Yes, yes it is. the Though the Simpson’s version is more or less poking fun at it But, after doing more research, apparently it comes in a variety of colors. So much so, that the animated logo was pulled after giving people seizures.

It is ugly, even uglier than the logo of the Torino winter olympics. [http://www.olympic.org/Global/Images/Games/GamesCollectionEmblems\_540x580/winter/2006\_turin\_logo.jpg](http://www.olympic.org/Global/Images/Games/GamesCollectionEmblems_540x580/winter/2006_turin_logo.jpg) ---

I remember back a few years ago, someone on the BBC website posted an alternative 2012 Olympics Logo…and it turned out to be a prank! It was a goatse reference!
