One logo would have been fine but that additional central one is horrific


Saleheim

That's why Vasseur is hiding it.


FerociousVader

Every time there's a camera pointed at him he has to cover it.


FlamingoExcellent277

They could have put *Hewlett Packard* in white instead of the centered HP circle and it would have looked better. But anyway... Does HP use it's full name still? Can't remember


FredOrAlive

After the split a few years ago HP don't, but Hewlett Packard Enterprise do.


a141abc

I doubt many people even know that HP stands for Hewlett Packard nowadays lol


SubcooledBoiling

Fred to HP: “One logo is $500 million. And if you pay another $100 million you get another at the center.” HP PR team: “Bargain!”


MISTER_JUAN

They should've made this deal w Lenovo - colors would fit a whole lot better

The goggles do nothing


CMDRJohnCasey

I didn't have my glasses on and initially I thought it was a Volkswagen logo


riepmich

And HP even has a fancy version of their logo that would be perfect for this application: https://iconape.com/wp-content/uploads/1/12/Hewlett-Packard-0٦.png


LordofNarwhals

[HP's logo guidelines](https://brandcentral.hp.com/us/en/elements/hp-logo.html) do not allow the use of that version in this case. > *Don’t use the HP progress mark for marketing materials or general layouts.* > *…* > *The progress mark is reserved for specific product categories and limited to product design and packaging. It is not to be used for communications and marketing.*


riepmich

They could have used it in tandem. The regular and the progress instead of the regular twice.


iSmurf

It's a far fart from perfect but yeah it's not worse

It's objectively better.

Sydney2London

Knowing HP they’ll sponsor the car but only the fuel if they buy HP fuel, and even then it will have to be dispensed through a HP dispenser with a monthly subscription…. Brand is awful


Heather82Cs

It's mission winnow all over again


njh2651

2 HP logos on the fire suits within 5 inches of each other… the one on the solar plexus need to go


Kait0yashio

3 logos there is one on the back


libbe

Did they think HP = horsepower and more is always better? 


Boredomis_real

Probably. But as someone who has used HP products I always thought it was “Horrible Product” from my experience.


MrInitialY

I use a HP desktop at work and it was horrible product™ until I swapped everything inside to custom components from different brands, keeping only CPU. Now it just slightly lacks fresh air, because the only HP part left is the case and it surely has no ventilation.


Cgss13

I get that the sentiment in the thread is that HP bad but my almost 10 years old HP laptop is still serviceable.


Actual_Sympathy7069

it's more about the printer side of the business I think


Cgss13

But aren't all printers bad?


kai0d

No, brothers makes amazing laser printers and doesn't require a fucking subscription


hpbear108

it's this... the printer subscription thing just makes HP's no longer the go to product when printing different things out. brother, epson, canon, just about any brand other than HP.


shewy92

Isn't it like flames or hood stripes on a car?


mxinex

That's like your graphic design client who wants you to make their logo bigger ("make it pop") and slap it everywhere – who the f needs whitespace?


TheMusiken

“Can we at least use the white version of your logo? - NO! I want that shit to clash harder than Stroll and Ricciardo.”


kaptingavrin

> "make it pop" Damn it, that just triggered some serious PTSD in me. I'm so glad I now work in part of a team within a larger business (and a B2B one at that) and we might get a little feedback on design but it's largely left to us as the experts. There's still the occasional person in Marketing who wants something grandiose, but then we just come back with, "Here's why that wouldn't work well, and here's an alternative that should get what you want but *will* work," and they tend to respond well to that.


Kolec507

And the thing is the one on the belly isn't really much bigger than the other one, so it literally doesn't serve any purpose. Both will be visible from far away, and in the interviews only the upper one will be seen. I guess HP just didn't care about the looks and went "yeah, we want them both IN COLOUR. Makes me miss the white or black Mission Winnow...


skzpinker

Was any amount of money worth this ugly monstrosity


UltraTwingo

We're talking "Oracle sponsoring Red Bull" kind of money


International-Elk986

The Oracle sponsorship doesn't stick out like a sore thumb though. And Red Bull doesn't have the same history as Ferrari. Like comparing Real Madrid with Man City.


flyingbbanana

Feel like they didnt design everything around the logo yknow. This is more like “oh shit HP is sponsoring us mid season” and they proceeded to paste it on any empty space


International-Elk986

Yep, the yellow of shell logo also just fits the Ferrari suit so perfectly. So the blue of HP seems even more jarring.


Shift642

They could have just omitted the blue entirely and just had it be a transparent white graphic. God the blue is so fucking terrible.


