Beijing Olympics Logo 2008 Update

Update :
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.
I have tweaked the image slightly and created a larger version for those who have asked for an image they can put on a T shirt. Click on the image for the large version.

I’ve also removed my tag from the large version - it distracts from the piece.

First posted (including smog version) here.

More information on this image and similar versions HERE.

   Lovely piece of work.

   Remember there are (literally) millions of Christians being persecuted within China for their faith. Whilst Tibet seems newsworthy, what about all the others under the Chinese heel ?

   PS What about a parallel graphic to represent the £9.35BN fiasco for London Olympics ?

   Nice graphics. If you don’t want anyone to use them for commercial purposes, state your license clearly. I’d pick Creative Commons BY-NC-SA. You have to remove the copyrighted logos from them first though.

   Hi, Crab,

   Oh, I should not call you crab, because it will be disgraceful to crab if you are a family member to them. GO Free Northern Ireland.
