according to foreign sources , when the London 2012 Olympic Games emblem was published three years ago , the UK on the design of their strange puzzle -like disdain for this week three , the Olympic mascot officially released , the organizers strongly To avoid the recurrence of similar criticisms , but proved to be the voice of criticism of the more intense .
"Look , I do not know what to say. Olympic mascots often become the laughing stock , but two mascots , ah , looks like such a ridiculous level to push a new level . " said a London public . The two weird there is still a complex image of the background behind the story is a children's author wrote it. The story explains why the two mascots have only one eye (on behalf of the camera lens used to capture things in the world ) , why there is light yellow overhead lights (on behalf of the iconic London taxi ), but not clearly explained Why are these two guys look like Pixar films often appear steel scrap . And, in fact , the publisher can explain these details for me to feel more strange things . Why the left with a guy like oven mitts ? Where their feet ? Is this design is a metaphor to express we can not escape the meaning of global warming ?
The official mascot for the children involved in the design of deeply proud , This is one to be accepted, because this design is indeed like a second-year pupils in class work . Locke and Mandeville two mascots paper looks like an integrated proposal for each child . "They should be only one eye ! " "If they karate , I shall be extremely cool ! "" I want them to fly ! " There is no filter designer to accept these views , the London mascot design is simply too complex To be added .
Naturally, the official will argue that the mascot for the children , not adults designed to convince kids to buy them a lot of adults with the so-called mascot of licensed merchandise . But this argument is also untenable . In order to meet the child and can not be a reason for mediocre design . As mentioned above, Pixar 's movies but also to cater to the tastes of children , but they are also able to make adult films resonate .
The name comes from the Wenlock Shropshire is located in the Marche • Wenlock Village, the 19th century, there have been held Wenlock Games , which inspired the modern Olympic Games Pierre de Coubertin was inspired to create . Paralympic Games in specially set up the hospital, there was the name of Mandeville . Although both characters in the novel like Tolkien , but two names pretty well , and this is the only mascot who embodies the characteristics of the local United Kingdom .
London 2012 Olympic Organizing Committee for the reason to explain the design of the mascot , also released a special video . But do not know why , only make it look more alien to the mascot .
