Having a little shuffle of the deck-chairs then rolleyes

As said above - nothing wrong with the current one and it’s far better than these offerings.

...sky however could do with updating their F1 title music... just a thought.

Personally I think that the current logo is an excellent design. It is simple but clever how the F & 1 are combined. Why change one of the few thing in F1 that actually works?

I quite like the current one and is recognised within the design community as an example of good brand ID.

But it has been around for a long while now and could perhaps do with a re-fresh.

Too clever!

Along with millions of others I'd never noticed the 1 was the white bit in the middle. (....and now I can't stop seeing it hehe)

Have you spotted the arrow in the Fed Ex logo or the bear in the Toblerone logo?

Haha try telling most companies, councils, governments this.

But agree with your statement. And seems madness to change something thats nothing is wrong with it. Spend millions needing to design, change merchandise etc...

I didn't see the 1 in F1 for a long time.. it is too clever.

The Amazon A to Z arrow is a good one.

It might be the extent of their powers until they have a new Concorde agreement.

It surprises me how few people see the FedEx arrow. I don't know who designed it but they must have been well self satisfied when they came up with it, and how irritated they must have been to have to explain it.

More 'clever' ones here: http://www.toxel.com/design/2010/06/09/24-cool-log...

The ED one only works on the continent, so did they know we'd be leaving? The Amazon logo is poor; A to Z is nowhere else in their advertising so the logo is obscure to say the least.

I quite like the F1 logo. It is not too subtle nor contrived so why change? Probably Liberty want a clean break from the past. The new one has a lot to live up to. Or, to put it another way, will not be as good. It will be too clever, too obscure, too plain; too something anyway.

the current logo is ok but has been around a while and is a little tired and dated but I don't think any of the three proposed ones are an improvement.

Maybe it would be worth seeing if Goatse could redesign something,as he did for the London Olympics?
