DIALOGUES -approaches for a publication

Dialogue

hi,

firstly Id like to apologise for my lack of involvement within the publication. I been extremely busy trying to tie up loose ends within my work and havent had chance to make any of the meetings.

I have a few ideas that Ive found interesting involving the word dialogue. I found a interesting blog:
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2005/10/science-of-chat-up-lines.html
Which talks about chat up lines and the science behind them. I found this statement interesting that a chat up line can be interpreted within a scientific boundary. I find the whole chat up line idea quite intriguing as it's dialogue in it's purest form as it's talking direct to a stranger in a provocative way. I also think the whole approach between man and woman and how the traditions of a man to make a move have become the norm

Also ive mentioned this before in a past comment, that I had created my project through overhearing phrases in the public house i work in. I got this idea from the website: http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/
This is interesting as it shows the level of stupidity that as become stereotypical of america. I have however found that this same trait is applicable within leeds and the colourful array characters it inhibit and the conversations they have been worthy to create a project on.

within my learning agreement i researched alot into olympic design campaigns. I especially looked into the current london 2012 log and how this is sparked a debate between current designers, olympic ambassaders and the general public. Everybody is currently aware that we have done quite well within the current games and this should improve when we host the games. Although a lot of people believe that the logo and the campaign is not a way in which us as a nation want to represented as a lot of people have called the logo a bland, illegible mess.

Here is the current logo:http://blog.brainstormbrand.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/olympics...

And heres an example of the debate:http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/2008/2007-06/05/content_887412.htm

The 2012 logo's a funny one, I really don't know what I think of it. On the one hand I know it's not a style of design I like but the more I see it the more I think it works as a brand.

I was going to argue that it's good in a sense that the logo triggers a debate about design or culture or identity, but it's not really doing that. The problem is whoever designed was going to have an impossible task pleasing everything.

Just to bring this back to dialogue it would be interesting to know what the consultation process (designers, government, general public etc) was when they designed the logo
