2009 MTBO America Logo
Our new 2009 MTBO America logo was approved by the Board of Directors over the weekend! This branding initiative represents our overall strategy that includes bring mountain bike orienteering to all 50 states in the Union.
The field of 50 stars complimented by the 13 red and white stripes takes after the flag of the United States of America. The mountain bike 44/32/22 crankset outline combined with the compass rose pointing North represent our sport. The compass rose maintains the respected position of being on top of the crankset to establish that “orienteering” as a sport is the organization from which mountain bike orienteering was conceived.
The entire field is placed within a black shield. The black represents our rebellious nature to be the “black sheep” of the orienteering family in America, and the shield stands for our willingness and readiness to fight for the inclusion and establishment of mountain bike orienteering in the United States.
The logo was designed by Leafbreeze Productions in Burke, Virginia. Enjoy!
