Right. I failed miserably at getting a uni with one of those on it.

The tragedy of USRowing.
But with a little imagination...
Alright I legitimately laughed out loud at the bow tie doctored image, well done.

The image is kinda (maybe?) pretty…but it doesn’t convey rowing at all, and it uses America’s colors and *orange* which has nothing to do with the US.

So for me it’s a fail in that sense.

Factor in that this likely cost money which USRowing is allegedly is hard to come by and I think it’s a much more significant fail.

If you’re going to spend money when money’s tight you better get a bang for your buck.

Well the key would be finding imagery that opens up wallets.

Maybe in this crazy image-driven society this logo will.

That might be a stretch.

But we can always hope it inspires some to loosen up.

The new logo reminds me of something, and I can't put my finger on it...
A chalice? That would be pretty clever symbolically...

Rebrand... Rebrand... I'm reminded of a great scene from Breaking Away.
