London 2012’s head of new media, Alex Balfour (pictured right) has just won points for his organisation! OK, they didn’t publish my comments on the London 2012 blog — for the story so far see parts 1, 2 and 3. But it’s around midnight Saturday night London time, and Alex is emailing me personally.
Thanks for your comment. We’ll have to agree to disagree. For info, we didn’t publish your comment because it used inappropriate language — rather than inappropriate sentiments.
I thanked him for taking the time to reply, and told him he wins points. He replied:
I’ve been fortunate to see where the brand is going which is why I am incredibly confident in it. You may be pleasantly surprised…
I’ll admit I’ll probably take a lot of convincing, but hey… we’ll see!
For an ‘alternative’ take on the logo, see:

What was inappropriate about the language? It’s not like you peppered your posting with “cunt”.
That re-arrangement of the London logo in Richard’s link is GOLD.
Thanks, gents. As I said, it will be interesting to see where they take this brand…
