The 2012 Olympics will be in London. They just announced the new logo. They say: "The new emblem is dynamic, modern and flexible. It will work with new technology and across traditional and new media networks." I and just about everyone else says it's ugly. It comes in the four colors above, but I don't think those are the official colors of the Olympic Rings.
They have a page called About our new look with a completely boring 4 minute film that's not really about the "new look". They also encourage people to create their own designs but you have to use their ugly templates. Here's a random sampling (click it to see the gallery).
Maybe we're misjudging it, Lord Seb Coe, chairman of the London 2012 organising committee, said "It's not a logo, it's a brand that will take us forward for the next five years." Or not.
You missed the part about how an animated version of the logo actually had to be pulled from the airwaves because it was a seizure risk. Funny, since the non-moving version is a nausea risk
