London 2012 Mascot Designs
2012 Olympic Mascot Designs
Every Olympics needs at least one mascot. Apparently, the 1972 games in Munich the Olympics was the first time a mascot was used for the Olympics. It was a dog (a dachshund) called “Waldi”. That was 1972! That seems so recent doesn’t it? I would have guessed that the Olympics has been using mascots for centuries … at least! So anyway, once I got over my shock that Olypic mascots have only been around for 40 years I got to looking at the new mascot designs for the London 2012 games. Here’ s what I discovered.
