It cost $796,000 and was targeted at young people. The logo was unveiled Monday and within hours an online petition was established asking for a new design.<br />London's Design Museum founder Stephen Bayley said the logo was "a puerile mess, an artistic flop and a commercial scandal."<br /><br /><br /><h2>BELOW IS THE ACTUAL SPOT- DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE EPILEPSY! </h2><br />I am not responsible for any reaction to the post.<br /><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d6vuccmcbCM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d6vuccmcbCM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
