Whats your favorite logo

Los Angeles Country Club's logo is simple and perfect.

Concur.  And on the course it also uses the cool dual flags Friar's Head has latched on to.... doesn't it?

Nope, it's a single flag, but it is "pennant" style, like the dual Friar's Head logo...

Tlavin - aha!  Many thanks.  At least I got the shape correct.  That struck me as pretty neat, unique.

I labeled the six above for those that don't know them, too




Which is it?

(I always found the style of this script (font) really creepy)

Guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder - I like both Shinnecock's & Pasatiempo's logos.

Saucon Valley's is okay - not great, not terrible, IMHO. I give it a thumb sideways, maybe slightly up.

[Bill Gayne]

Is the Pasatiempo figure a banana slug? Which if it is makes it kind of cool. Having just driven 95 through the Carolinas it kind of reminds me of Pedro on the South of the Border billboards.

The really goofy ones are the new American clubs that have a crest that look like it came from some UK club that is a hundred years old. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I really don't care for crests even at old clubs.

Enniscrone, Turnberry, Carnasty and Carne have terrible logos!  The Island's and St. Andrews aren't very good either.  The Shinnecock logo is ok, but Dave is right about Pasatiempo.  

I don't care for Merion's.  I am sure this will wind some of you boys up.  The grass stuff in the background is silly.

Ciao

PasaT is a guy in a Serape and a Sombrero under a Palm Tree of which there are many at Pasa.

There are many Palm Trees closer to the beach ...

UC at Santa Cruz are the Banana Slugs. It looks kind of like a slug.

Royal Dornoch - A Tiger? with and upturned horseshoe (Isn't this a sign of bad luck)

Sean

It's a Highland wild cat, and the horseshoe represents a medieval battle between the raping and pillaging Norsemen which turned when one of the locals ripped a shoe off of his horse and slew the Chief Pillager with it.

Rich,

Thanks for the info.  Great legend.

What's the story behind the monk from Tain?

Also I agree with the description of enniscrone's logo.  For such a good course a poor logo.

My guess is the Tain logo is St. Duthus, the local holy guy, but I could be wrong.....

I'm fond of the Sutton Bay logo -- except, well, I don't know, maybe it's a little too ... one-dimensional to be considered one of the classics. Granted, the horns provide some interesting multi-directionality -- but the rest of it might be a little too much up-and-down, don't you think?

Looks alot like the Tobacco Road logo

More than one of the Strantz courses incorporate the skull.


Bull's Bay


Just for Dave: The Pasatiempo logo seems to fit with the name of the club. Isn't this word spanish for "passing the time." I could be wrong.
