I mean, I didn't put much thought into it, that's just the first thing that comes to mind. But yeah ... I know they want to keep it as simple as possible, and Citi probably has a lot in terms of say for the logo as well. They probably demanded that the "citi" logo be prominent ... so when you're dealing with a bank who's paying you, your hands get kind of tied on creativity, I guess.

If anything I would have done something that incorporated the arched windows and/or pillars, but considering all the different applications this logo is going to have, I think what they came up with is fine.

There are lots of possibilities that can look very classy. The first thing that comes to mind is a nice line art silhouette of the stadium, incorporated with the citi logo on the top.

Trust me, there is a lot more you can do than just plopping Citi's logo onto a blue square and calling it a "logo". I understand it's a bank and they want it to look minimal ... but this just looks lazy. I’m a graphic designer.

You can see the logo itself on the lower right hand side of the page - it's the one with the "Citi" in the blue diamond and the orange extension coming out of it that says "Field."

Of course it was going to be based on Citibank's logo. Not much you can do with that. I have no idea why anyone was expecting anything different.

I can't believe that's the best they can come up with. I can do better than that in my sleep. Man … you guys are right. I can’t believe that’s the best they can come up with.
