attn NASCAR: your (over)use of gradient sucks

December 11, 2007 · Leave a Comment

How to cheapen a sport: use gradients and two-color value changes disgustingly to no end. It is not cutting-edge, it is awful. Hire some new direction in marketing and make your sport look good.. not cheap and even more annoying than it is now..

Can’t they create a brand identity that uses a one- or two- or even three-color design that actually looks decent? Instead of this black-on-whatever stuff that they’ve been doing?

Examples:

Sports leagues love using gradients to make their sport look cool. Some leagues look good but others really really do not, and the most overuse of the gradient would probably be NASCAR. Maybe your sport will look decent if they actually used white as their main color.

If you really want to hurt your eyes, and possibly freeze up your computer, check out their website.

Come back to Champ Car! (yeah, I know, he won’t come back from the swirling black hole that is NA$CAR)

Well, as everyone knows by now (I’m breaking the story pretty late here), Helio Castroneves broke up with his fiancee for his 19-year old Dancing With the Stars partner.

Rhetorical question of the day: does he cheat on his fiance as bad as he cheats on the track with Penske?
