Olympic logo costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, triggers seizures

The 2012 Olympic logo is receiving a considerable amount of negative feedback concerning the overall aesthetic quality. The negativity doesn’t stop there. Apparently, the logo – under certain situations – triggers epileptic seizures for certain people.
A segment of animated footage promoting the 2012 Olympics has been removed from the organisers’ website after fears it could trigger epileptic seizures. Prof Graham Harding, who developed the test used to measure photo-sensitivity levels in TV material, said it should not be broadcast again. Charity Epilepsy Action said it had received calls from people who had suffered fits after seeing it.
I vaguely recall reading that the cost of the logo was in the ballpark arena of $400,000. For shits ‘n giggles, can anyone whip up their own rendition of the 2012 Olympic logo? If you think you can top it, drop your hosted image link in the comments.

Piece of piss.
It was not $400,000 it was £400,000 which at current exchange rates is just shy of $599,999!!
@Paul: £400,000 isn’t $599,999 USD… Try $796,856.15 USD. http://www.xe.com/ucc/

It sucks I know. But it’s at least readable and doesn’t feature a SImpson.
complete shit.
I’d really like to know what the designer was thinking of when he come up with this “thing”… better yet, what was the person(s) that approved it as the official logo thinking when he(they) did so.
Mikey’s one’s the best.
Game over. :P
The BBC has a lot of amateur made logos, much better than this one too.
Mikey’s one is amazing! =D
