The next Olympic Games will be in 2012 and will be held throughout all of the UK.
To make its presence known as the official Olympic Games host, the nation has decided to give the worldwide recognized logo and new face lift – of sorts.
The new Olympic Logo consists of irregular shapes and sizes and has already been criticized by various countries participating in the every four years sports event for its awkward look.
But now Iran has voiced its opinion over the logo saying it is racist. Iran, an Islamic country, says it sees the word ‘Zion’ in the image of the Olympic logo. Zion is a biblical term referring to Jerusalem, Israel – arts enemy of Iran.
The UK New Olympic 2012 Logo
The Brits however maintain that such is pure speculation by Iran as the new logo consists of four non-symmetrical shapes each making up one number of the year 2012 and merely an attempt by the fanatic country to defame their image.
Mohammad Aliabadi, chairman for the Iranian Olympic Committee says he doesn’t see it that way:
“The new logo is enticing racists views in people. Using the word ‘Zion’ in a logo is to provoke and endanger Iran and other countries that participate in the games that support different believes and opinions,” Aliabadi writes in a letter address to the International Olympics Chairman, Jacques Rogge.
Already the logo has had to endure such demeaning terms as being awful, even vomit like. Designers of the new Olympic logo however maintain it is modern art that instills power and confidence and that the logo is well received by the youth.
The UK has no plans to change the new logo.
