'08 BC LOGO: They went all out!
 

Yeesh...

a bit better than the derby '08--but that isn't saying a whole helluva lot!

Maybe the budget went toward numbered saddle towels of color or, be still my heart, an announcement is made soon that the "Trakus" will be turned on for the BC. If they yield enough to let the fans actually follow the races with Trakus they can have the nerdy purple wash cloths with the white numerals....

Yeah... sleep would be a good idea when I start ranting like this 33 hours awake is quite enough.....nighty night folks!!:D

Does the back of the logo say....
"" Its not turf to dirt anymore "" :D

It is a bit simple.. and for that reason I like it. It's better than trying to do too much with it.

I actually think its sharp. Simple and basic, which is always better in my opinion for a logo.

bo-ring

its o.k. they need to solve the saddle cloth and other issues the players brought up.

The one thing in life that I am qualified to speak too:


It's fair to midland but will reproduce well!

its got the silver in it..isnt 25 the silver level..

I agree that it is very simple and classy. I like it...

I've never liked the horse insignia. It's fruity.

It does appear that 2008 is a little off center

Is 25 symbolizing how many BC races there are now?

Well, maybe for the Thursday and Friday before the actual Breeders' Cup...

The more I look at it, the more I like.

Your eye should travel in a circle, and it does here. Breeders' Cup, up and around the horses head (I like the horse... much better than some of the awful TC logos) to the 25 at the bottom.

At first i thought the 25 was too big but it does have the proper weight to it.

The question of the 2008 being off centered is a good point and while i agree it should be moved over slightly, I don't actually think it's off at all.

It's an illusion..... I think it's because of the white space between the words World and Championship on top and the heaviness of the 8 that anchors the bottom inside the circle, AND the open side of the 2 gives that side and even lighter feel so that the whole thing looks outta whack when it's really not.

Another problem (shut up, i am NOT overly-critical) is the color of the 2008... I'd change it around, have that on top, World Championship at the bottom, and the same color. Again, a weight issue. Balance, damnit... it's all about composition, movement, and balance.

At least the circle is aesthetically pleasing and the horse has movement.

Okay why don't i just go run along now and leave the nice thread alone..... :D

It is classic and simple. I like it!

It is much better than some of the ones of the past. The focus should be the horse racing and not the location of the event.

I like it. I hate when they try to make things to gaudy or flashy. Simple is really more classy anyday.

shouldn't the logo be green?
