For those who are into auto racing, the venerable Hickory Motor Speedway is turning 60 in 2011 and a contest was held to design a logo to celebrate the milestone. This was my submission. It didn't win, this one did but I thought it was still a strong contender.
Personally I like the winning design, it's simple, elegant...well...wait a sec...I've been professionally involved in auto racing and in media for six years and I could have almost sworn I've seen this before..
No sore loser here...the prize was only a season pass to a track I've only been to four times in the last five years..but I can't not think that this was 100% original like mine was.
Gotta love your local track. Back when I lived in Virginia, I loved VIR and Summit Point, but as far as our Home Track went, you couldn't get more backwoods than good ol' Bacon Holler. Yes, that was the actual name.
