The best part about the Internet is that people can get their spoofs and parodies instantaneously - instead of waiting for late night talk shows, Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show. neil made this NYC Olympic big logo spoof for us (right), and New Yorkish shows the true NYC icons are drunk, homeless men. Of course, this probably won't sit well with the NYC 2012 committee or past and current Mayors, Police Commissioners, etc., but, people, these are PARODIES. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's okay to laugh. In the meantime, Gothamist will brace for the irate comments.

Thaty redsign deserves a t-shirt! Clap clap.
lol Thats the best damn Olympic Logo I've ever seen
Humor aside, its actually a better logo from a design standpoint. The composition is more balanced, and the imagery relates to the typography better.
That is so NYC, should be submitted to the Olympic committee.
Now that one's cute.
Hysterical! Although, technically, New York is the safest large city in America.

Looking at the logo now, I'm wondering if the original's green and blue blocks were supposed to be an oblique homage to the Twin Towers... Or is that just a New Yorker syndrome where we start seeing towers where they used to be or never were?
totally agree with simon. the red makes it so much better.
Totally agree with Simon and Smonk re: balanced design with red
Safest largest city? It depends on where you tread.
Go to the Bronx often?
Can your artist spoof the OLYMPIC bid with a logo of planes hitting the twin tower looking 2012 official logo. Let's talk about Homeland Security as protecting our homes from people like Doctoroff pushing eminent domain in Brooklyn and the West Side. Also, talk about a target for terrorist. Do they think that all the enemies of America will be taken out by 2012? Come on, there is a lot more spoofing here. How about all those resources being thown at the Olympic bid? No libraries, no schools, no firehouses, no hospitals, just a city with one stadium after another! You guys have a lot of work to do.
