Ulterior Motif




I have long had a keen interest in graphic design (though you may think otherwise looking at this site), and instances of either very good or very bad design often catch my eye when looking at magazines or browsing the web.

Remember all the fuss when the London 2012 Olympic logo (below) was launched? Mostly I think people were just incredulous that it could have been created by an adult, let alone a professional designer.

The uproar seems to have died down now, as everyone has moved on to whining about ticket allocation. But anyway, it could have been a lot worse if they'd hired the guy who did this one ê for the Brazilian Institute of Oriental Studies:

It is, of course, a Japanese-style house in front of a rising sun. You should be ashamed for thinking that.
