Alphablog: O is for Olympic Logos
One year from today (25th July) the 2012 Olympics will be upon us.
Athletes from across the world will compete in an even wider range of sporting events than ever before, along with the familiar track and field events that tend to dominate the headlines. London will play host for the first time in 64 years, hoping to provide a perfect setting for the festival of culture, colour, energy and passion that the Olympic Games have become.

Wow. Gap, one of the most recognised clothing brands in America, spectacularly put the cat amongst the pigeons on Monday with a controversial attempt at rebranding.