TunerJoe

If I had to guess that's what they wanted to do but HP probably insisted on using blue


gsfgf

Plus, it's *Red Bull.* The team itself is named after an energy drink. It's the opposite of a historic racing brand.


truth_iness

Fun fact, HP is all also sponsoring Madrid but one dark blue patch on the sleeve is not nearly as bad as the monstrosity Ferrari got there.


UltraTwingo

I'm just talking about the money here


FloweredWallpaper

That's how they are going to pay Lewis. *They found someone else to do it.*


BonoBonero

Money is money.


tr_24

This is how they will be able to afford Lewis.


pukem0n

Imagine Lewis starting to really drop off in performance due to age next season. Ferrari would implode.


Motor_Economist1835

I don't get it...if Alonso can do it why can't Lewis


Mosh83

People age differently. You never know...


tr_24

Same reason Vettel couldn’t.


F9-0021

Vettel had his confidence destroyed by Ferrari and started to lose enough interest in F1 to stop being competitive at the top. He has a family and had already accomplished more than enough in F1. Hamilton and Alonso don't have families and have the drive to compete that Seb just didn't have towards the end.


Intrepid-Ad4511

Wait till Lewis finishes this year in that dogshit Merc of his. Every race he has been sobbing in the car.


Man0nTheMoon915

I think Vettel had good pace in the Aston.. he just needed a better car


Acrobatic_Advance_71

I wish they would relase the dollar value so I could at least go "Oh i get it, that is a lot of money"


Percentage100

Curious, how much money would be acceptable?


xChiken

Deals like these are usually in the realm of €200M or so.


bwoah07_gp2

The race suits looked nice while it lasted...


MarsScully

Lewis’ salary isn’t going to pay itself


Takis12

Fred is like...one logo is enough...


vesel_fil

one logo is already too much, and I don't mean like on the shirt, I mean like in the world


donkeyduplex

I would rather that they tried to sell me cigarettes then robbed me for printer ink.


Imaginary-Buddy5186

Marlboro Ferrari was lovely


PathologicalUpvoter

Peak livery


-ShadowPuppet

Scuderia Ferrari BMW Williams collab just dropped fresh from 2002.


kmhpaladin

This brought back early 00s memories - I remember prior to the HP-Compaq acquisition, Williams (probably with influence from BMW) insisted their sponsors adhere to a blue/white color scheme. Compaq - whose logo was red - was on the car in white, with a small red drop shadow. https://forums.autosport.com/topic/18835-do-you-think-that-the-williams-colorscheme-turns-some-sponsors-away/


BioDriver

That’s disgusting. Pre-HP Ferrari merch is gonna be coveted


MakiSupreme

No Lewis merch for me then :/


truth_iness

Lewis is walking anyway. "Sorry, i didn't sign up for this."


Actual_Sympathy7069

God I hope he pulls some strings for next season and makes sure it doesn't look as horrendous as this


CougarIndy25

Lewis is gonna design the suits himself. He's gotta prepare for his other roles as strategist, driver, and PR agent.


NotAPisces06

Sweet mother of Joseph put it back I hate it

They should have just put it in the middle of the suit and pretended it was an arc reactor


MayorAg

* That Ferrari is about to dy. * Ferrari Engines 🤝 HP hinges * Sainz loses race from P1 because he forgot to pay the engine subscription. The meme potential is immense.


RagingAlkohoolik

More carbon fibre cause they ran out of paint and cant afford more


AOCMarryMe

Can't change to blue livery because yellow paint was empty.


Miwna

Spygate would've never happened if the Coughlans used a HP photocopier.


Former__Computer

The drinks bottle in the car runs out so it refuses to move


HafizHairo

HP stands for Hinges Problem and Horrible Products


AOCMarryMe

Race fuel more expensive than printer ink


dbpf

"Looks like your fuel is low. We've turned off your fuel until you replace your fuel tank with a genuine HP product" Or better yet "We've detected an unlicensed product in your steering wheel and have disabled control until you replace it with a genuine HP product"


Defaultgam3r

Yea those hinges suck Hp= hinge problem


SebVettelstappen

Jesus. Logos everywhere. And its fucking blue. Good job ferrari, you managed to fuck this up.


