July 18, 2010
With the recently proposed USFA logo being widely criticized on Fencing.net and in various other forums as “horrible” “terrible” ”amateurish” etc. etc. (see pic below)…
The USFA Proposed New Logo
I thought I’d share with you the logo I think would be a great change for the organization…(Featured above) The logo was designed by WM, a really talented designer, who put this together in about a day or so…
What do you think? (Below is how it would look on the uniforms)

U.S. Olympic Committee Announces 2010 U.S. Olympic Team Heading to Vancouver for 2010 Olympic Winter Games
Team USA features 216 athletes with 87 returning Olympians
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) today announced its team members for competition at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada. Team USA consists of 216 athletes, including 123 men and 93 women.
Highlighting the list are three Olympians heading to their fifth Winter Games. Luge athlete Mark Grimmette (Muskegon, Mich.) and Nordic combined skier Todd Lodwick (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) have been named to five consecutive U.S. Olympic Teams (1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010). Casey Puckett (Aspen, Colo.) competed in four straight Winter Games as an alpine skier (1992, 1994, 1998, 2002). He retired from the U.S. Alpine Ski Team in 2002 before returning to the slopes to try out ski cross, which makes its Olympic debut in Vancouver. Grimmette, Lodwick and Puckett join former bobsledder and current men’s bobsled head coach Brian Shimer as the only five-time U.S. Olympians to compete in a Winter Games in history.
“America’s finest athletes are ready to captivate our country once again in anticipation of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver,” said USOC Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun. “The 216 athletes we have officially entered into competition will provide inspiration for Americans young and old, and our athletes will do so with the pride and honor that is inherent in representing the United States of America.”
