the logo side is disgusting but I love the other side. I am guessing they are both sides :P

Whats with the lines on the first one!? If it was just the london 2012 logo It'd be amazing. Glad i don't have to win one.

They've overcomplicated the first one. Looks like a game of Ker Plunk.

Reverse features 2012 emblem as "architectural expression, a metaphor for the modern city" on a dished background evocative of an amphitheatre
A grid represents both "pulling together" and athletes radiating energy, while the River Thames symbolises London

It looks complicated but we still need the true skills to make them.
So, I think I like it lol

It looks pretty good in my opinion. The fact that the logo is fit into a triangle on the front and the back looks pretty nice too.

I'm pretty sure it's a design made on a computer and then put through a machine that engraves the gold so it's not really as skillful as you may think.

The logo on the first one is horrid, if I worked hard enough and won one of those medals I'd say it was a pretty raw deal. Who even came up with the web-like design behind the catastrophe that is the 2012 logo?
