I can pretty much guarantee that the designers that did this logo are actually thinking "i told you so" as it reeks of "management interference" I bet there were hundreds of better designs like this, but some "consultant" told the comittee that the design need to speak to the youth of London... surprised it's not a gun or a knife ;)

That does appear to be shit. It's also a Brand not a logo, no it's logo.
And even better it's going to evolve ofver the next 6 years!
Like a particularly nasty flu virus that kills old ladies.
Super.

I love that this has caused so much negative response!
I think it has echoes of a swastika - that classic symbol of togetherness and harmony. It certainly does speak to the (Hitler) Youth.

Maybe in a sickening act of toocleverness it will evolve into something nice?
