Hello. Welcome to the internet. It’s big. In fact it covers the entire globe, which is why when someone suggests something is the ‘Best… Ever’ and then presents a list of US-centric, predominantly male targeted magazines as the ‘Best… Ever’ it is most likely to be treated with a fair amount of contempt.
So I’m goign to have to side with Print Fetish on this one. You’re list is totally ‘pedestrian’.
They’re all pretty unimaginative. At least the London 2012 logo was a brave attempt to break with tradition and do something new. These logos simply mimic logos from previous years to diminishing effect. Obscure Graphic Symbol thing: Check. Dubious typography stating city name and year: Check. Some lame link to Olympic Rings: Sort of. Bland internationalism the bypasses the countries current graphic design superheroes: Check and ‘Cheque please’.
