Can one of you give me an example of a situation where the logo would be used where there wouldn't be enough context to figure out it's obviously an F and a 1? Also using a straight line to represent a 1 isn't confusing anyway unless you are an actual idiot

no because literally every single complaint leveled at Liberty, including the logo, is part of a dumb lazy meme that should be bannable

Counterpoint: It's a poo poo logo. Just go to Twitter or Facebook and check out how it looks like a blurry red blotch at the small size next to their posts. The number 1 rule of logo design is make it distinct at any size.

It looks fine. It's a pretty distinctive shape.

Also maybe F1 under Bernie could have used extra salespeople but don't get silly, F1's branding was fine. He clearly employed designers, F1 has a pretty good website, it's not like Bernie was uploading updates with Dreamweaver. The TV graphics are also among the best in sports broadcasting.

Crazy, wonder what he could've done with a marketing department.

At the end of the day, though, the problem y'all are going to have is that you've so childishly whined about every sensible change that Liberty has made that it's impossible to take you seriously ever again.

The logo was rear end and designed by some Portland hipster who has never seen any sort of race ever who admitted the previous one was timeless and this one will look dated two years from now. Lol if you think the new logo is good.

I don’t think anyone is talking about an Alfa Romeo team. Ferrari wants both Leclerc and Giovinazzi to have race seats for next year, but Haas won’t take either of them and Sauber wants to keep Ericsson’s money. I believe the idea currently is to replace Ericsson’s money with Alfa Romeo sponsorship and brand Sauber’s engines. It’s just a way for Ferrari to justify giving Sauber extra money without putting the Ferrari logo on their cars.

Pretty much exactly like that. I don't understand how anybody with even a passing interest in cars, let alone somebody who runs an F1 team, can pronounce it that way.
