deTour on Tour de


Take a look at the official logo of Tour de France. The first thought that came to my mind is that somebody must have been in Burger King when they came up with this idea. The logo looks like an assembly of french fries and onion rings. Wonder who came up with this logo? It couldn't be a Brit - very evident from the quality of the official 2012 Olympics logo. Perhaps this is a practical joke by an American? If the same guy were to design the Olympics logo, it would have taken only 5 onion rings to creativity.
In any case, the logo is pretty creative. I don't intend to be anal but I do have some objections. The O in Tour is one of the wheels. The R is either the cyclist or an old man pushing a wheel chair. We will go with the former. But, look at the U. Is that the seat? Isin't a bit too pointy for the rider? On second thoughts, if Mr.R is French, chances are he will enjoy the U seat. Whatever makes U happy or R ....
