At first, I was slightly disappointed with the newly presented London 2012 Olympics logo. It really looked too random and not very dynamic to me. But the promotion video actually showed me how the concept could fit as a whole.

Judge yourself:

I actually quite like the edgy jigsaw shapes of the logo and can see them emerging and fitting into the London cityscape over time. Of course, we need to get familiar with the broader picture of the communication strategy as the logo is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole branding. It’s the most visible though.
