Metropol

I will go and check on that. With the Olympics the candidature logo can't be used for the actual games. Hopefully it's different for the Commonwealth Games because I quite like that one and don't think it's 90s at all.

EDIT
It seems that the same logo can be used for the games themselves.
My point of reference was the following facinating site which I have to admit to spending many happy hours looking at!

OK London wins the Games and gets bombed....Glasgow gets bombed and THEN wins the Games..... I'm confused...

Yay for Glasgow.

I will now take this opportunity to brag that I was one of the schoolkids who sang and danced in the opening ceremony of the 13th Commonwealth Games held in Edinburgh in 1986.

Observe these youtube delights (including a young Cheryl Baker doing a report for the BBC's Saturday Picture Show on the rehearsals), and then marvel at our fabulous numbers performed live to 600 million viewers. Oh yes.

I'd like people to watch these (all of them, mind) and say nice things about them and me.

Meadowbank Stadium hasn't been cleaned since 1986. True story.

So I assume we've quickly reverted back to the temporary skin as it became impossible to submit a post when the other one was re-instated earlier on

well to be honest the olympics skin shouldn't have reappeared, but then it did, and it got jammed, and I had to spend 10 minutes trying to turn the damn thing back off.

Any idea as to what the new look would be?

Oh my god! This is dreadful. Nice to see there is still a hint of pink though.

Must be your dodgy cheap lappy Lorna! There is only a smidgen of pink left (and that's in the "olympic" metropol logo)

The site is predominantly blue!

The signature bits are pink.A little pink is good. The Metrologo is about the only familier bit of the forum left oh and those ghastly smilies.
