Number 54 in that list is pretty cool, I don't understand some peolpe's thing with including the union jack though.

Ahem... London is in Britain. Their flag is the Union Jack.

Maybe this logo will get the TV watching people to go outside and do some sports instead of watching people do it  :D
I'm mean, it's SUMMER TIME!

In Germany, people were quite annoyed by the costs of the new logo for the "Deutsche Bahn".

Okay, fine - the old logo looked very ancient, the new logo instead more modern. But after all ... swapping the colors and changing the font -- I wish I'd earn that much money that easily!

Logos for festivals and olympic games have been often a point of criticism. My "worst logo ever" is Twipsy (Expo 2000, Germany).

Nono, London is a remote island off the coast of Antarctica. :P

Yes. England was a part of Britain like Scotland and Whales. Britain became the United Kingdom in 1989 so the British no longer exist.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Well, if you went to a public school, that's probably because your textbooks are from circa 1974. :P

By the way, the USSR doesn't exist anymore either. ;) :P

They were, actually, or maybe around the beginning of the 80s.

Raa, that USSR thing still stands though. :P

Also, to all the poor Londoners saddled with that ugly logo... look on the bright side, it could always be worse; this guy could be your mascot. --> Whatizit
