London Olympic logo triggers debate
伦敦奥运会徽公布
The logo for the 2012 London Olympics was unveiled Monday. But critics immediately condemned it as "hideous" and a waste of money.
The jagged emblem comes in a series of bright shades of pink, blue, green and orange.
The organizing committee chief said it will act as a reminder of their promise to use the Olympic spirit to inspire everyone and reach out to young people around the world.
Organizers hope the logo will help boost its campaign to raise two billion pounds to stage the Games.
Initial public reaction was less than positive.
A poll by the BBC News website asked readers to give it a gold, silver or bronze medal, or a wooden spoon if they really didn't like it. Eighty three percent gave it a wooden spoon.
