BlowUP Media and The Persuaders showcase Olympic logo

Poster contractor BlowUP Media and media agency The Persuaders showcased the London Olympic Bid 2012 Committee’s logo on a giant poster outside Tate Modern art gallery. The multicoloured logo was designed by Kino Design, and chosen by a panel of experts, Olympians, athletes and Londoners after an open competition against over 1,000 entries. The logo features a ribbon representing the River Thames, with the five different colours reflecting the five continents of the world.

Bid chairman Barbara Cassani says: ‘To me, the ribbon brings to mind the medals Olympians and Paralympians will come to London to compete for in 2012, or it could be the finishing line of a world-class race.’
