Quite. They should spend it again to sort out the logo.

Witness the arrogance:
"We want our Games to be different. We are hosting them in a different
era, in 2012."

Wanting your event/design/building/whatever o be "different" is what
leads to unusable web sites, architecturally schizrophrenic cities and
logos like this. There's more than just this olympiad to consider:
there's the rich tradition and heritage of the games stretching back,
in modern times, over 100 years.
