Any suggestions? (Not sure if the design elements are too obvious or too confusing etc.)

Eel hamburger with lettuce on the side?

It's already better than the London 2012 one.

That's extraordinarily nice. I could tell what it was the moment I looked at the logo, though one downside is that it looks less like a kangeroo if you really begin to examine it (at least it did for me). I might consider changing the shape of the yellow and orange just a little.

I like the eel hamburger with lettuce on the side.

It's actually a good logo.

Not bad at all, but it´s missing the fellatio part.

Getting tense in the mountain bike race with just over a lap to go. Very close between the top three at the front.

This is easily one of my favourite events, by the way. Such a cool circuit.

I just read that David Cameron accuses us of being mad at the British just because he didn't like the questions of a journalist, what a dickhead.

"I did an interview with French television yesterday and they virtually accused us of cheating. I think they found the union jacks on the Champs Elysée a bit hard to take.

I watched the arrival of the Tour de France on french television and it was all respect and all, not "being mad at the british grrrrrrrrrr"

Magic wheels. France have accused Team GB of cheating by insinuating that we are using non-standard kit which is not on sale to the general public.

"France" accused you of nothing.

While I can say that the UK, represented by David Cameron, accused us of being sore losers.

It's not the first time Cameron is antagonistic towards us, when he calls for French tax evaders to leave France for the UK.

Thanks guys. And yeah I spent a long time adjusting the shape of the yellow/red, I really couldn't settle on anything, so I just settled on something... the yellow is of course meant to be the sun, and the red the kangaroo's body, and together they form the circle of the greater Brisbane area, the river body running through it... but it was hard to avoid it looking like a hamburger lol.

Anyone wanna make any attempts at any other Olympic logos (Tokyo, Madrid, Istanbul 2020?) (Paris 2024?) (Dubai 2028? etc etc).

Officials from the French cycling team did. If officials from Team GB accused a French person of doping or cheating then it would amount to Britain doing the accusing.

French cycling officials don't represent me, lots of officials of all kind exist in all countries.

Isabelle Gautheron (who represents France) did

"We are looking a lot at the kit they use," Gautheron told the French newspaper L'Equipe. "We are asking a lot of questions: how have they gained so many tenths of seconds? Have they found a new training process based on certain energy pathways? I am not talking about any illicit product, because anti-doping tests are so strong. Honestly, we are looking a lot at the kit they use. It is not yet time to analyse, though. It's all over for these Games."

They were laughing too much after the second set, thought the game was won. Now they need to focus and get in the game again. In the fifth set, probably.

Any French/British rivalry is treated as a joke (on both sides I hope). I wouldn't think too much about it.
