INSANE & INSPIRING: the triumphant branding of the london 2012 olympics.

Designing for the olympics is probably one of the most coveted projects any designer or agency could dream of, but designing for the olympics in London, which is known for its design prowess just maybe a challenge. Some years back, the bad boys of brand design, wolf ollins (i like to call 'em that, cuz they're just so controversial) wowed some and riffled others when they took on this challenge to brand the 2012 olympics, it was met with some degree of criticism but we'll get to that later, however, ...  to me? .................their solution?, ........ WOW!!

This may prove to be tiring, but it sure is a nice PR move.

Heres a nicely done video of what to expect...

and the WINNER is...

I'm sure its no news that Multichoice Nigeria held a logo design competition to celebrate its 20 years of existence a while back. Well, after a seemingly long wait and much debate with regard to its authenticity (what with the ABC logo competition debacle!?), a winner has finally, (and i believe, deservedly) emerged.
