In trying to keep it clean and still express my feelings to this livery and the 2012 Olympics in general.....
I HATE THIS LIVERY!!! HOW DARE YOU PAINT A PIECE OF BRITISH AND FRENCH ENGINEERING LIKE THAT?!?! Seeing that livery combination is akin to having Sean Connery dress up as a drag queen, and just as welcome if you ask me.
Also.... the logo for the 2012 Olympics looks like Lisa Simpson giving Bart a blowjob.
Rant over. Wake me up when Rio has the Olympics!

What a hideous livery, although I ROFL'D at your second to last sentence even though its probably not appropriate.

Perhaps, but I honestly can't think of anything better to describe it.
I doubt it would be in the opening ceremonies anyways.

XXX is 30 in Roman numerals; it's the 30th modern Olympiad
What's the big deal? It's just a plastic model

I Couldnt Agree More, although it is a pretty bad livery.

I think you just have a big passion for airplanes and you cannot see a historic masterpiece being associated with this livery, relax man, just a plastic thing, I was thinking about it few days ago, because the concorde barebone is still exposed at the charles de gaulles airport
