I quite like it but it’s a bit New-Rave so i suspect it will look hideously dated by 2012 unless the designers are counting on the progress from scenester design to ultra-mainstream (traditional olympic logo territory) design takes about 5 years. I suspect in our fast moving times this might be a little long.

Reminds me a bit of Matisse’s Snail…

Maybe the Olympic mascot will be a snail.
