Belmont 140 logo begins concept of honoring previous year's winner by incorporating colors of that stable/owner...

I like the idea of incorporating the previous years winners colors. Thats what Espositos on Plainfield Ave. used to do. They would paint the fence and the trim every year to match the colors of the Stakes winner. KP

I like things simple, nothing fancy.....the Belmont Stakes logo is that.

i like it but that race was good enough to have curlin in the logo too.

So true also because I wagered on him that day :(

I really like the Belmont Stakes logo but they could have done a better job of capturing Rags to Riches' trademark blaze rather than using a generic-looking dark chestnut with the Tabor silks.

The Preakness logo actually looks really good compared to previous years, and it got my vote.

....and, make her more a bit more feminine looking.

I voted for Preakness though. Kinda cool retro thing going on...right up my alley!

looks like they threw the belmont stakes logo together in 5 minutes!!! at least the derby and preakness logos look like there was some effort in it

The Belmont logo does look at least a little low rent...

Just basic and simply...enough of the "artsy" stuff

...after all, it's just a "prep" for the Breeder's Cup Marathon race! ;)

LOLOL, that is hilarious. A youtube moment of instant stardom lost.

I'll pass on something representative of Yum! Brands though. Glad there's not a drumstick on the KD logo.

They're okay but not great. I enjoy the idea of the Belmont logo but it looks like they hired a high school student to doodle it during homeroom. Preakness is a throwback which is interesting. The Derby logo is nice but not eye popping.

I can see that racing is emphasizing diversity. All three logos suck in different ways.
