The images were broadcast as part of a report on the launch of the 2012 Olympics logo. The complainants included the British Epilepsy Association. The complainants were all concerned that broadcast of part of the animated 2012 logo, as part of the news reports, was harmful because of its likelihood to cause epileptic seizures.
