+$1 million for logo (with dodgy Lisa Simpson connotations)

Tell you what is a mildly confusing - I didn't write the 'lisa simpson connotataions' bit, above my name - and I have no idea what it means (figuratively).
Merged thread.

edit - OK I get it - I had seb coe in front of the picture

Riffer could have done this in 10min* for $150.

What the hell are you complaining about? You're in media -- this could be you getting £400,000 for dragging some vector shapes around!

Personally, it puts me in mind of a game of Asteroids just before your ship gets munched....

Aren't the Olympic rings coloured, with meanings behind the various colours?

But a London 2012 spokesman told BBC Sport: "The emblem is flexible and will evolve over the next five years." She added: "Our emblem needs to be modern, bold, flexible and as relevant today as in five years' time. "We want our Games to be different. We are hosting them in a different era, in 2012. "The emblem needs to work across new platforms that reach young people."

Muha ha ha ha ha ha...this means Lisa will give head in unusual positions. It sure will make the Games different. Good ol' Wolf Ollins 400,000 pounds for crap. What's next, a flexible morph into Lisa playing with herself!

Get real.

The most I made on a logo was about $4000, but it was a big corporation and that was mostly time spent at meetings, and then meeting with the next person and the board... and crap with minor changes here and there...

Nice - I charge more for corporate work - but that's the 'small business & startup rate' - I do them business cards included in that amount too.

The top half would kind of work if it was for London Zooooo.
(That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it - but then I'm not much of a Simpsons fan

).
