new tour logo?

I like it, your thoughts?

I don't think it's the new logo. I think it's just a temporary tribute to Arnie.

That is the 1st thing that came to my mind as well.

I saw it retweeted by The European Tour saying it should be the new logo. Here's a cleaned up version from reddit:

My fault for not being clear. Should it be the new logo? I like the tribute, but lets wait a bit before making a  permanent change.

Yeah, I really admire Arnie. That being said, I think the current one we have now is better.

Meh. The silhouette doesn't balance out the negative space as well as the current logo.

Interesting, apparently the current logo isn't actually modeled after anyone --- there is no 'Jerry West' for the PGA Tour.

Jerry West is the logo for the NBA, not the PGA Tour.  Some people have said the logo is that of Ben Hogan, but it has been confirmed that the silhouette represents no one in particular...

I think he knew that… He was saying that there's no specific model for the PGA Tour like Jerry West is for the NBA.

"While working?"

I know of a good solution to that…

Retirement?

And I kind of like the "tribute" logo, I wouldn't mind seeing it adopted, at least for a season.  Arnold came at the right time, basically at the beginning of golf on TV,  to help popularize golf.  To my mind, he had more to do with golf's popularity than anyone ever had, until Tiger.  It would seem appropriate for the tour to honor him.

Love it

I remember when the LPGA decided to upgrade their logo. Plenty of people immediately assumed "Michelle Wie"......

[newtogolf]

I think the new logo is good for golf, it's a great way to recognize those that have contributed greatly to where it is.

While others before Arnold Palmer made great contributions, he's a great person to start the tradition.  

The question is once it's about an individual, does it evolve over time to honor other individuals that have equally contributed and passed on as well?
