I've resisted blogging about the logo, it's too embarrassing for words. It gives design by committee a bad name. Ouch! I’ve resisted blogging about the logo, it’s too embarrassing for words.

I guess all of your designers were busy. What do you think of your new Olympics logo? I guess all of your designers were busy.

Roger A - I think Eno's minimalist/slow/ambient work is a good reminder to us to slow down a bit and take some time to reflect and stop trying to get so many things done. I also love artists who express their vision in different genres/media - e.g. Bowie, Da Vinci, Mervyn Peake.

I had almost forget about him until I saw Roger von Oech's post. I think this shows that talented people are not usually just talented in one area. That is not to say that they are talented in all areas. The truly fantastic people find a way to put their talent to work in as many ways as they can. We just think they used different talents in each one. Nice post - thanks for the memories...

Fun stuff. Looks like you had fun with the give-away-the-Ball-of-Whacks contest. Maybe there's a sestina in it! Nice post. Fun stuff.
