Талисманами Летних Олимпийских игр 2012 года в Лондоне стали Венлок и Мандевилль (Wenlock and Mandeville) — два одноглазых существа, напоминающие инопланетян. Венлок получил своё имя в честь городка Мач Венлок (Much Wenlock), соревнования в котором в середине XIX века (Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games) вдохновили Пьера де Кубертена на возрождение Олимпиад в 1896 году. Мандевилль был назван по имени госпиталя Стоук Мандевилль (Stoke Mandeville Hospital), где в 1948 году были проведены первые игры для спортсменов-инвалидов (World Wheelchair and Amputee Games).
