The Preakness logo
 
Unfortunately I haven't a clue how to post the damned picture (could some nice person consider doing that please?) but ummmm. I like it.

The colors are a little shag-carpet-from-the-70's-esque for my taste but still... it's nice enough.

It flows, has movement... a nice line, a sense of balance. Simple.

Thumbs up.

Not so much shag carpet like, as it is representing the State flag colors.

Too bad they came up with such a nice logo for a race I hope the MD State Racing Commission doesn't grant a date for unless Magna/PennNat agrees to run more than 40 days next year. Scorched Earth, Baby!!!!!

Here's the Maryland State Flag.

Oh okay you two, I had no idea. Doh! :D

It makes more sense now and yeah, I like it just fine.

You?

I love the horse and rider part of the logo. I don't like the white background.

I worry about my little state over here in the Mid-Atlantic and it's horse racing. So much horse racing history here and I grew up on this stuff.

I miss the days of the Route 1 double headers, Laurel then Freestate.

OY!

i like it. being a maryland native, i immediately recognized the color scheme. the maryland flag (if memory serves) is made up from the crests of the lords calvert and baltimore crests. it's been a long time since i took a maryland history class!

It kind of makes me think of the East German equstrian team........
