New LPGA Logo in Numbers

[iacas]

The LPGA has a new logo:



The club looked a little funny, so I took some measurements. I sized the EPS file at 2000 x 2783 and used Photoshop's ruler/measuring tool to take the following measurements:

Length of Club: 1748
Height of Golfer: 2306

If the golfer in the image is 5'5" (65 inches), that's a ratio of 35.48 pixels per inch. The golf club seen here - clearly an iron of some sort - would measure 49.27 inches!

In measuring the height of the golfer, I measured on a diagonal from where the foot would be to the top of the head. This creates the "largest" possible golfer possible, thus minimizing the length of the club as much as possible.

The maximum length of a golf club (that isn't a putter) is 48 inches! The LPGA Logo Woman is a cheater!!!

If the golfer is only 5 feet tall, the club still measures 45.5" in length. That's one heck of an iron!

LMAO. That's a funny post.

That club looks too long for the icon.

I think they should've used iacas's avatar as their new logo.

Are we definitely supposed to assume that its an iron? I mean, it could just be a really ugly wood/driver...

Seconded. I don't really like the new logo. It unpleasantly reminds me of a rainbow.

The best explanation I can think of is that the Pinnacle and the LPGA are going to have a Ladies' Long Drive competition, only to emphasize skill instead of MOI, they're going to allow extra-long shafted one irons instead of extra-long shafted drivers.

(For the record, my response is meant as humor, and I don't believe they're actually going to do that)

When I first saw it on TV, my first thought was that looks like Michelle Wie with her contorted full finish follow through.
