Maybe Cartoonists Should Develop Next London Olympics 2012 Logo

So Scoble wants to make cartoonists into an revenue generating business. As I continue to look for that proper leadership role, I have extreme compassion for others trying to get people to see value in their skill set and properly evaluate their future potential value so I brainstormed a bit. I have some ideas for Dawn Douglass to explore:

1) Video game companies designing graphics

2) Non-profits needing to explain their value

3) Any company or person needing to tell a story

4) Cartoon transcripts of Scoble’s PodTech interviews ;)

5) Or maybe designing a new Olympic logo for the 2012 London games!

Yikes the logo below cost 400,000 GBP ($797,000) to make according to the Guardian Limited and BBC News. The BBC stated that the video version caused reports of epileptic seizures. The numerous negative YouTube videos can be viewed here.

      Thanks for the ideas, David. I wish we were up and running already, because that’s a great idea about the logo. We could show the world what we can do by creating a large number of alternative logos. Would have been fun!

      You know I’ve seen this logo all over, and just realized yesterday that it’s supposed to say “2012.” GADS! I just thought it was clunky kindergarten shapes. Why the dash?? I don’t get it. Whoever was paid for making this logo must have a relative controlling the Game’s purse strings.
