Boring logo is boring[edit]

South Bay Riders club ride in California (2009)

So that BMF logo doesn't meet the threshold of originality and is thus hosted at Commons under Public Domain rather than at en.Wikipedia under Fair Use. But the lack of originality also means that the logo conveys just about zero information. We already knew their initials are B, M, and F, but the red color means nothing that I can see. Nothing else to see there.

Definitely the outline looks (ever so slightly) better with the logo than without, since it breaks up the gray wall of text. So we might as well keep it. But if at all possible we'd be better off with an image that told the reader something they didn't know, rather than just filling in empty space and adding an arbitrary splash of color. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, images of people doing things are intrinsically more interesting than static logos. The subsection immediately below concerns clubs, maybe something suitable can be found for that? Sample image added to this discussion, inspired by de.wikipedia article Motorradclub. - Brianhe (talk) 00:03, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
