I’ve described design as painfully bad before, but I think this actually is.

London 2012 Olympics branding film causes epileptic seizures | 456 Berea Street

Recently a movie clip that was published on the official London 2012 Olympic Games website (Warning! Contains colour combinations that are painful to look at. Yes, really.) contained an animation that caused seizures in at least thirty people. And those are just the people who contacted the charity Epilepsy Action about it.

I knew about the seizure inducing effects of pulsing or strobing lights, but I thought TV networks were careful about what they aired. Apparently not, because the TV version of this online video induced seizures as well.
