Almost every logo had its scandal - London with Lisa giving Bart head, Beijing with its begging peasant, Sydney with the Chicken Head.

I remember the lead up to the Sydney Olympics and no-one seemed to want it - then it arrived and it was an amazing 2 weeks long party and everyone loved it.

Beijing on the other hand was the converse - everyone was expecting it and looking forward to it and then it came and the city went in to virtual lockdown.

You never know which way it's going to go.
