TM Canyon Logo
Only one thing that I was a little disappointed in was the Canyon 'logo'. I love the font, color, style etc and I think it suits the game perfectly, but as you can see in the image below the N's are exactly the same, and generally speaking the graphic designer will make some font modification to remove this exact match, as it gives the impression its one of the free fonts from dafont.com.

The 2 letters "N" look the same ?! 
It's really strange.

I'm saying because they are exactly the same it's not as professional, compared to if they were slightly different.

All right--cut the boys at Nadeo some slack, guys. What would you rather have them be doing? Creating a custom font for their site logo, or creating custom skins for the cars you'll soon be racing, hmm?

We need to stop worrying about stupid things like graphics and skins. It's a waste of time! We should instead focus only on the font. BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT DAMMIT...

Re: TM Canyon Logo
actually it's all a matter of what the font is used for.
The fact it's a standard font rather than a designed logo adds loads of possibilities.
Web application wise for example. Instead of having to use images you can easily embed the logo using sifr or other stuff. This way you can easily change the background image with a transition while the text stays in tact.
It's also scalable without loss of quality, so you can actually create the same layout/proportions on all screen formats.
However, of course the initial font designer could've used uppercase N for a slightly different dirty effect as the entire "canyon" is written in the same case

Re: TM Canyon Logo
At the moment, there is one logo and one environment title image. The title image is undisclosed yet, but it is closer to the "puzzle shots" and the logo is for the communication purpose. You, in the community, should care more about the title image. It is designed to go well with the future titles and also to reflect the environment itself.
