The Olympic Rings Are Here

The Olympic rings are now in St. Pancras.

But I don’t think they are in the right position, as Sir John Betjeman appears to be puzzling.

They don’t appear to be too well finished behind either.

But the lovers don’t seem to be interested.

There won’t be too many Iranians on the Eurostars.

As they are now sporting the sign of Satan.

  1. In my opinion it rather cheapens the rings not having them painted the colours at the back as well! I hope that isnt a foretaste of the general standard of things for 2012.

  2. I just feel that they would look better, if they were more central or perhaps aligned to the superb clock. I suspect that the Olympic colours don’t sit well with Barlow’s magnificent blue roof, so that may have affected the decision.
    There was a piece on BBC London about the rings and they were certainly very professionally designed and made.