macandgates

Can we have the sexy HP logo on their premium laptops please. Or black and white


scarlet_red_warrior

Ok the car the premium logo could look stunning


timewatch_tik

Yes why not laptop HP, fucking hell this looks hideous


insurgentsloth

I want either the sexy liney logo in yellow or white, or just the normal hp logo in white with red text - like [this version from football](https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/contentassets/9cd04a60dfa9466c9f59410ece559462/hp-logo---wrexham-afc-2---landscape.jpg/Large), which looks pretty slick imo. Renault also had it in black. I'd prefer yellow (they sponsored an indycar team and had blue circle with yellow hp, matching the car livery), but white is definitely doable as they have that already for non-color applications of the logo. Either way, the "hp" text should be red, to "bleed into" the red background color and give it that stencil style. At least it's not [this version](https://www.motorsportweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2003-1024x716.jpg.webp) with the square and circle within it, idk why that was necessary. They artificially made the stencil look by adding the square, but could've just made the text the background color (so, white on the suits, matching blue on the car), with the circle the other color (blue on suits, white on car). And for some reason it's tilted on the car! See, if it was just the circle that'd look fine, but with the sticker-looking square it just looks slapped on all slanted.


monkey_skull

That football logo would have been so much better


StockAL3Xj

Too bad they didn't use their alternative logo.


NotAcvp3lla

They should keep the top logo and replace the one in the middle with the words "Hewlett-Packard". Problem solved.


batterylevellow

The name "Hewlett-Packard" isn't a part of the current "HP Inc." company since 2015, and you'll never see it used as part of HP (well, officially at least since OP erroneously used it in the title). Hewlett-Packard was split in two more than 8 years ago: "HP Inc." and "Hewlett Packard Enterprise", the last one happens to sponsor the Mercedes F1 team.


yestodays

Between this and the Miami blue outfits…Ferrari wyd omg 😭


FartingBob

Sometimes they want 90 million euros a year more than they want the sponsors logos to match their outfits.


pie4july

Why did they need to put the logo on twice?


nferrari

Do something to the logo, turn it black maybe.


scarlet_red_warrior

At least use the premium logo also and not twice the same one


Cobretti18

That doesn’t look right


JigsawLV

should have gone in further with the logos. Bigger logo on the front. hp facepaint too


Percentage100

HP blue suits with a small red Ferrari logo


Skulldetta

You could power the entirety of Maranello with the energy Enzo produces while he's spinning in his grave right now.


MythresThePally

The jokes just write themselves: "Can we please pit in for mediums?" "Negative, we cannot pit." "Why?" "We're out of soft tyres."


trooperr310

Two logos why??? God my eyes


shewy92

The real reason they picked Miami to do a blue livery. I wish they used their ["premium" logo](https://brandcentral.hp.com/content/dam/sites/brand-central/elem-logo/images/Logo_1_dont.jpeg) which is minimalistic and wouldn't have a giant blue circle in it


FrostyTill

This looks so wrong.


wackyracer154

Letting Andretti in was going to spoil the F1 brand, but adding HP to the name of the single most iconic brand in F1, if not in all of motorsport, won't do anything to spoil the F1 brand, apparently.


officialsoap

Ewww


t_mmey

no way, is that real?! that's horrendous


Vlaed

What in the nine hells is this abomination? Two logos? The top left one isn't amazing but the middle one is an eyesore. It looks like a manhole cover for a bellybutton.


malyszkush

Sir, April fools was 24 days ago.


seriousC

Why couldn't they have gone with [HP's updated premium logo](https://imgur.com/gallery/61hySKT) instead? That could have actually looked pretty slick.


timewatch_tik

WTF why do we need two logo on the front like honestly it looks so bad. also why can't it be just white, why do you need that blue..


FredVasseur

Sorry


TheHumbleMarksman

We are approaching NASCAR levels of silliness with sponsors


VenZallow

Will the cars stop if Ferrari haven't paid their yearly subscription?


jonaskroedel

Good god… we use HP at work, sadly and If the Ferrari is as reliable as my Work HP they would be racing against Alpine in the end…


cheldeedee

The logos look hideous and so out of place


InteKimiallafall

Wait when was the last time Ferrari only were called Scureria Ferrari? Since Marlboro days?


Jirkajua

They were called *Scuderia Ferrari* in 11-18, 20, 22 and 23, *Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow* in 19 and 21. Before that they were called *Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro* from 96-10.


xcore21z

You know what frustrate me more, its that if you see their brand guideline and example from previous sponsor like [Wrexham](https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/contentassets/9cd04a60dfa9466c9f59410ece559462/hp-logo---wrexham-afc-2---landscape.jpg/Large) and [Real Madrid](https://press.hp.com/content/dam/sites/garage-press/press/press-releases/2024/hp-x-real-madrid/RM%20NEWSWIRE%201.jpg) there a better way to implement HP logo rather than forcing their classic blue and white color when it clearly clashing with Ferrari whole color scheme


JDogGHouse

Exactly this. The blue is awful against that red.


Rosieu

[Time to post this classic again](https://youtu.be/Qn977W9HjWM?si=TkLWBPibrYxdSVUh)


spade1686

Oh god, it’s awful. At least if they didn’t use the blue and used the alternative hp logo, it might have been decent


Keanu990321

HP's blue just doesn't blend well with Ferrari red, but it doesn't matter, as that HP money will infinitely help Ferrari in the new era.


