LONDON 2012 LOGO

Tabled by Sir Philip Davies (Conservative) 17 signatures

The motion

That this House believes that the new logo for the 2012 Olympics is childish, ridiculous and a pathetic attempt to appear trendy and brings the London Olympics, which should be an event of great national pride, into disrepute; further believes that the £400,000 cost of the logo has been a spectacular waste of money and may deter companies from sponsoring the Olympics given the widespread ridicule of the logo they would be able to use; and calls on the London Olympic Committee to scrap the logo and replace it with something more appropriate which would command public support and pride.
