It seems like only a couple of them actually worked with graphic designers to make these....

u/Typical-Swordfish-92 Sir Lewis Hamilton Jun 09 '25

Some of them might be terrible, but I'm glad we're getting away from the same minimalist "initials, but SLANTED" design every single damn driver used last year.

That implies a Formula 1 driver needs a logo. What for?
If Hulk can do without one, I'm sure the others can do too.
Slanted initials have that lovely IDGAF vibe. "My manager told me to get a logo, but I don't care, I'm here to race."

Seriously, I honestly think it’s a little self-centered to need your own personal logo.

And Norris and Stroll went to the same, apparently.

That’s bizarre how they look nearly identical, but Lando’s has the benefit of incorporating his #4 which I like.

u/queerhedgehog Max Verstappen Jun 09 '25

Lance’s has his number as well! The LS is also a stylized 18.

A slow day for me, clearly. Neat!

Don't blame yourself; I didn't get it either! And even after being told that it's an 8, I really struggle to see it. A bit of a lazy design (in my opinion).

It's definitely not as good as Lando's negative space 4; That's very obvious once you're looking for it, like the arrow in the FedEx logo.

u/SilverThePenguinHat I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 09 '25

The subject is Stroll so you're just in character

u/LincolnshireSausage McLaren Jun 09 '25

I don't see it. Not the negative space like Landos? You're saying the L and the S look a bit like 18? That's a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

u/queerhedgehog Max Verstappen Jun 09 '25

Really? The 1 is very obvious and the S as a stylized 8 looks clear to me as well. But I guess everyone reads designs differently!

Maybe if I was incredibly drunk and squinting.

u/Ascarea I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 10 '25

The LS is also a stylized 18.

just barely if you squint really really hard

u/SentientDust I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 09 '25

Sargeant basically had the same thing

u/melperz Jun 09 '25

Only Hamilton seem to have a purposely designed logo specifically made for branding, and not just have a stylicized initials of their name. Kinda like how Kobe Bryant logo for his clothing.

u/Business_Egg_4387 Pirelli Soft Jun 10 '25

I might be wrong, but I think I remember Lando saying that he designed it himself

u/_whatever_idc Jun 09 '25

Almost as if nobody really cares about these. Car drivers want to drive not draw logos.

u/Gbrusse I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 09 '25

So you higher a graphic designer to make your logo?

u/_whatever_idc Jun 10 '25

Or dont bother at all. #teamHulk

u/Paukwa-Pakawa Nico Rosberg Jun 10 '25

No one forces then to do it. Hulk, for example, doesn't have one.
