While Russia has just selected their mascots for the 2014 Winter Olympics, London has had their mascots in place for the 2012 Summer Olympics for quite a few months now. They seem to be a ripoff of the character Muno from the children's show "Yo Gabba Gabba".
Granted that the mascots are probably designed to appeal to children in order to sell merchandise, but it's almost as if they tried to come up with the most generic mascots possible so as not to offend anyone. It reminds me of the TV show "Community", where Greendale Community College designed their "human being" mascot as a faceless, colorless, genderless character.
