Now that the catterwalling about the 2012 London Olympic Logo has (somewhat) died down, we can now turn attention to the 2008 Beijing Olympics Logo pictured at right. Not a bad little graphic and quite worthy of representing The Games. If you can get over China’s atrocious record of human rights abuses (which I don’t think I’m going to, anytime soon). Not to mention the lead in the chillen’s toys, and the paint on kids’ beads that was the chemical equivalent of a date rape drug. Seems Jason Clark is of a like mind as he reveals the inspiration for the 2008 Beijing Olympics logo. Alas, he’s probably only half kidding. Ah, I remember the good old days, when countries would boycott The Games for human rights reasons. Now, there’s way too much money involved - strange really, for an event that is supposed to celebrate amateur sports…
