Boring. My 9yo son would have thought of something FAR cooler. It looks like a graph on the economy. YUCK.

Wait until they announce that grandstand seats are $2000. That's about par for the direction they've gone in recent years.

it does not matter. who even looks ? whats more telling is two years at the same sight on poly crap. then the powers that be scratch their heads wondering why handle is down and so is interest in the event. of course they're going under, this is the generation of lost causes across the board, its even found its way into managing racing. add it to the car industry, AIG and all the banks that are failing.

It looks more like sharp ocean waves than mountains.

From what I remember of the Derby logo and what I saw of the London 2012 Olympics logo, this should win awards. To paraphrase The Princess Bride, at no point did I see it and go 'oh dear God what is that thing?' "Eh" is a perfectly fine reaction given what could've been. I don't like celebrating mediocrity normally but really, some days it feels like that's a step up.
