# ^ this
I've just been looking round the olympic website to see if I can find this listed among approved images - couldn't find anything, but the fact that the official font on which they spent squillions just looks like a slightly more angular verson of TEH SANS was deeply disappointing.

# I've had a nosey
round the various official sites and I can't find it anywhere. My guess is some bored council underling who did it for a laugh is probably being hauled over the coals as we speak.
