Just had an 'exciting' email from the ACO peacocking about how "the 24 hours of Le Mans are reinventing themselves to affirm what makes them unique; a complete, cultural and universal event".

Gonna be big this, isn't it!

Or maybe they've just changed from writing "LE MANS" in all caps to writing it in a 'handwrighting' font...

Wonder how many tens of hundreads of thousand Euro that cost them!

It looks very much like they got my doctor to write 'LeMans' in his best handwriting.

Glad to see they used 'Capgemini, a global creative consulting agency' nothing like keeping it real.

I do wonder how much this will have cost for what amounts to a change of font with nothing really clever about it standing out. In fact it is barely legible.

The ‘24’ and LE MANS in that blocky font is instantly recognizable. Something sustained and used for many years.

Funny how creative types can sell a change of font as bold new horizons.

Yea, took me a bit of quinting to work out it said "Le Mans" as it looks too long (because it's written "le_____mans").
