If I am going to criticize the work of another artist than I have to 'throw my hat into the ring' and see if I can submit a better version.
The premise of the poster was to resonate swimming. Howard Hodgkin chose blue, thrashing, brush strokes to resonate the ferocity of our sport. I chose to graphically illustrate the objective.
I gave myself one-hour to come up with completed concept poster design: I lost; took 1-hour-10-minutes.
Above is my version; below is the official London 2012 Version.
Flame away, I am open to constructive criticisms and well crafted insults.

I like your design --I would hang it in my office with my other swimming posters
I will make a high rez PDF and give it away for free to anyone who wants it. This way a person can go to Kinkos, their own desktop printer or go perhaps go "swanky" and get a Glicée print on archival paper any size they want.
You can post it on the web, or print on the cover of a book but please credit me.
I am amazingly flattered. :-D

Nicely done, Tony.
If you had months and months of time and pounds and pounds of money - as the other artist had for this job - you might have over-thought this, just as the other artist did.
Than you. :-D
If I had months-and-months & Pounds-&-Pounds -- Especially the pounds-& -Pounds --WOW!
I like it too!
Yours is far better.
Most modern art is worthless.
