To be honest this story is really amusing, This logo has been out since 2007 and since then we have all been looking at it thinking well it might be 2012 or it might be a kids art homework. Meanwhile in Iran the goverment has spend the same amount of time thinking why they should be offended by it.
It amazes me that a regime that treats its people so badly has even time for such a thing and if they can see Zion in this sign they are doing better than us seeing 2012 in it.
Interestingly in Iran its year 1389 which add up to 21 which is offensive as it looks like a swan and a stiff snake together :D.

is zion the same word in iranian ??
i’d boycot it because the logo looked like it was designed by an eppileptic dyslexic !
wonder if mexico are comming after top gear ??
i think it is an easy cop out rather than saying they don’t like us !!
so is it actualy inverted racism ??

I was more concerned that the 2012 logo appeared to be Liza Simpson carrying out a rude act on London……

I’ll bet the 2012 Olympic Committee caves in…
unless they got the 300,000 bags, and 5,000,000 T-shrits from China already. 🙂

I can just about connect 2012 with ZION, but the rest of your post puzzles me.:confused: Any chance of enlightenment?:)
