College Football Playoff Logo chosen
They have closed the voting on the College Football Playoff logo design, and the one they are calling the "Golden Football" won. Sorry, no spiked footballs. Source link
Sorry if already posted, I did do a search and didn't see this on here, most recent post I could find was the one encouraging voting on it from a couple days ago.
So what's the verdict? Are we happy with the logo? Or is it just as bland as the name for the playoff itself?
Ostensibly clip art. Who is getting paid to "name" and "design" this shit?
Meh is what I think of it.
This name and logo thing has been blown way out of proportion.
WOOOOOO!
that's why I said "they're calling it the Golden Football" when obviously we all will call it that, and we will mercilessly mock them for picking one of the vagina looking logos, at least until we get distracted by someth--
-SQUIRREL!
Seriously, the complete lack of any well thought out design for the name or logos is just sad.
Sorry for this simple-minded, knee-jerk reaction. Now that I have had time to think about this, I really truely believe we are getting trolled right now. Like college football is making a joke of us all and laughing behind closed doors. They know it looks like a Vagina. They know people voted for it because it looks like a Vagina. And they don't care if it is bland, if it is crude, they don't even care if #CoFoPoff starts trending on the twitter.
The big wigs in College Football never wanted a playoff. They only did it to satisfy the masses, and now are making a joke of us, and hope that the overall blandness and borefest they have created with the logo & name cause people to be disinterested in the CoFoPoff, so they can go back to the old-timey bowl system.
am not given to conspiracy theories, but that one actually is plausible. Pretty evil plot if that is the case. They replace the hated BCS with something so stupid that people will be clamoring for a return to the BCS.
You really think the name and logo of the playoff are what draw people in?
Is one of these don't look like the others.
I don't see how this can inspire strong feelings either way.
Oh, if only I had felt this way about the coveted golden vagina back in high school and college. I could have devoted those countless hours spent chasing the "logo" to solving world hunger instead. I mean, I probably could have come up with the cure for cancer in that amount of time!
They need to C*** Punt this logo.
Wow, I never thought I coluld actually use that.
but I just don't get the vagina in this logo. I keep trying, but I just can't see it.
So that's what that looks like. Neat.
anus
This thread just got NSFWH.
Some marketing/branding/PR firm that's getting a big box of money for doing so.
To me it looks like a couple of parentheses enclosing some nonsensical bit of punctuation.
(=)
maybe we can just call it this when we type it, like B1G stands for big ten, maybe (=) means college football playoff. example: i can't wait till michigan wins the (=)
You mean like this?
(≣)
Or like this ))<>((
So the fraudulent spiked football was thrown out b/c of voting irregularity, yet the one people encouraged to vote for b/c it looks like a vagina wins. Yeah, no problem with this whole process at all.
However, I did like this one the best out of my 3 other poor options. Paranthesis representing a football as well as a "bracket"-style. And four dashes in the middle representing the final four teams. Perfectly fine with this. However I'll be playing coy when my child one day asks me why it looks like "that".
...shitty name.
Excuse me, it is call "CoFoPoff."
I couldn't remember the sanctioned nickname for it and I didn't want to get it wrong (I was thinking it was CoFoPuff) and have a bad title.
I love lamp.
That is more appropriate for my current situation than I can say...
That's just dumb.
Having voted for the golden vagina, I can't help but feel like my input was valued by the College Football powers that be.
You know, I was going to quit watching CFB, but now that I've had a chance to vote on this logo, I feel like I'm a part of the team, as it were. I'm going to keep watching.
At least it doesn't look like a vag--- oh fuck all
what am i supposed to do with @cfbplayoff or #4ward? is that for tweeting?
gawd, make it stop. remember when this sport used to be controlled in backrooms by old dudes in mustard sports coats? was it that much worse? now its dudes in pinstripes making a BFD about every single little thing.
is that they are making a bunch of decisions with their hands wrapped around their damn wallets. Instead of including the fan's perspective they have marketing "experts" do all this shit, someone wants to get promoted so they come up with something they think is clever and it turns out to be garbage.
It must be some sort of directive to ensure we don't pound backwards.
he looked like a strung out homeless heroin junkie
Wasn't Dave Holmes the runner-up (If anyone still knows of or remembers Dave Holmes)? I feel like I still see him on TV now from time-to-time, more so than any of those other guys not named Carson Daly.
It looks like a crappy championship logo from an 8-bit Nintendo game.
all hail the mighty vagina logo
I could have sworn they were saving the cherished parenthesis logo for rugby.
Sad thing its better than the others
