The new "official" logo.


What you see above is the new "official" logo for The Owner's Box, my six-month-old podcast (which is available on almost all major podcasting platforms as well as on links on this blog). I asked seven trusted individuals to choose from among five different font treatments for the second line, and five of them chose the typewriter font as their preference.

I kind of like that, because it does reference my former career as a sportswriter -- and yes, I did start in the era of typewriters. The four other fonts didn't suck -- one of them was the same font used on those signs in the Notre Dame stadium's runway that say, "Play like a champion today." -- but there's a synergy between the font of the first line (which resembles the numbers on traditional uniforms) and the reference to a 50-year reporting career represented in the second line.

Be sure to check out my current podcast with former Holy Cross basketball star Lauren Manis. Links can be found to the left of this post on the web version of this page.
