Brazil 2014 World Cup Logo

Brazil has selected it’s logo for the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, three hands in green and yellow with a reddish tint forming the World Cup Trophy, but response has not been too positive so far, with many Brazilians Twittering and posting online jokes about it. One comment stated that the design was very poor and cheap looking, and others stating that much better designs appeared online before this one was announced as the official logo.

My opinion, I think they could have made a better choice. I’ve seen some very creative designs online myself and Brazilians are very creative, artistic people and I don’t think this really represents it that well..
