Unpopular Olympic Logo May Cause Seizures

[Sequoia]

Organizers for the London 2012 Games hoped the jigsaw-style logo and brand would inspire Olympic fans to reach out to people all over the World. "London 2012 will be Everyone's Games, everyone's 2012," London 2012 Chairman Sebastian Coe said.

"This is the vision at the very heart of our brand. It will define the venues we build and the Games we hold and act as a reminder of our promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world. It is an invitation to take part and be involved."

Instead, the design itself has drawn unfavorable responses and an animated display has even caused epileptic seizures in viewers.

Epilepsy Action, a British health charity, said 10 people had complained about the animation and some had suffered seizures from watching images depicting a diver plunging into a pool.
