I don't recall ever seeing that on a menu. Will they still do it even though it may not be listed?

Perhaps you need to give the head a tip first. 💡Depends who you ask, actually... the Head Waiter is your best bet

That has to be the worst logo since the Apria Healthcare logo.
I thought Fellatio was Michael Corleone's younger, lame brother.

Since you haven't had an Olympic Games in your nation for a while, Let me be the first to say: You have no idea how many times you are going to be confronted with that logo over the next five years.
In America, out US Olympic committee pimps their name and logo onto every possible product, especially in the 12 months before the Games begin. If there could be the official anti-depressant pharmaceutical of the US Olympic team, there would be one. And woe be to anyone who uses it improperly...

It's almost as ugly as spelling 'ugliest' with a 'y.'
This can't be limited to just the London committee. Didn't that have to be approved by the IOC?
Perhaps Famine's representation suggests how approval was obtained.
The logo with the river is awesome, although I'm not keen on the typeface.

There ought to be a contest on whether anyone can find anything uglier. Nothing else can approach the sheer idiocy of that five-minutes-on-a-napkin-in-a-pub design. In fact, I know for sure that a lot of prettier things have resulted from bar-napkin-sketches.

All the logo has to do is increase awareness of the event. Judging by all fuss in the press - not to mention 3 pages of coverage in some obscure computer game forum 
Considering the going rate for a page advert in a national newspaper wouldn't leave you much change from £70k - it would seem that it's £400k well spent for the organisers.

I think they have a reason for that UGLY designed logo 
maybe they just want to screw up the olympic games so that noone want to watch it or its just the money.....who knows,but whoever design this must have **** for brains and have pigs for a parent (no offence).But really,what idiot would design this?even a 3 year old kid knows how to draw better than this!!( or is it....). This has to be one of the ugliest logo of the 21st century for all i know (but it could been worse) 👎 
🤬 
I cant believe london would do this....

Well Im thinking about it and maybe in 5 years it may fit in more with a more modern London, thats what all this money and research went into? Style and tastes can change a lot in 5 years.
Right now though I think its embarrassing for our city and needs to be scrapped.
