London 2012 brand police | David Airey, graphic designer

<blockquote class='posterous_long_quote'><p>It wasn’t enough that “brand police” check every bathroom in every Olympic venue removing or taping over manufacturers’ logos (on soap dispensers, wash basins and toilets).</p> <blockquote class="posterous_short_quote"><p>“At the 40 Olympics venues, 800 retailers have been banned from serving chips to avoid infringing fast-food rights secured by McDonald’s.”</p></blockquote></blockquote>

i mentioned this previously that the olympics have banned brands and logos which dont have any sponsorship with the olympics - now i dont know about you but if i saw a black tape over a logo on a soap dispenser it would make me want to know what it is! leaving these things alone and nobody would take a blind bit of notice (thats my thoughts anyway)
