Seems they have a new logo

The new visual identity is the result of a comprehensive year-long brand positioning and strategic communications analysis commissioned by the Series and conducted by Haymarket Worldwide. The study affirmed that the seven-year-old American Le Mans Series has become one of the fastest growing race series in North America as well as worldwide and is perceived by all constituents as the "premium brand" of motorsports.

The Haymarket Worldwide analysis extended to the many and varied ‘publics' involved in the Series, including automobile and tire manufacturers, team owners, business and broadcast executives, corporate partners and fans. In the end, the Haymarket project concluded in both quantitative and qualitative terms that the Series was unique among the many top-level motorsports series because it reflects certain important attributes not commonly found in motorsports properties. Words such as premium, luxury, authentic, sophisticated, high tech/leading edge, endurance, prestigious, romantic, style, élan and exotic were all frequently used to describe the American Le Mans Series.

I suppose it couldn't hurt.

Now if the P1 cars were only the coupes represented in the new logo.

Somebody had to say it first! :p

A complete letdown. Hyping January 1st for a new logo just won`t cut it. :shakehead

I'd like to think that the logo change is just the first step in a larger marketing plan. I'd also like to think I'm going to find a suitcase full of small, unmarked bills later today.

This further solidifies my belief that sports marketers are, for the most part, clueless and useless.

Yeah. I don't like the outline of the car on there, it just looks forced. And this is new? What, were they afraid of "alienating" fans who identified with the old logo?? :) tff...

And the blue pill isn't going to translate well on a lot of media.
