This will be the first of three Super Bowl recap articles. In past years, I have ranked both the Super Bowl halftime shows and the Super Bowl games themselves but I am adding a third Super Bowl list to the arsenal this season. My eight year old son is really into sports logos right now and as a result we spent some time this fall ranking the logos each Super Bowl has used to identify itself. We also had a third judge, CFRA member and fellow sports enthusiast Ward Coleman, help us with some these rankings. Our commentary about each logo is written below each, as well as the rating out of 5 we collectively gave it (5 being the best and 1 being the worst).  Like my ranking of halftime shows, I am not sure there is another list out there on the web anywhere. Feel free to comment or debate and come back to the blog tomorrow to see my updated ranking of the greatest Super Bowl halftime shows of all-time.
