The official London Olympics symbol for 2012 is seen below. It cost £400,000 to produce. It is aimed at younger people and the internet generation. The symbol is based on the date 2012 and has been stylised as graffiti. The logo/symbol is available in blue, pink, green and orange.

Lord Coe, chairman of the London Games organising committee , said the new logo was "edgy" and appeared to suggest it was designed to provoke a strong reaction.

Tony Blair raised hopes that the symbol would leave people "inspired to make a positive change in their life" while Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, praised it as a "truly innovative brand" that would appeal to the young.
