CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

So I was just reading this article on Yahoo news, and was wondering if any of you guys had heard of this, and what you think about it. Apparently if you turn your head sideways, cross your eyes and read the logo upside down, it spells Zion, so Iran is now going to boycott the 2012 Olympic games. All I can say is "Wut? Are these people serious?"

On a side note, I think we should boycott it on bad design. As much as it doesn't look like it says zion, it doesn't really look like 2012 either.

While the claims of racism are ridiculously stupid, that is still a terrible logo.

It's a terrible logo in the first place, but it just says 2012. I can't even see how you can bend it around to say zion in the first place without zigzagging all over the place.

Wow, logo fail...
Canada's design was MUCH better! (then again, I'm biased)

Mech, if you read it from top to bottom then go right from there, it very vaguely represents it, I can see how people thought that.

Actually just about ANY design is better than the London logo. That thing is pure eye searing graphic design failure on all levels.

Oh, gosh. That logo is horrific. It's terrible. I hope they rethink the design.

A testament to bad design: I didn't even realize it was supposed to say "2012" until someone said something about that in this thread. XDD

A font of combined comic sans and papyrus would be easier to read.

I definitley made the worst "BLECH" face ever when I read that font description...

Who was the graphic designer behind that and what was going through their head!? Also, why are the Ohio State fans mad? Just because no Ohio sports teams can win anything does not mean we should go getting mad about stuff. Why would anyone put the name of an Ohio State player in the Olympic logo, anyway?

C'mon, our state is not that important.

I must agree. That is one 'hecka bad logo. Seriously.

I know this poor logo has already been beaten to death multiple times, but my honest thoughts when I first saw it were "Wow! What year is it? 1992?"

Anyways, back to the point, that logo isn't racist it just sucks.

I AGREE WITH THE IRANIANS! IT DOES SPELL ZION! (Shh... maybe if people agree with it enough, they'll change that violation of our poor eyes)

Actually, it is easier to read. You are officially a better graphic designer than whoever did the London logo.

Excuse me while I go cry intensely for DAYS. XDD I just wrote a small rant today about how Curlz MT is making my life so terrible. XDD

I designed a better logo.

After seeing that Olympic logo, I am having a hard time finding this offensive. It just pales in comparison.

I saw this logo before: someone said it looked like a broken-up swastika. A pink one, too.

Also, the people who designed it apparently got $600,000 for it. Now that's offensive.

is that a one or a nine?
better than confusing 2012 with zion I guess!

World hunger? What's that?

Awww, darn... *crosses afternoon activities...*

I don't know what I find more comical, the idea that they paid $600,000 for that logo or that they were thinking they could get away with only paying $600,000 for a logo for the Olympics. I mean, the event is going to be huge, you want to have the best advertising you possibly can. Otherwise, it just doesn't pay you to host it.

I looked at the logo and was all, "ZOR!!!"

I'm sorry Iran but you guys are silly for thinking this says "ZION". It's a terrible logo regardless, though.

I hope they keep it just to spite Iran's retarded claim.

Had I not read the article, I never would have noticed that it looked like Zion (if barely). Still, I can barely see the 2012. Cognitive's 2012 was much clearly...despite that 1 looking like a 9.

That was supposed to say 2012? It looked like random puzzle pieces to me.
