Is the A in the Jalopnik logo supposed to be a road extending into the distance?

Because I want to believe that it’s a road extending into the distance.

I’ve always thought so.

Nope, the A is pants. Mike Spinelli loved his JNCOs.

We wanted it to be a road heading off endlessly into an unknown but exciting future until Infiniti hit us with a lawsuit.

It’s supposed to be not a stupid orange color. Bring back chrome

No... the A is the road to Project Car Hell... I wish they would bring back PCH.

Isn’t that David Tracy’s life?

Unofficially, yes.

I hope that was intentional, but maybe it was a happy accident?

A black version with yellow accents would really make it stand out better.

I like the chrome idea, but a better execution of it would be nice. Maybe a cursive font with a more convincing chrome effect?

Wow, I totally forgot about Spinelli’s roller blading days.

They were actually shorts, tho.

We need a Jalopnik Logo history post, there were some interesting colors (remember the rust one?)

I’m too lazy to wayback machine this

Bob Ross says that every mistake is just a happy accident. Everyone should be more like Bob Ross.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why Infiniti had to create a unique logo when there is already an infinity symbol? It’s always bugged me

The lane markings looked weird at first, so I slimmed them a little. I like how it turned out.
