Official description from Dr. Norris Camacho

A ship’s wheel, constantly navigating the tricky landscape of collegiate athletics as the football badge infuses itself within the American flag and by default the American Dream and very fabric of this nation. The four white lines in the banner represent the ceremonial four lines of coke sniffed off a hooker’s thigh by officials during Fiesta Bowl planning, and the year happens to represent the one January not affected by the decision between the announcement and the actual first playoff game. The shaded and light portions of the football represent the duality of Man. That whole Jungian thing.

The College Football Playoff website is letting fans vote on which terrible logo they want to see. The problem is that the logos were not combined or animated. I fixed the problem free of charge.
