Belmont Stakes Logo
 
Sorry if this has already been posted but I couldn't find it.

I think it's the first logo I've seen that I actually like:

That's pretty shi tty

I think it's an awesome logo...

MaTH716 02-06-2009 01:09 PM

I think it's pretty sharp. I like the NYC skyline, but then again I'm a bit biased.

Throwback style Belmont logo. Clean and simple... I always like when they use the Belmont tree image.

Antitrust32 02-06-2009 01:18 PM

I would really like to see a tree that size in NYC. That would be cool.

parsixfarms 02-06-2009 01:29 PM

It's cool.

I like the tree, but wish they had included a horse in the logo. A couple of the buildings on the skyline look too much like hypodermic needles to me.

This one was nice, and lends itself well to print, screenprinting or embroidery.

I like the tree over the city, but what happened to making the colors of the Belmont/Travers logo the colors of the previous year's winner? I thought that was a cool idea, but apparently it's only when NYRA likes your silks colors?

I agree completely. The tree is three times the freaking size of what apparently is supposed to be the Empire State Building, the skyline looks nothing like the skyline, the colors are atrocious, and the font is nothing similar to what one would associate Belmont Park with. It looks like a third grader drew a picture of a third grader throwing up on a bad cartoon of NY. Sorry.

Belmont logo
 
The race is run in 1st week of June, late spring by the calender. the tree looks winter barren, the colors reflect nothing of this time of year, and a piss-poor silouette of the city. Who could possibly give the final ok on this choice.
Un believeable.. and one more thing the logo makes NYC looks like it's on a hilltop, looking up at the city ,laughable

this is another of the artist's creations:


At least if this guy had been local it may have been understandable, but the artist is from Atlanta. After looking at his work, it seems that he just assembles clipart and internet images.

:eek:

It's just a logo.

From Atlanta???? you have got to be kidding. 10 million New yorkers, and they could.nt find a commercial artist with taste.

I'm from NY and I like it. You ever hear the phrase "less is more". It's a very clean, sharp logo. The NY skyline and the tree that represents Belmont. What else would you want?
