hahah that's gotta be the worst mascot ever.


Instead, Wenlock and Mandeville, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic mascots, elicited mostly baffled reactions as to just what they were at their unveiling today.

With a metallic finish, a single large eye made out of a camera lens, a London taxi light on their heads and the Olympic rings represented as friendship bracelets on their wrists, they resemble characters dreamed up for a Pixar animation.

Oh jeez, 2012 is going to be even more embarrassing than I first thought.

Did the guy who wrote that ever watch a Pixar film?
 
Didn't they haveto redesign the original logo, too? Sure sumit like that happened.
 
Two dicks standing in front of a rainbow.

Nice.
 
/facepalm

Sometimes I'm embarrassed to live in this country.
 
London 2012 Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville: They are said to have been inspired by two drops of molten steel spilled while making the last girder for London's Olympic Stadium.

This is the kind of pretentious shit I'm so used to in London.
 
i know an illustrator who's designs didn't get chosen for the creation, though they did make the final run up. they were well nice.

and now we've made these what in the hell
 
Dunno about you guys but they definitely make me want to run 100m.
 
This combined with Lisa Simpson giving head and you've got one hell of a show.
 
They really confirm my suspicions that the whole thing is just an elaborate scam to make money for those who know the right people.

Really, it's all costing so much money. The logo themselves cost hundreds of thousands of pounds as I recall, how the **** are they getting away with this. It's just taxpayer money getting pissed away by our politicians giving favours to friends.
 
I know the scam behind this and no one has picked it up yet when I saw this on TV earlier tonight. It's all about advertising and marketing. Well yeah that's obvious you might think...but I don't mean the Olympics I mean the marketing company.

The marketing company who did this piece of pretentious arty shite is called IRIS MARKETING. You can't get it past me that they made mascots intentionally with huge eyes with an 'iris for as a camera lense'. Seb Coe fell for this marketing bullshit. It's nothing to do with 'inspiring young people' 'dynamism' and all those other worn out terms. It's straight up shameless self promotion.

And they look shite.

He even looks like a moron. Read this puerile nonsense about the mascots and their profiles about what they like. All. Rubbish. Stop paying for jobs badly done.

I guess I'm the only one. I think they're all ****in' right. **** it. Some shit out of Monsters, Inc.? (don't think I actually saw that movie)

Actually the only moron here is the client that payed the marketing company for this "brilliant" mascot.
 
Looks like something outta Pokemon tbh. Look like Unknowns with arms and legs.
 
IT REPRESENTS THE INVASIVE USE OF CCTV IN PUBLIC PLACES conspiracy MORE AT TEN


Yeah they're pretty awful, but then again all mascots are.
 
Since when does the olympics need mascots? Mascots are for teams, not the event itself.
 
They remind me of the little green guys in Commander Keen. Anyone remember them?
 
The statues look better than the ****ing huge mascots.

And of course the Olympics, who's logo represents world governance, would have shit logos. They always have shit logos.
 
They don't look like Condoms(I don't even know HOW Stern came to that conclusion), but they do look weird.

Same, reminds me of those new ps3 things that everyone said looked like dildos when they clearly looked way more like massage wands.
 
You ****ers have got to get more anthropomorphic animals.
