‘We don’t treasure logos as things, we associate them to things.’
Quote from my essay on the 2012 logo. I defended the design as logos are all about associations. The 2012 logo has little association behind it currently as the games aren’t for another year. The logo has represented a future event for several years now. It will therefore become a stronger logo during and after the 2012 games as it will have built stronger associations.
