....and, make her more a bit more feminine looking.

I voted for Preakness though. Kinda cool retro thing going on...right up my alley!

The Belmont logo does look at least a little low rent...
Just basic and simply...enough of the "artsy" stuff

...after all, it's just a "prep" for the Breeder's Cup Marathon race!

LOLOL, that is hilarious. A youtube moment of instant stardom lost.

I'll pass on something representative of Yum! Brands though. Glad there's not a drumstick on the KD logo.

They're okay but not great. I enjoy the idea of the Belmont logo but it looks like they hired a high school student to doodle it during homeroom. Preakness is a throwback which is interesting. The Derby logo is nice but not eye popping.

I can see that racing is emphasizing diversity. All three logos suck in different ways.
