shadesofblack Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 this isnt really a request...im just wondering: what do ppl think when they think of london. im trying to come up with ideas so i can start drawing a concept for the 2012 olympic in london. just something for me to have fun with but im drawing blanks or over used. of course "big ben" comes to mind but if im not correct, i believe it was used already as a logo. i asked my parents and brother and they were all in agreement that "royalty" or "the crown" sticks out. i dont know how to incorperate that into a simple yet representative design. i also have thought of the Thames river but not quite sure how to use it. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.CURRENT IDEAS:crownlionthames riverbig benwestminster abbylondon bridgeunion jackparliament..plz help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I don't think of the Beatles when I think about London--I think about the Beatle when I think about Liverpool...

Gamingboy Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Big Ben, Union Jack, the queen, the Thames and then this one bad movie I saw a few years ago. It was called Gorgo. Insert Witty Signature Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgo had a great moment in it though when they realize...(Okay I won't give it away--but it is a great moment...)

Jigga Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I agree with what everyone else has said, but let me add The Tower of London, Double Decker Buses, those awesome looking red phone booths, the ever stoic Buckingham Palace Guards, Bobbies' hats (my personal favorite), and for some strange reason, Tea Time.Oh, horrible food and beautiful women with bad teeth too...just kidding...

It's worked for me in the past. Cheers! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.
