
Some decisions should just not be left to officials…

If you read the logo horizontally it spells out 2012. But have you noticed that if you read the logo vertically instead of horizontally that it just as clearly spells out ZION? What’s up with that?

Are you saying this is part of a Zionist conspiracy? Hey, first thought that came to my mind when I read your comment was the song Iron, Lion, Zion by Bob Marley. I’d rather like to know what the little square in the middle is doing there and is supposed to signify - it could belong to the shape in the bottom left corner to form a Y - and if read it counterclockwise, starting in the bottom right, it reads NOZY. Is it actually a hip hop revolution that’s lying ahead of us?

Btw, and if this is their logo, what is their mascot going to look like?

It’s a disaster, even before I thought about Zionist conspiracies…

Also, bearing in mind that the design competition cost £400000, how could they choose this one out of what must have been thousands upon thousands of entries?? The mind boggles.

I could imagine that whoever developed the logo (certainly an agency, not an individual) won on behalf of the story built around it - probably bullshitting them about the shape of the pitches and running tracks (see photograph above).
