Belmont Stakes Logo

[Rudeboyelvis]

[quote=Echo Farm]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.





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.

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

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?

Perhaps a horse? Without a horse it could be a logo for "Belmont Tree of Life Vitamins"

"Hidden Oaks", a new subdivision being built just outside the city. "Relaxed rural living, city amenities at your fingertips"

I prefer it when the image on a horse racing poster instantly makes anybody looking at it (not just long-time fans) realize it's about horse racing.

I'm afraid that most non New York horse players would not know the significance of this logo's symbolism.

At first glance I thought it was a giant moose in search of some big apples.

Hey it is a one year logo..............it hardly matters.

Yeah your right no one knows that the Belmont Stakes is a horse race. They really need a horse in it. Look at this one I found for a bowling alley in Detroit with extra large lanes opening on Feb. 5th.

6 years of Belmont logos.



Quite a variety

well, we all are giving our opinions, i think the 2007 log is more to the season
and has a jockey-horse to represent the race, along with the right colors.

I agree re: less is more, though I think he has a point about the dreary colors. A brighter tone to reflect when the race is run would be nice. Maybe they're just trying to make everyone forget how freaking hot it was last year.

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.

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