Epilepsy Fears Over Olympic Logo

The new logo for the 2012 London Olympic Games is to be removed from the organisers' website after fears it could trigger epileptic fits.

Prof Graham Harding, who developed the test used to measure photo-sensitivity levels in TV material, said it should not be broadcast.

Charity Epilepsy Action said it had received calls from people who suffered fits after seeing the animated logo.

Organisers London 2012 said it was looking into it as a matter of urgency.

The jagged emblem, based on the date 2012, was unveiled on Monday.

We, the undersigned, call on the London Olympic committee to scrap and change the ridiculous logo unveiled for the London 2012 Olympics.