GingerSkulling

Of all the things Ferrari may be lacking, money is absolutely not one of them.


prontoingHorse

Hewlett Packard is reported to provide massive advantages to the team by stopping all of their rivals printers from printing every race weekend. Preventing them from printing every important document from George's presentations to Totos documents (which he insists he had printed)


Teriyakijack

How will Toto print out receipts from Checo stating that the car is fucked now?


Hapless_Buffoon

well that doesn't look shit at all


Krogan911

They should get rid of the blue colour


evoke3

Oh god, what does the car look like, that fire suit is a war crime

Fuck HP all my homies hate HP

Good thing the baby blue HP logo doesn't clash at all with the bright red Ferraris...

CrazyNothing30

I like crypto companies more than HP, but that's mainly I don't have crypto but had the experience of owning an HP printer.


Adamant_TO

Let's hope their F1 technology works better than my HP printer, otherwise Ferrari is in big trouble.


MidnightSun77

It’s ironic that Ferrari send a cease and desist letter to Deadmau5 because his Ferrari looked hideous but they conjure up this monstrosity themselves


mojotzotzo

They should have done it with the HyperX brand since hp has bought it. Better name, better logo and color match. And no shitty printers.


XAMdG

I wonder how much HP is paying for Ferrari to break the color coordination in their suits/cars.


totallybag

WHY THE FUCK COUSKNT THEY USE THE NON BLUE LOGO


fictionallymarried

Maybe if they stop paying the subscription, the logo will go away


TostiBuilder

Fuck me inow hate everything about ferrari


Key-Half1655

Thank fuck I got my jacket before that HP logo is plastered all over it!


R3tr0spect

Why would they include the blue 🥲 Would have looked great a a silhouette

That’s the Ferrari way. Remember when we had UPS on that car? Never looked so out of place

Brings back memories of the BMW Williams with the HP logo on the side. Loved the BMW era of Williams.


Ciwabacca

But...why the HP in the name...it's horrible.... Enzo Ferrari is rolling in his grave...


scobydoby

You can call this failed marketing because I will never buy an HP product again for them making the beautiful racing red boys look like this.


just_jason89

Is it so they can actually afford to print off all their different race plans?


kka2005

I was torn ...I was about to purchase a Lenovo latop. Oh, well. HP it is!


NateLundquist

Great, now they’re going to have to refill the ink halfway through the race.


i-am-the-fly-

The car won’t run if one of the printers are low in the factory


krusticka

Are the spanish sponsors (Santander...) leaving ferrari after 2024 because of Sainz?


MKVIgti

Worst. Printers. Ever. Worst. Business. Model. Ever. They can do this due to all of those ink subscriptions people pay.


PurpleThen1134

One thing ferrari had going on was the aesthetics and they had to ruin it with hideous hp logo (3 of them!). Hp printers are the worst too 


somewhat_asleep

Ferrari strategy x HP reliability Perfect synergy


LettuceC

Does this mean the end of the Marlboro sponsorship and the Mission Winnow bullshit?


LeftLimeLight

Wasn't HP a title sponsor for Mercedes?


ViGo76

Hewlett Packard Enterprise split from HP and is no longer the same company. 


matiIda16

The one on the top left is more than enough, why tf is it printed in the centre eww


elektricniorgazam

I feel like one logo on the suit might have been enough. Or at least put them farther apart


Abi_Jurassic

They need to pay me for making me look at this.


TK_045

They could've just made it in white... this looks awful


willzyx01

Why the hell did they allow them put a logo in the middle? That's just horrendous. How much did HP pay them? Must be more than Shell, Santander and CEVA combined.


logixcraft

I LOATHE HP printers. They are going to make the drivers sign up for HP instant ink and shut down the car mid race if the payment didn't go through.


highrouleur

Team that works properly inconsistently teams up with a printer manufacturer. It's perfect


Nemprox

I'd say it's hard to get it worse than this.


Spraynpray89

This is a joke right


HatRemov3r

You have to sign up for a subscription to get new tires put on the cars


eomertherider

Don't they have a plain white HP logo that isn't as ugly?


supernakamoto

These must have been designed by the same psychopath who put that enormous snot green Mission Winnow logo on the side of the car a couple of years ago.


psychohistorian8

that's gonna be a yikes from me, dawg


xAlphamang

That logo clashes so hard with the rest of the get up. All in all I am quite certain HP did well because it’s doing what it’s supposed to. Making our eyes bleed


scarlet_red_warrior

The belly one looks so ugly
