btw - (not HD related), If your Freeview has stopped working recently (it may still do when you next scan for new, updated channels), it’s because Freeview is updating its transmission standards and you have an old set-top box. There’s nothing else for it - you have to buy a new one because the manufacturers either can not or will not update the firmware.

using those bloody olympic rings….

Liberal Conspiracy has pointed out that Amused Cynicism has tried to have its own version (a different one than mine to clear up any confusion) of an Olympics T Shirt printed at an online clothing retailer.
However, the retailer has, unsurprisingly, taken it down.
update I did post a comment on Liberal Conspiracy some time ago but, considering there have been subsequent comments, it seems that LC has either decided not to post it or (because it had two links in it) maybe an anti-spam bot chucked it out.
I’ve dealt with several online retailers and knew the design would be deleted if I tried to have my own design (below) printed.
That’s why I produced an extremely large version for anyone who wanted to take the file along to a high street retailer and have it printed on their own shirt.
However, if anyone can have several printed and make no profit whatsoever from it, I’d be happy with that.

Here’s a link to several different versions of the image, plus the T Shirt file.

and here’s where I first posted it one year ago.

Please note that the comment I make in the first post is about a notorious commercial clothing retailer and nothing to do with AC’s shirt.

If you were to visit Amused Cynicism, you will see that our designs are pretty similar.
Not a surprise really. The Tank Man image is so iconic, that it was bound to crop up a few times in Beijing Olympics images.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a similar image out there somewhere that predates my 2007 picture. I saw one a while ago (a few months after I devised mine - ooooh defensive!) and think that it was produced this year.
update I’ve had a look around the web and found the source of the version I saw recently and it was created in 2006!.
It’s on a Taiwanese site, so full credit to them for being first off the mark.

Russia stood up for self interest as well and vetoed sanctions.

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.

excuse the cliché and the reusing of a bit of an old pic.

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 :

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.
