It looks like one of those fit the blocks in the right holes games. What a load of toss.

Come on, how much did it cost?

"Farkeley, Minge and Diatribe, the graphic designers famous for the tiling in the gents at Euston, said 'we were honoured to support the Olympics and slashed our usual fee to ?371m', according to the BBC"

They (Locog) said they were after something 'that would capture the hearts and minds of everyone, give them an emotional attachment'

Well they've half managed it. Theyve captured the minds of everyone who has seen it regardless of race colour or creed. We are all asking what the hell is it.  rubschin:

My guess is that its going be representative of the state of the olympic buildings we are rushing to build before 2012.
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Agreed?

Uncle?s ?unfinished? comment sums it up ? just like the stadium and all other facilities are likely to be on the big day.
