Contest 150: London 2012
As Michael Sinclair pointed out to me, there's been a lot of consternation over the new logo for the 2012 Olympics in London. i have to admit that when I first saw it, I was rather puzzled and even horrified: but having seen it animated, it does make a lot more sense when it's moving, and when textures are added. So here's your challenge this week: either produce a fabulous animation of this logo, or dump it and design your own from scratch. This is more of a design challenge than one directly connected with Photoshop techniques, but I think it's an interesting one.  |

don't you have it vectorized? may be useful for making a flash animation that could be exported as gif, or uploaded to another site to show it. |

I must have been hibernating for the last few days as I haven't seen the animation and it has now been removed, any clues anyone? |

Thanks for that Wayne. It was one of the naffest things I've seen for a long time! Very appropriate Ben, and that was just the start of it! |

I saw part of the animation on the news and thought the same, especially with the £400,000 price tag! I must admit though, that the variously coloured static logos are growing on me (no pun intended!) I still find the animations annoying. |

Thanks for posting the link Wayne. I kinda like the idea, but not the execution, and it's too long. I have some ideas about how I would have done it, but with only a week and without a 6-figure budget  you won't be getting the full bells-and-whistles of that idea. I'll see what I can come up with... |

Helen, the good news is the budget for this challenge was raised to £2.50p or $5 whichever is the greater, and it does come with one bell and a whis! The timescale has been extended to 154 hours. So that's OK then. The pressure is off! Ted |

UPDATED CS3 is tripping me up when it comes to using the Styles formatting when I "Merge Visible", so here are the clock hands with the drop shadows as I originally made them. Any future errors of this sort will be blamed onto CS3! Me and my mate Big Ben only want £20,000

I agree, that was money down the drain.

My first shot at a GIF file. Hope it works here. It worked in Image Ready.
