Super Bowl LiV

The recent Super Bowls have had awful logos, but someone finally noticed and fixed it for next year. Or maybe they got a new designer – one who cared about readability and meaning.
In case you’re not familiar with how they name Super Bowls, they use Roman numerals. Not sure why, but it’s their thing.
So Super Bowl 54 is really Super Bowl LIV. And here’s the logo:
See how it has the L and the I and the V?
But that’s wrong – that’s actually the logo for Super Bowl LV.
You see, they like to put the image of the Lombardi trophy in the Super Bowl logo also, and it is mostly shaped like an “I”.
It would make sense for me if they did that on purpose, but they’re putting a thing that looks like an “I” where an “I” should be for Roman numerals, but they don’t want it to actually be an “I”.
That’s not how logos are supposed to work.
And here’s Super Bowl LIV, in case you’re wondering:
To me, that looks like Super Bowl LIIV. And that’s even worse because it’s not valid Roman numerals.
But, fret no more – they fixed it for Super Bowl LVI. Someone finally realized they shouldn’t have the numbers be the same size and color as the trophy if they didn’t want the trophy to actually be a number.
Different colors, overlapping instead of in line – no confusion. Much better. Give that new designer a raise.
In case you’re wondering, it’s been bad for the last few years. Super Bowl 50 and before were fine, but they used this bad style of logo for 51-55. I should have written about this before; I would have had an annual item going.
Side note: I am disappointed that Super Bowl LV was not held in Las Vegas.
Another side note: maybe it’s just the fact that they both prefer goatees and berets, but Bruce Arians and Jamie Hyneman remind me of each other.
‘Cursed is one who misleads a person who is blind on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
