What is up with the London 2012 Olympics logo?

Photo caption: Olympic icon: Boris Johnson and his hair.



The controversial 2012 Olympics logo ran into more trouble today as it emerged that a video promoting it had triggered migraines and epileptic fits.

The IOC is also now set to investigate the logo and politicians say it's childish and looks 'like Boris Johnson's hair'.

Epilepsy Action said it had received reports of 22 people having fits while watching the video, with reports of others vomiting and having migraines.

The charity said a seizure could have a "major impact" on epilepsy sufferers' lives, potentially leading to them losing their driving licences.

The promotional video was a "catastrophic mistake", according to London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

The latest catastrophe comes on the day it emerged that London Olympics chiefs will be quizzed on the fiasco surrounding the logo during a visit by inspectors from the International Olympic Committee next week.

Also, does that logo really say ZION??

Whether or not the Khazar cryptocrats plan a special move in 2012, the year of the next Olympic games, they certainly couldn’t resist parading their criminal hegemony in the odd-looking Olympic logo unveiled on 4 June. For £400,000 they got exactly what they wanted from Jewish brand-consultancy firm Wolff Olins: a deniable emblem of their shibboleth “ZION” masquerading as the date 2012. To do this they used a distracting, grafitti-like typeface in which “2” can be read as either “Z” or “N”. They then went on to arrange the characters in a square so that they can be read either horizontally ("2012") or vertically ("ZION"). Those tempted to reject this interpretation should ask themselves whether a more rational explanation can be found for an otherwise inexplicably feeble logo.
