(P)review: A Tradition I Do Not Mean to Break
- BBC publishes Goatse Olympics logo!! If you have no idea why this is a mistake, wikipedia 'goatse'. But, be warned, it's not nice.
- Early nicknames for the real logo include 'Gay swastika puzzle' and 'Tiswas disaster'. But the leading meme is of 'Lisa Simpson giving head'.
- Online petition heading on for 10,000 signatories.
- Over on Facebook, more than 50 groups have been set up to change the logo.

Oh good lord. who was on that focus group? Not since Altanta chose a flying sperm as a mascot in '96...
So, in the interests of balance, where do I sign a petition to say I like the branding? Or is this one of those votes where only the opinion of the originator matters?
It's all a bit 'Evening Standard' hysterical. Has anyone taken the time to read the web-site and understand the brand?
Rob, if you have to read about the purposes of the brand before you like the logo, then the logo has failed as a logo. We're talking about a logo here, not a work of art.
