(Too) much Wenlock

I hadn't meant to be away for quite so long (too much time reading other people's blogs), but it seems appropriate to rejoin the fray now that the new Olympic mascots have been unveiled.

I can do no better than report the finding of a survey of marketers, usually an optimistic bunch, saying that "30% did admit that they preferred the characters to the Olympic logo", which rather implies that 70% of them thought that they were even worse.

Or as a commenter on The Register put it: "the lovechild of the Crazy frog and the Aliens from the Simpsons".

Sounds about right to me.
