The London 2012 Olympic Motto has been revealed:
Possibly the most ironic motto considering they spent billions of the Olympics rather than other more necessary things. They're inspiring us to spend money on impressing others rather than solid foundations.Quote:
Inspire a Generation
Of course the aim of the Olympics is to impress others: it's free advertising for the whole of the UK! It would be fantastic if the money was returned in the form of Tourism, but I highly doubt the number will be anywhere near - even over the period of the next few years! :P
I agree, it's pretty ironic and I'm not feeling it! The Beijing Olympics had a much better motto. Hopefully they can put across that ideology within the course of the event.
Free advertising. lmao.Quote:

£25 billion is hardly free?Quote:

It's an alright motto, there is not much else to say really - it certainly has the "motto-esque" feel about it :P
As for the logo... I can no longer watch The Simpsons :(
