Looks like 2012 to me

I thought that it said Paul is dead, (if you look at it backwards anyway).

It’s UGLY, and it should be replaced, because it’s ugly.

If you hold it up just right, allowing only moonlight to shine through the logo, on the wall it makes the face of Jesus. Wait 'til they find that one out!

[Venturer]

They will replace it.

The Iranians are a bit slow on the uptake, to put it mildly - this logo was first adopted and publicised a good two years ago, and has been used on all Olympics-related material ever since. It was widely rubbished on its launch for the hideous design, rather than other reasons. A bit late to object now.

Just because they're paranoid doesn't mean the Olympic commission is not out to get them...lol. Seriously though, I have read it, but that darn logo was too noiz-y.

Nah. But the Washington Wizards logo does look like a swastika with an Islamic crescent.

To rephrase the old hammer/nail saying, “When you’re a crazy muzzie, every problem looks like a Joo.”
