Looks like the inner core of a bike muffler.

Also, that logo still looks stupid.

Damn everything for the london 2012 olympics screams ugly. I thought I would get used to the logo but it is still shitty in my eyes.

I even hate their mascots:

QFT

everything about beijing 2008 was top notch and original; the buildings, facilities, the ceremonies (pretty epic opening), etc...it was pretty much like the country was out to prove a point

are you looking at the same pics?


looks gaudy/obnoxious to me

Gridlock 06-13-2011 05:59 PM

That would look awesome...in 1984.

Everytime I see brass/gold I think 80's.

Nah, that just makes us look as bad as them. British media are famous for shitting on other people's events. They still seem to think than Jolly Old England is still the centre of the universe.

Euro7r 06-13-2011 07:45 PM

nice baton LOL

RFlush 06-13-2011 07:51 PM

I like it. Reminds me of a traditional medieval torch, which is suitable for London. I am sure once lit, it will look decent.

Wongtouski 06-13-2011 08:00 PM

I keep looking for the "Fly Emirates" sponsor logo on the torch, because all that gold screams Arab sponsorship
