I've tried to fight it and I know it looks like dated graphic spew but, damn it, I like it! There, I said it.

At least this (http://www.london2012.com/) is far more enjoyable than the original 2012 site (http://main.london2012.com/en).

The logo, and the look, is very current Topshop on Oxford St window displayish. I think the "look" will be out by 2012. Over lens-flaring will be in!

You're probably right eucinpyos, over-lens-flaring and rounded corners. How *was* London?

London, well, it was two days of jetlag, two days of work, and four days of fun. The weather was crap though, I really feel for you guys. So cold.
