British Olympic Association Rules Out Beijing Olympics Boycott

Posted by: Beau Bo D'Or in Uncategorized, tags: 2008, Beijing, beijing olympics logo, china, Current Events, Images, Konnie Huq, logo, London, olympics, Politics, relay, tank, tibet, torch

I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this - I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
Further Update
A higher resolution image is HERE with a couple of updates to the logo and I have removed my tag as it distracts from the piece.
Update - Seems a few folk like this one, so here are the wallpapers :
800×600
1280×1024

BBC News Story Here
It just wouldn’t be good form to rock the boat, what with the British Olympics coming up four years later.
At least the Chinese can produce a descriptive logo.

…and be prepared to change if they can’t stop the Beijing smog.

   May I put that on a T-shirt? Obviously your sig will stay there, and I can put your url at the bottom as well.

   Help yourself.
   Don’t worry about the url.

   cheers

   I’d love to. Not sure about my visa next year, though.

   Brilliant idea, I hope you don’t mind it being used for an article by one of the writers at my site - if you do, feel free to email me and I’ll have it removed (There is an image credit for you in the article)
