Will is off to tell the Americans that when you race on an oval (pause for ad break) you drive in an oval.

2025 driver logos are out. Some spent far too much effort, Hulk got some guy off fivr to do it, and Yuki is eyeing up Poland.

I only follow F1 through this thread - drivers have logos now? When are these used?

It reminds me of the way every clip online ends with the featured driver folding his arms and scowling at the camera. It's very homosexual and just makes me hate everyone involved. I don't remember Schumacher or Hill doing things like this, and Villeneuve couldn't pull off a "badass armfold" if he'd tried.

NIPPON SAMA WILL RICE AGAIN. SO WILL GERMANY KUN AND ITARRI CHAN. :story: How the fuck did that make it past creative direction? Unless... there's none. Ah, shit, fell for it.

My personal comments:
  • Max, LolClerc are just so bad. Now, most of these are really bad, but these two stand out immediately These look like work you would see from freshman art students making their first logo. Even that's being generous because a lot of students make really great stuff.
  • Lawson's logo is a worse version of Lando's, which isn't even that good to begin with. Stroll's is also too similar, but no one cares about him so it doesn't matter.
  • Ham's logo actually looks like it might go on a car, but doesn't communicate his name in anyway. Lando's, at the very least, signals his initials.
  • Kimi's need a bit of work. Maybe change the font or get a caligrapher with a marker and scan + clean it.
  • Pastry's initials are perfect for this as OP can also mean overpowered, but please, rework it.
  • Alonso's just need a bit of refinement, but they're onto something here.
  • Nico Hulkeberg looks like MS Word Art. Play around with the Nico placement and size, and they might have something.
  • Bearman just needs a redo of that vector art, but the concept works for obvious reasons.
  • Doohan's reminds me of Mizuno.
  • Bortoleto, Ocon = WTF
  • Gasly's is too generic and looks like "VG." What does that mean? Vagina? It is pink.
  • Everything else, unremarkable slop.

Even dudes running sprint cars and local late models have logos now and they're always absolutely uninspired logotypes made from their initials. Awful trend.
 
I think it's nice for them to have some creative personal signature, it's part of the sport (and it helps for the branding® aspect). But then, they most probably let them do it however they want and it shows they're drivers rather than designers. Idk Alonso, Bearman, Antonelli and Yuki look alright to me, plus Lando's, which has the 4 in the negative space.

I'm afraid to ask what's the meaning behind Hamilton's logo... and what tf is going on with Ocon's logo? Darn.

Hamilton's supposed to be a panther or something like that

It does seem like an area where they could at least stand out by having something that deviates from the masses. Then again, sponsors prefer safety over originality so conformity is the name of the game.
 
The logos have been around for a while, just try shopping for any team merch and you'll have driver numbers and logos plastered on it. At least George's tries to incorporate his driver number, doesn't look too bad on my Merc hat.

Wait til you see the new morality rules

They have just inserted "misconduct" and defined it as

The penalties are also set...

That's right, say a no no word 3 times in a season and you're getting a one mont suspension and losing championship points.

Oh and we now have "causing moral injury" as an offence too

We could get a championship decided by the FIA clutching pearls.

The rule and wording was pushed through in a online meeting where it was put to the floor and voted on right away. The drivers association and FOM were not consulted, plus a whole bunch of delegates weren't at the meeting due to clashes or invites not turning up...

We're in full middle eastern theocratic dictatorship complete with morality rules now.

In the old days shit like this would cause an instant splinter series that would bring the FIA to heel in weeks.

They don't have the balls now, I bet.
 
I want to see an '08 Indy-style boycott. If Toto Wolff can get Michael Masi fired by threatening to pull Mercedes out of F1, they can definitely get the inbred brown man out of there.
