oh la!!! (triple exclamation marks)

These poor guys who designed the Olympic logo. In addition to the ugly criticism, their website’s animated video some how triggered seizures. I’m not kidding. Eight people went to the hospital after having epileptic fits while watching the “water movement animation.”  It was promptly yanked after health officials made contact.

They want you to know “it was NOT the logo itself, but the animated video on their website.” 

I also stand corrected on the $800,000 cost for this branding project. It was only $400,000.
