Rachel Whiteread, was the first woman to win the prestigious Turner Prize 1993. Best known for her sculpture, she created this piece using the five Olympic colours. The rings represent the famous Olympic rings, but also marks left by drinking bottles or glasses. Organisers said the stains act as "memories of a social gathering".

ALL YOU DID WAS DIP BOTTLE CAPS IN PAINT AND STAMP SOME PAPER LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!

Fine British art.

What an embarrassment for the British people. However one can hardly be surprised after the abortion of a logo that the designers came up with.

As an art student, I find these quite inspiring to be honest. Work is going to be so easy to find

This, however, would make an awesome swimming pool floor. Imagine divers trying to focus before jumping!

*edit* I can't believe that the Union Jack colours weren't used by somebody.

Curunen · 4 Nov 2011 at 23:40

The "lost TV signal" is the only one that I can barely accept - at least it would fit in well on train platforms.

The rest of them are utter ****.

Now most countries would showcase their top graphic design agencies to celebrate excellence in concept and execution. We ask a dozen artists from an incredibly narrow and elitist strata of navel gazers and get something that could be pulled out of the waste bin in a primary school art class.

I'm sure Charles Saatchi will think they're the dog's danglies though.

Reminds me of Harry Enfield sketch "I saw you coming"

Fact is art like this would be priced at astronomical levels.

London 2012: Earth laughing stock once again.

First the logo and now these. Is somebody high up doing this on purpose for some kind of elaborate troll?

Hahaha, seen the posters this morning, bloody dreadful if you ask me.
My one-legged cat could do better.

Under a minute in Paint, it looks French... and I'd still sooner put it on my wall than any of those.

Jono · 5 Nov 2011 at 00:12

Now that I like

At least it's actually advertising British Olympics.
It's exactly the same as the logo thread we had on here.

4) Some kind a roman pot theme going on.

Jono said:
That sprinting roman jug thing offends my eyes more than the rest, and I can't quite figure out why. It's .... it's grotesque!

Wow! What is this thing? Is that a ****ing wookie ?!

You know what guys? It's not too late. Let's lobby, then get a page where people can submit projects of logos and posters. And a page where UK internauts can vote for them. We'll then do internet viral campaign to use the winning logo, newspapers will love it, they'll use it (let's face it, everyone in media hates the logo with odd character performing felliato on himself and the one eye penis mascots). We'll give t-shirt makers free rights to use the logo, make some bumper stickers, it will be everywhere...

Jono · 5 Nov 2011 at 00:53

Oh god, I'd forgotten about the penis mascots.

Biohazard · 5 Nov 2011 at 00:55

The one on the right has wet itself.

Skillmister · 5 Nov 2011 at 01:10

What the actual **** at the 'swimming' big blue mess.

Jono · 5 Nov 2011 at 01:13

What irks me the most about the whole... London 2012 marketing thing, or whatever you want to call it, is, as far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing that has anything to do with London/UK/Britishness with any of the ... things.
