I kind of feel bad for the designer who made the official logo, but it really is hideous.
This illustrates why I personally feel that the Olympics, as a celebration of global unity, are the perfect example of what would benefit greatly from crowd-sourcing. If we could get rid of the IOC, which has a history of exploitation, and instead crowd-sourced the entire operation, it would be a beautiful gesture of a new paradigm, and the proceeds could be better utilized for global causes.
No more locked access to broadcast networks, no more DMCA claims against protesters - take back this symbol of the people. Like this logo, it would be better, more representative snapshot of the collective global moment.

But the probability of that is nil.
