I guess the 126 lbs each Derby horse will carry includes a giant salad bowl on their head.

The Oaks logo seems to remind me of a promo for the Boris Spasky-Bobby Fischer chess match years ago.

It reminded me of something different:


The Derby logo is a mess of what appears to be an assemblage of clipart. The horse neck looks like a two lane highway. The reused rose in a horseshoe still looks like a swirling toilet bowl just after flushing. The chopped off 137 is bad, the date format is weird.
Otherwise, it's a nice logo.

Edit: I knew I had this somewhere:

Looks like last year with different coloration and a slight change in the arrangement.

Awful. My wife does better graphic work for the invites for our annual derby party and she is a biologist.
