Is it racist? You be the judge:

Honestly, I think Matt Groening should be more upset, it looks like Lisa Simpson is "pleasuring" Bart Simpson.

They can go fuck themselves. It doesn't look like Zion unless you try to make it do that by spinning it around in circles.

That logo is the worst logo in the history of logos, even worse than new big 10 logo. I don't think its racist, but if it gets it changed I am all for it.

I respectfully disagree. Unless they come up with something worse than leaders and legends. Then you might be onto something.OneBuckeye;695648 wrote:That logo is the worst logo in the history of logos, even worse than new big 10 logo.

...oh, Iran is offended and will boycott the Olympics in London because of that piece of shit logo?
Sounds like a personal problem & that they all should strap bombs to themselves & light the fuze right now to end their pain.
Starting with this mother fucker!
Alla Akbar.....boom!

It's fugs but I don't really see the Zion resemblance at all.

If Iran wants to boycott it, go for it. "They" are full of shit and I don't really care if they are part of the Olympics anyway.

God, that logo rapes my eyeballs. It had been months since I had seen it. Now I gotta start all over again removing it from my memory.

What the hell is the logo suppose to resemble anyways! Takes alot of work to make zion out of that. Iran boycott, that'll make a huge difference in the medal count LOL, except wrestling which they are very good at. F Iran and their dictator!!

You have to twist the hell out of it to get Zion. I kinda see what they are saying, but it's a stretch. Who cares about Iran?

I was expecting someone to think it looks like a swastika. This makes about the same amount of sense, though.

The logo looks like something from a third grade art class.

I'd ground my third grader if they turned something like that in for class.

Is this not typical of people today? Everyone wants to cry racism when things are not the way they would like them.

I think it looks like it is geared toward the white people because it spells OZZI and could be a reference to the Ozzie and Harriet show which was geared toward white people.Has anyone contacted Rev Al Sharpton for his opinion?

I can see the resemblance now that it's all moved around. I mean how is any logo that involves 2012 NOT going to look like Zion when you twist it all around? I seriously hate dumb people.

Certainly is forgettable, but racist is a spin only someone with an agenda could conjure up.

While it may be an ugly logo (I guess that is a personal decision), I see nothing racist in it.
IMO, Iran is looking for a reason to stir the pot....let those rag headed crazies stay the hell away!
